  1. I know you are closing down the site but here's an update. i bought the m12 hammer drill kit to try out and did not like it at all. it was well engineered, power was OK, had the same light stay on for 10 sec like the makita etc. but it was just too bloody expensive for what you get and it was not that much smaller than my makita drill. for $10 more than the m12 hammer drill i was able to buy a makita hammer drill, skil saw and recip saw sans batteries. so sorry to milwaukee but i returned it and bought the other tools instead. one sentence review: great but too expensive.
  2. I love the M12 Radio and impact driver but wish the hackzall had a bit more power (red lithium XC?) would i buy again? now that the 12V MAX line has come out it is not so clear. the dewalt has that lovely LED light, 3 led`s on the impact, feels great in the hand, has more power... there is a lot of positives for the dewalt but it boils down to the selection of tools for the milwaukee battery system. so i would buy into the milwaukee system again.
  3. New member here with an observation: the milwaukee shutting off during high load is not a bad thing since it will lead to the cells having a longer life. If you continuously drain a battery at or near its`maximum rate you will reduce its`life, plain and simple. I am not saying that the dewalt batteries are going to die quickly: Dewalt may have higher quality cells in its`batteries or more efficient circuitry in the drill that allows for a higher discharge rate. BTW great information and great forum you guys have here. I use milwaukee M12 and Makita but find myself coming here very often for good information.
