Milwaukee Tools

It’s what threads are for. I like to know the basis for someone’s choices since I look at posts both from the side of asking and informing. Why, what, and how. Up to you to choose if.

 

ahhh but Milwaukee makes even cooler wire strippers than those too… these are amazing, and way more versatile

 

Klein Katapult, mic drop.

 

Yes I love these!

 

Coworkers have those and they are great for electrical work. I deal with mostly low voltage stuff so need them for smaller wires.

Never been a fan of that style. Way to bulky to carry around for my type of work.

 

I believe I misspoke and have this version actually, more of a needle tip.. but makes sense as to you wanting something with a bit more finesse!

 

This.

 

My preferred small gauge wire strippers go to set:

Now HFT has some

 

Yup this x10000. Got a set when I was wiring up my truck a couple years ago, have used them hundreds of times and work just as good as the day I got them.

EDIT: and the Model #

$30 3005CR Wire Crimper Tool, Ratcheting Insulated Terminal Crimper for 10 to 22 AWG Wire

3005CR for crimping duties.

 

I agree I wouldn’t want to carry them in a tool belt but really got spoiled on them making up harnesses for the truck.

 

Just took delivery of an 18v battery soldering iron. I found out about them from a friend that uses Milwaukee stuff. It’ll be nice not to have to run a cord for future truck wiring. The guy has an outdoor train setup so I can help with that as well as his honeydo lists.

 

Ok I bought the m18 weedeater two months ago cause I hurt my shoulder again but I can now pull start my echo so I am interested in selling the m18 weedeater, I am very impressed with it but I already own a professional grade echo with four different attachments that I really like.
I paid $300 out the door for it, any chance someone here in Louisiana wants to buy it from me for $250? Link of what I have.

Dewalt makes some good stuff. Their impact wrench numbers are diabolical.

 

fyi, there are dewalt-to-milwaukee, and milwaukee-to-dewalt battery adapters, join in on the fun!

but my understanding is that dewalt's impacts consistently rank higher in peak impacts/torque, both on new tools, and older tools than milwaukee.

 

Funny, I was just looking for weed eaters yesterday since I need one

Oh well

 

With the 8AH battery and charger?

 

Ahh yes I have seen these. That’s a good thought, I do have plenty of stuff labeled Milwaukee you just have to use your arm to operate lol
