Tool Whore

I'm almost positive it won't fit the brushed tools. I'll pull out my brushed tools and let you know if it'll fit the fuel case.

This is very true except DeWalt sometimes, I don't know why they do it. Its not so bad but when they announce something a year out then decide not to bring something to market then not let people know is just dumb. Like their 20v max dual bevel chop saw, they announced it like a year and a half ago but decided not to make it?? That was about dumb!

This reminds me of that Big Bang Theory episode where Sheldon was all bent about moving Thursday night hang outs to Raj's apartment and he compared it to ending the use of "M" in talking LoL! Its not funny unless you've seen the episode

I have it and love it, its a really nice saw but I don't use it all the time because I'm an electrician. Something I think is really important with any tool is how much force it takes to bog them down and this, like most Milwaukee power tools, is hard to bog down let alone stop it. Like with any other cordless tool, its convenience is top notch not having the cord. I personally no longer use my Bosch corded JigSaw, its too easy to grab the cordless and the runtime has been great with the 3.0 batteries. and now they have 4.0 and even in a few months they will have the 5.0. Here is a video I made just playing with it and the ryobi's

I agree! Not only was it not brushless but is is also slower than the M12 version. I love the M12 but decided to hold off on the M128 till the brushless version comes out. I was one of the suckers that bought the Brushed version of the M12 SDS but quickly sold it to get the Fuel version the day it was available.

If any of you have question about it, want photos of certain sides or details or have request for the demo video, let me know. I'm looking to push this thing to its limits or at least see if there is a limit.

Hello all, I just got this BandSaw in and figured I'd share my thoughts on it. I'm going to be doing an actual review on it. I am so pumped that these kind of tools are even capable of being powered by batteries these days, the technology is frickin' amazing!

Thanks man, I appreciate it. I really enjoy tools, its a hobby so making videos of them is just fun for me. I just made a video of the fuel Band saw, I didn't edit it or anything just to get it out there till I could do an actual review cutting materials and stuff.

Its with the new HD camera I have that its noticable, so I need to figure out how to seem engaging while staying away from the camera. Thanks for the advise, I need to see if an external mic is able to be used with my camera. I didn't notice it till you mentioned it now it annoys the hell out of me LoL!

I don't see anything wrong with it in general but in this particular contest it was based on peoples personal collections and some of them were store owners posting their stock. I think its cool to post pics of your stock to show your inventory but not in a contest where others are investing their hard earned money and trying to win a customer appreciation contest.

That is a great point! I appreciate the input. I recently bought a HD Camera for reviews but the one thing I didn't take into consideration is my Genetic periodontitis and its highly noticeable in the new videos I've tried to make so I was wondering how to make them without actually being in the videos until I have dental reconstruction done LoL! Thanks for pointing that out.

This was a demonstration video of me trying to explain the difference between standard hammer drills and rotary type since a few people had asked me. What's your thoughts, what could I have done to make it better? Other than to quit hitting the drills LoL!

Haha! I just realized who you are, I've seen your youtube reviews and think they are great. Keep up the great work bro!

I contacted them when I got home, I wanted to let them know that they are either defective or something worse. But they did write me back in a matter of hours with an Email and wrote back in a matter of hours again. I believe they want to get to the bottom of if because of the nature of it being a sharp tool and the fact it went through not only my finger but a glove as well could become a bigger problem later if its a design flaw. I's always liked Stanley and Black & Decker so I'm sure they will rectify it either way.

Thanks! You should check out the fallow up video I just posted. I was going to do one in a month but it didn't last that long before it went horribly wrong :/

This is just a stupid overview of two knives i just did, I figured I'd share my thoughts.

Good God, why, why would they make this without ratcheting capabilities? They already make the ratcheting multi-driver. *shakes head*. Another beautiful blunder by my favorite hand tool company. Uggh!

LoL! Another face to the picture, mine is the extreme bottom right. Nice collection dude!

I know I wish I had a friend or the extra money to blow on it. I've been debating on whether to buy the H/Drill impact combo to do a head to head with the Milwaukee Fuel. I am very interested in how they both perform. I have the Milwaukee set and am super happy with its performance but longevity still needs a few more years to make its mark.

