I'm a full time traveler so the Pack Out system works for me. Getting ready to settle down tho so Grand Kids will get those and I'll go back to the 3 roll around's that are in storage.

Milwaukee should have some trade in program. Selling all my current tools will be so hard.

 

What do you have and where are you located?

 

Merry Christmas team Santa.

 

trade-in plans in the past from other brands have always been somewhat terrible. "bring in a competitors drill, get $100 off our drill!", --on sale, it's $350, dropping the price of the one piece to $250. which is reasonable for an MSRP of $500 for a drill, but then there's always another dozen tools the offer never gets extended to. i've never seen a deal for 1-to-1 brand swaps where any brand offers a similar sale price reduction for every item in their catalog other than just drills, which makes the whole offer thing a bit useless.

i know it's not as reputable, but i really like getting stuff off ebay. i don't use the warranty. milwaukee and dewalt equally, take upwards of 3-6 MONTHS to get warranty returns back into the field-- at that point, i'm already buying a replacement because it's not like customers can just sit there and wait until '_____' brands repair shop decides to finally get to it.

it's much cheaper for me in the long run to be buying non-warrantied tools at 'fell off the truck' pricing, and repair as needed when they break using places like ereplacementparts.com and the like-- most times, i can have the tool back up and working within a week of the failure with this method.

 

Enough HD gift cards to cover most of the cost of the track saw kit with 55" track.



Timing is good as I need to build some basic storage cubes (8) with 3/4" plywood. 32"x32". Perfect opportunity for breaking down full sheets of plywood.

 

I am a Makita guy but use their tracksaw setup quite a bit in the last year and really enjoy using it. It’s great for breaking down ply sheets and box building. You’ll love the Milwaukee version I’m sure!

 

Friend's also have the Makita. One with the dual batteries and one with the newer one with the single. Both are really nice. Prior to Milwaukee dragging their ass and finally adding a track saw to their lineup, I was close to going with the Makita.

 

With a name like yours, you should be ordering yourself my latest addition to the BST section

Milwaukee radios have appealed to me; rocking an old soundbar in the garage atm

 

Anyone else have crap luck with the M12 solder iron?
I just took the 2nd one back and just got my money back.
1st one was obviously used/repackaged and did not work right out of the box. 2nd one ran for a week of very light work. And died and stopped heating
Super Disappointed. Really wanted something for fast cordless wire repairs

 

I passed on it because even the reviews at Home Depot stated how bad it was; plastic on it melting, etc.

Not a good buy at all.

 

True I did not check those until after the fact even though I purchased through HD. Looking at Amazon reviews it was generally positive.
