Oh, whoops. I misread your post title. Sorry about that. Well, anyway, I think you'll love one of the small rotary hammers for a big Tapcon job over the hammerdrill.

Are you using the 2712 (1") or 2715 (1-1/8") today? The ratings are pretty close but the performance/weight/size are pretty different which is why I ask. I'm pretty biased, but the M12 FUEL 2416 And M18 2612 (5/8") were designed specifically with these kind of fasteners in mind. Great performance in those hole sizes but keeping the weight down.

You have the right idea. The tools operate very differently. To a point, the hammer drill speed is proportional to how hard the user pushes. With a rotary hammer, just keeping it engaged with the material (just enough pushing force) is the optimum condition. Further pushing just adds additional drag which can slow down the tool and reduces #holes drilled on a charge.

It's the same saw, guys.

Hmmm...Plumber, Electrician, ... Pest Control? This could go great with my M28 mouse trap concept.

Not just overseas. It's an M28 version of the M18 2715. https://www.milwaukeetool.com/power-tools/cordless/0757-20

Both are coming out as bare tools. Looks like the die grinder page isn't up but the mid torque is up: https://www.milwaukeetool.com/power-tools/cordless/2860-20 https://www.milwaukeetool.com/power-tools/cordless/2861-20

1/2" is referring to the capacity of the business end. The internal thread of the chuck for fitting to the output spindle is 9/16"-18 UNF.

You can find the part number for the chuck by searching the model number on this site. http://services.milwaukeetool.co.uk/jsp/index.jsp

You might already know this, but there are a few different models at different prices. The 2309 goes for around $100. It runs on a standard 9V battery rather than M12. https://www.milwaukeetool.com/instruments/inspection-and-detection https://www.milwaukeetool.com/instruments/inspection-and-detection/2309-20

Just wanted to let you know that I LOL'd at seeing the handwritten "3.0" on the battery--awesome.

If I had to guess I'd say real, so I wouldn't doubt you. Fake account probably wouldn't add the NA at the end.

I am actually an engineer at Milwaukee Tool if that's what you mean. I don't know who the 'Milwaukee Tool NA' account is or if it's real. o_O maybe, maybe not.

Good point on AC/DC (war of currents), but Carl is right. I was referring to wireless power. Tesla's experiments from 100 years ago are pretty interesting to read about. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_Currents http://www.teslasociety.com/tesla_tower.htm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_power_transfer
