I think they are clearancing those kits out....it is a STEAL!!! The M18 compact drill/driver, M18 hackzall, 2 compact batteries, charger, and toolbag. I have used the M18 hackzall side-by-side with the M12 FUEL Hackzall & they are almost the exact same size & speed. That is one of the best tool deals out there in my opinion....the drill by itself costs more than the kit!

AWESOME!!!

Wow! Cool I didnt even know there was such a thing as a cordless planer! Let us know when/if you make a review on it....I would definitely like to know what kind of runtime you are getting.

I thought from what I read, the new "5th gen" gear will have USB charging built in for phones, a fuel gauge, and there are different color schemes. Here is the email I got.... ____ Milwaukee® Delivers All Day Heat for the Work You Do 7/01/14 MILWAUKEE, WI –Milwaukee Tool will continue to expand their line of M12™ Heated Gear as they begin their 5th Season this fall. The 2014 line includes a ground-up redesign of M12™ Heated Jackets, the introduction of the M12™ Realtree Xtra® Camo 3-in-1 Heated Jacket, and new M12™ Heated Hoodie color options for on and off the jobsite. Powered by M12™ REDLITHIUM™ Battery Technology, Milwaukee® Heated Gear distributes heat across the chest and back to actively warm core body areas. Durable carbon fiber heating elements woven in between rugged exterior materials and thermal insulating liners generate and maintain heat to reduce the need for bulky layers. Three heat settings (High, Medium, Low) allow the user to select the right amount of warmth for all weather conditions. All M12™ Heated Jackets, Hoodies and Hand Warmers are now fully machine washable and dryable for extended use. Redesigned for optimal fit, better heat retention and improved versatility, the new Milwaukee M12™ Heated Jackets feature an improved cut that provides an enhanced range of motion and keeps heat closer to the body. Now with a new two-tone color design, the rugged wind and water resistant shell keeps weather out, while improved insulation and a thermal fleece lining hold heat in to reduce the number of layers needed. For added versatility, two distinct heat zones (back and chest, lower pockets) can be adjusted independently to provide the right amount of heat for any situation, and an oversized cargo pouch and utility pocket have been added for storage. A USB charging power port conveniently charges all portable electronic devices, while displaying remaining run time for the battery. The new jackets will be available in Black, Red and RealtreeXtra® Camo, joining the Women’s and High Visibility Heated Jackets to round out the M12™ Heated Jacket lineup. Brand new this fall, Milwaukee® will also introduce the M12™ 3-in-1 Camo Heated Jacket. The most advanced heated jacket system designed for the outdoorsman, the customizable 3-in-1 Heated Jacket sets a new standard in cold-weather performance and versatility. Worn separately as a base layer or attached to the outer shell, the heated vest integrates five carbon fiber heating elements and advanced fabric-layering technology to distribute and maintain heat across core body areas. The rugged wind and water resistant shell features special noise-reducing fabric with the Realtree Xtra® Camo pattern to withstand the harshest outdoor conditions while blending in with the natural colors of the fall, winter and early spring. Made out of the same weather-resistant material, a removable hood helps keep heat in and provides additional protection against the elements when added to the shell. With the versatility to provide warmth during fall, winter and spring months, the new M12™ Heated Hoodies will include the addition of black as a color option, as well as two Realtree® camouflage patterns. Featuring noise-reducing fabric, Realtree Xtra® Camo works best in wooded terrain throughout all regions, and Realtree Max-1® Camo mimics the neutral earth tones found in the southwest, west and plains regions. The Red, Black and Gray M12™ Heated Hoodies are made from a thick cotton blend that is built to withstand wear and tear on the jobsite. The High Visibility and new Camouflage hoodies feature a water-repellant polyester shell for protection from the elements. All feature a waffle-weave polyester thermal liner and rib-knit cuffs to provide superior heat retention in the coldest months. On or off the jobsite, Milwaukee M12™ Heated Gear provides up to 6 hours of continuous heat per battery charge for use in all seasons and outdoor environments. M12™ REDLITHIUM™ Batteries are compatible with over 60 power tool solutions from Milwaukee.

CONGRATS REGOPIT!!!!!!

August 12th-14th

Here is a good review by ChuckE2009 ----

I would suggest picking one line of cordless tools, since the batteries would be interchangeable. Batteries & Chargers are a HUGE expense when you are looking at tool kits VS bare tools.

Yes, I would like to hear some reviews on your Milwaukee M12 tools also. Oh, and I sent you a message through YouTube on June 3rd....I am not sure if you got it or not. If not, shoot me a PM on here. Woodstockva

Frankie you need to get some boots for those impacts before they get beat up! Nice collection!

There are two things thieves absolutely hate.......LIGHT & DOGS. Even if you dont have dogs, put up some "beware of dogs" signs on both sides of your house & install some dusk-till-dawn LED floodlights (wired in, not solar). You will be the one house that doesnt get broken into. I used to rekey houses for banks (foreclosures) & I can break in any lock typically faster than you can use a key. There was only one type of house I refused to break in.....ones with dogs inside.....I hear barking, not a chance. Most doors can be opened with a credit card or putty knife if the deadbolt is either not locked or not installed. A deadbolt absolutely is a necessity. Also, Kwikset locks SUCK! I can open them with paper clips. And, if you twist the handle back and forth hard.....about 50% of them will unlock with no key. Get some Schlage locks.....doorknob & deadbolts. Also make sure all of your windows are locked. I would say 90% of houses have at least one unlocked ground level window at all times.

I bet a week of Mickey Mouse is really going to make you appreciate some alone time back in the garage when you get home! haha

Here is my list.... $220 - WrightGRIP #958 - full polish metric set $80 - Sunex #1848 - 1/4" impact master socket set $65 - Astro Pneumatic #3018 - Digital Tire Inflator $1000 - JET 354170/JDP-20MF 20" Floor Drill Press $260 - John Dow JDI-6EV 6 gallon Fluid Evacuator $850 - Eastwood TIG 200 Welder

SWEET!

Good job dude!

Some old man with an oxygen tank was standing like a foot behind me while I took pics, and jumped in front of me before I could open a drawer.....so that is basically as close as I got.

Here they are at my local Home Depot....

I personally think that all cordless Milwaukee tools will eventually have a regular (brushed) version & a FUEL (brushless) version. While the FUEL lineup is better all around, given that it has longer runtime, longer tool life, more efficient, and more powerful......the regular M12 & M18 tools are very good also. My opinion would be, if you need one now.....go ahead and buy it. Milwaukee tools hold thier value very well, and if you end up deciding to upgrade later on, just sell it on craigslist. I can see waiting IF you know something has been announced already.....but Milwaukee is very good about giving everyone a "heads up" months in advance via press releases. So I would say even if they announced today that it was in the works, it would be 3+ months before it was available to order.

Cool.....great job! I have only ever seen the round ones that are flush with the surface of the street.

Wow....cool! I am glad you got it working again.....amazing that a fall off a roof didnt bend anything to the point that it was broken permanently! $17 would be cheaper than the eBay fees just to sell the broken one & ship it.

Haha nice I do this in traffic.....if someone is cursing me & yelling, I smile and wave at them.....it makes me even more angry. hahahaha

TEKTON 1354 1/4-Inch 3/8-Inch and 1/2-Inch Drive Star Drive Bit Socket Set, 35-Piece Thats a good deal for $26.99......I have it & it works great

Is that the 2653-22? I have one also Its a powerful little sucker.....I like the 3 speed settings (like the 2654) & those 4.0 batteries. Glad to see you are upgrading!

Cool! I will be anxious to see how this turns out.
