  4. Milwaukee needs to add more tools to the free bare tool offers.

    in Milwaukee

    Posted

     

     

    JackTran, I 100% agree I love my m12 Lantern, it will come in handy this summer for camping and working in tight places with no windows. Where was this vacuum tool fight? I am interested in the 20v dewalt with the cord for versitility but like the m12 as well.

     

    Original Thread by Moze. Direct link to video: 

    Just my opinion, but I don't think the m12 vacuum will sell well. Might have to wait for an upgraded version 2 (maybe Fuel?) for better suction power.

    I believe this is the link: http://www.toolbarn.com/specials/valentines-day.html

     

    M12 Fuel tool. Promo states: Choose from a Hackzall™ reciprocating saw, impact driver, cordless multi-tool, hammer drill/driver, right angle driver, 1/4" cordless ratchet, 3/8" cordless ratchet and LED stick light, while supplies last. Just add "1" to the "quantity" field of the free tool you want and then click the "add to cart" button to proceed.

  9. M12 miter saw?

    in Milwaukee

    Posted

    My problem with seeing an M12 (fuel) miter saw is the blade size. Would you want it small and compact so the max size is a ~5-7" blade?

     

    To be honest, Im hoping for a M18 Fuel Miter Saw in the US (I believe a non-fuel is available in the UK?). Hopefully smaller than the picture:

  12. M12 Build Your Own Kit Promotion + Free Battery

    in Tool Deals

    Posted

    I went ahead and bought some stuff from this promo. (Spent over $200 to get that free shipping).

     

    I originally ordered from HD for a similar promo, but I just noticed that this deal (tool barn) is giving you 4.0 XC & 2.0 vs HD's 3.0 XC &1.5 battery .

     

    Same pricing, just a better battery for those of you on the fence about this deal.

     

    Edit: I was wrong, HD has different free batteries for different items/combos.

  17. Milwaukee $80 M12 impact driver 2462-22 Review

    in Power Tools

    Posted

    Was trying to figure out how you got the m12 for so cheap, found it: http://professional-power-tool-guide.com/power-tool-forum/index.php?/topic/1966-m12-impact-driver/

    Too bad I didnt know about this.

     

    Great review Javier. Still kinda odd that Milwaukee didnt add have basic features (magnetic bit holder, inserting bit w/out pulling the chuck).

     

    Edit: newer m12 brushless allows you to insert a bit w/out touching the chuck

  18. Idea: Battery Adapter Plates

    in Pub Talk

    Posted

    Would it be a legal issue? I see items on Kickstarter for unofficial items for phones/electronics (ie; custom iPhone chargers/usb cords). Similar with 3rd party film/camera equipment.

     

    Javier, Snap-on makes this: http://store.snapon.com/Snap-on-174-Battery-Chargers-Adaptor-Battery-Slide-on-P644498.aspx which is something I wished dewalt made. Retail for that is $26 USD.

     

    If I knew more about 3D printing and CAD design, i'd tackle this myself! 

     

    For now, ill just have to find some dead batteries for cheap so I can hack/DIY the casing (similar to what a lot of people on youtube did).

     

    --------

    Just noticed this on amazon for $20: http://www.amazon.com/DEWALT-DCB090-12V-Power-Source/dp/B00EYSUK7W

    Could be a great starting point it anyone wants to make an adapter for the new dewalt 20v system.

    Converts Makita cordless tools to corded versions

    Also on amazon is this product by greenlee: http://www.amazon.com/Greenlee-EAC18120-120-Volt-Adapter-Cordless/dp/B004I0Q5PC

    Definitely overpriced, but at least the idea is possible.

  19. Idea: Battery Adapter Plates

    in Pub Talk

    Posted

    So awhile back, I was talking to my brother-in-law and he has some cordless tools that needs new batteries. Somehow 3d printing came up and the idea of creating adapter plates for use of other brand batteries in the tools.

     

    Spent sometime today and googled this myself. It turns out someone has had the same idea and made one already: http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-make-a-3d-Printed-Cordless-Drill-Battery-Ad/

     

    Since ideas are cheap, could someone who is a business man and entrepreneur with a 3D printer put together a kickstarter project where they make adapter plates?

     

    It would also be cool if you could incorporate this into the plates: http://www.milwaukeetool.com/accessories/batteries-and-chargers/49-24-2371

    Basically a USB and power out plug!

     

    Maybe even create an adapter plate so you can turn cordless tools into corded tools?

     

    The ideas are endless!

     

    [btw, this idea isn't original. In the video/film industry, they create adapter plates for different types of camera batteries. You can buy different adapter plates for different style battery mounts: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/buy/Mounting-Plates/ci/3720/N/4028759422]
