Those look exactly like the platinum tools crimper that I have. Regularly half that price at adi iirc They work great. https://m.adiglobal.us/h5/pdp?encodedPath=%2FPages%2FProduct.aspx%3Fpid%3DTS-100004C%26category%3D7210

I'm not big on wera. Decent screwdriver. I'm just not sure that they don't round off faster than klein. Wiha on the other hand. Those live to the hype. Damn things take a beating.

This, no one would guess that my one key kit is only a couple of months old.

Decent cameras are cheap. More of a deterrent than anything. I wouldn't mind installing some obvious cameras outside of the house.

The rushing junk out comment was more a crack on makita. Had bad experiences there. My m12 collection is by no means small. I'm very fond of Milwaukee. There has been duds though. The m12 multitool was pretty disappointing. Having only high speed on the m18 hole hawg made it pretty useless too. The standard drill is more versatile. I agree. I sold my first gen m18 fuel after trying to use a large hile saw for a dryer vent between the two settings it would either toss you around or not work at all. Thank god I wasn't on an extension ladder. Not an issue with the dcd995. Second fan fuel seems much better, would still kill for the second speed. That second speed just gets work done faster with less strain.

Me too. I own an m12 right angle drill. That little adapter sees far more use.

Seriously, the only reliable 3 speed transmission on the market. I own a one key drill. For my use the middle speed on the dewalt is far more useful. If Milwaukee actually published torque settings for the one key impact they may have been on to something. As if now it's useless to me on that tool. In the drill it's only useful as an antirotation setting that I wouldn't need with a three speed transmission. Thankfully I can use the high speed for things that I couldn't on the first gen m18 fuel thanks to a more powerful motor. Still no replacement for a three speed transmission

I would have stuck with dewalt knowing what I know now. Of course after I buy into Milwaukee m18 they push out a new brushless drill and announce a bunch of professional tools. My dcd995 developing the same issue as my only other coworker who uses dewalt then nothing but lawn and garden tools really made me lose faith. I hope that dewalt keeps it up. They can put out some great products. I also love that three speed transmission on the drill. That said they've been losing professional market share for a reason. It's good to see the company pull their head out of their ass. I know that they don't rush out trash that may have issues like Makita and using different from factor cells in their 6ah batteries is a good example of that. I won't be in a rush to pick up Milwaukee 6ah batteries and I hope that someone does solid independent real world testing on the m12 3ah batteries. That's coming from a big m12 fanboy

As soon as you need batteries you pay through the nose. Thats one of the big reasons why I went with dewalt originally. That and a three speed transmission on the drill.

Pretty much this. I keep a zebralight sc600 on me and an h602 in my bag. I can't see using something like this.

Odd that they aren't using 18650 cells. Issues with heat or output on current 3ah 18650 cells?

I bought a first gen lithium ion mikita lxt drill and sawzall. Paid way too much. The both were awful tools

The fluke is far more reliable.

I'm an electrician. I had the makita quite a few years ago. The lack of an adjustable speed is ridiculously annoying. Looks like the m4 has the same issue I do have the dewalt gyroscopic and it's nice for plugs and switches. None of these will replace a nice 12v impact driver. I do find the dewalt handy. Don't really use it too often though.

Like southwire tools?

You're only lowering voltage for speed control or using an electronic clutch to stop the drill when it senses a drop in voltage in the case of their torque control implementation. It's still a two speed drill. Just has a max variable speed and a high torque cut off option.

More capacity never hurts imo. I wouldn't turn down a higher capacity battery for my m12 fuel and especially sds rotary hammer.

Would be nice to be able to use one to tie in a panel without guessing. I'm a little surprised that they pushed fine tuning settings as a selling point without publishing any.

I seem to recall eric mentioning a sheet with torque settings in the one key kits in their review. I could be mistaken. I also can't find any of that info online. Would be really handy for fine tuning various settings.

Clifs? I skimmed through short on time. Seemed to focus heavily on the software. Eric's comments seemed to reinforce my concerns. Yes or no, is it an esc? Electronic speed control alone? Pretty disappointing imo

Are you really adjusting torque? Or just max torque? Take the second speed of a dcd995, 1250rpm iirc. Obviously seeing how its achieved by a gear ratio its going to have a good bit more torque than the high speed. That does not appear to be possible on the one key drill. It looks like it only adjusts max speed and torque which I can already so via a variable speed trigger and/or clutch. At least precisely enough for my needs. So I completely agree with you there. I want to see a legit 3 speed drill from Milwaukee. It's what's keeping me with dewalts 18v platform

I'm curious how the speed control works. Is it a different transmission? Does it just control motor speed which sounds like it would lower torque at slower speeds? Does it use some sort of cvt transmission? Edit: looks like it's just speed and clutch control. Kind of disappointing imo.

I'm specifically talking about the lg hg2 and samsung 30q. They've come down in price a lot since they were released.

Don't worry, they apparently plan on cementing their reputation with home owners.[emoji14]I'm sure that they have some more "tools" aimed directly at homeowners while neglecting the professionals. Sorry, just a 20v max owner that's a little unhappy with quality and mostly innovation.

I found drywall to be about the only thing that m12 multitool was good for. I don't know about pipes. With pvc in a tight spot I use a wire cutter. Especially if there are wires in the conduit. I don't even know where my m12 multitool is at the moment and I don't really care. I can't think of a single thing that it does better than many other cheaper tools on the market. It also flies through batteries. Probably wouldn't be as annoying if it actually cut things in that time.