Thanks guys, I look forward to interacting. Even though I'm a Milwaukee guy I'm actually devoted to my wallet. I'll still buy other brands if its better but at the moment Milwaukee's quality has been superb the last few years and DeWalt has always seemed to fail me. I still have some dewalt tools as well as Makita, Bosch and others though its just the battery tools that are dominated by Milwaukee at this point.

Hello, everyone! I guess I should have posted here before posting replies everywhere LoL! I'm generally a lurker, I've been lurking the forums and other places for a couple of years now but I don't interact much online. I love the tool reviews on Youtube and such so I've finally decided I should be a participant instead of sitting on the sidelines. I'm sure I'll make some laugh as well as piss some off but I'm passionate about tools so I guess its unavoidable. We'll be good so's long as you agree Milwaukee is better then DeWalt Flame on! LoL!

Here is my take from 15+ years in the electrical trade. The first thing is that there are 10 dickheads for every great person and I'm sure its about the same for everything. Electrical is very stressful at times and when running work it is even more so, so those who don't have very good managerial skills are self destructive when it comes to dealing with others. Don't take it personally. Most people who run work don't have time to "deal" with teaching others but this is where they are mistaken, that IS part of their job, others just go on power trips thinking they are better then everyone else. Having a journeyman's license is meaningless to me, for every good journeyman out there there are 6 i wouldn't trust to put a wire nut on a joint in my house. The prep courses are setup to where you can know absolutely nothing about the trade and as long as you have good book memorization you can pass the test. Only with time in the trade and good people skills are you a good electrician regardless of a card or certification. Personally, I've been thinking about what I want to do for the rest of my life and electrical contracting isn't one of them, I love the trade and love building and especially love seeing the finished product but its a dog eat dog world. Its very cut throat and hard to make it in the beginning. If you are looking at the trade to be a business owner on day I would suggest venturing out to multiple areas. I've decided that I want to own my own business but will only do so with it geared towards specialties like generator service &installation, tankless water heater S&I, modular dimmer controls and home automation and the like. The more specialties you have the less likely you'll be fraught with the typical trade downtime. Most companies go service and installation so you need to stand out from the rest. Its a good trade and wouldn't discourage anyone from doing it even if its just as a career with no intentions of owning a company but the same is true for an electrician as it is as a contractor, the more certifications in specialty areas the more valuable you'll be to an employer. They are more likely to shit-can a guy during downtime that only does new construction then they are to get rid of someone is universally talented in many areas. I think the main thing you need to keep in mind is that people are fallible, dickheads are unavoidable and it will actually make you a better electrician by way of forcing you to do better rather than skating by via the buddy system, Just remember, if and when you make it to that point in life it is your OBLIGATION to teach those below you and to do so without belittling them. I'm not anti-journeyman or anything but that card means nothing when the holder is book smart and field retarded. 80% of what you'll learn in the trade you won't find in a book, its time and ability to innovate methods to make you more efficient. MOST IMPORTANT, don't EVER think you don't need to take advice from those below your position, sometimes greenies have very good ideas and can teach you something. It is important to analyze what they suggest and either take the idea and run with it or explain why it won't work. I only slept for 2 hours last night so sorry for rambling. Good luck with whatever you do.

I forgot to add how I use my tools. I use them by trade but being a tool whore I find reasons to need and use them. I post review videos on youtube sometimes. I'm going to be making one soon on the Milwaukee 2763 High Impact 1/2" impact, its not a tool I need often but I'm going to be making a review video of it simulating a laminated beam assembly using 150 board ft of 2x16 Microlam.

LMAO! I think this is going to catch on here in the states.

I'ma Governmental facility lectrizian by trade but I'm an information junkie. Being an electrician, especially service electrician at times, I'm basically forced into being a handyman doing everything from drywall to plumbing and trim carpentry. Which bodes well for me because I try to learn as much about everything I can. I'm certified in generators (Air and liquid), Tankless water heaters (Gas and electric), gas certified, OSHA certified, CPR, and unofficially certified in demolition I have well over 4,000 hours in heavy machine operation, including but not limited to; High-lifts, Lull's, Mini-Ex, heavy demolition and extendo-boom excavators. Many types of man-lifts, Combo's, front loaders, etc. My main areas of interest are construction trades but I dabble in law, automotive mechanics, woodworking (general, custom and trim), IT and whatever may peek my interest. I know a lot about everything but proficient in nothing
