I'm holding off buying the multi-tool as well because I want the "hopefully soon" fuel version, fuel seems like a great feature on a multi-tool because of it's constant run time. Something like a fastening tool that is on then off then on again doesn't benefit as much as a constantly on tool, especially if you use the multi tool for sanding and not just nothing out moldings

It definitely depends on what type of work you predominantly do, if it is mainly demo than I can see a lot of batteries because there isn't much measure twice cut once time on stuff like that but if you do more fastening then maybe only two or three as you can do a ton of screws with a 4ah battery now a days. The other thing that matters is do you have other "accessories" like a radio, heated hoodie, that type stuff that isn't really a tool but yet takes up a battery or two.

I know the feeling of using a beater in those type of nasty conditions, I come across this more with my sawzall than my impact but I know the feeling very well

I think the 7-1/4" saw is for sale online already, would love to see a tool fight between the cordless and the corded

I baby the shit out of my tools, almost never let them touch the ground, clean them every time I use them but I will say I don't shy away from using the tool at it's limits.

I don't do a lot of carpentry at the moment so the jig saw isn't something I really need but I'm sure in a couple years I plan on doing more and more carpentry....once the fiancée starts popping out some kids maybe I'll be more into the knick knacks.

No lol, jk I feel ya. I went for the m12 right angle drill for the hard to access screws and the hackzall to get where the sawzall can't. Those might be my only m12 tools as I usually go for the m18 fuel. I can say one m12 item I definitely have my eyes on will probably be my most used tool.....the heated hoodie.

Get the fuel, it's definitely worth it, and good luck with the warranty process

I believe that sale is a Home Depot sale so every Home Depot should be doing it. The deal on the m18 bare tool doesn't start until tomorrow though.

I went to home depot yesterday to pick up some m12 tools with their sale going on and was talking to the milwaukee (TTI) rep who informed me that starting 9-1 there is a deal on the m18 tools in which you can get a free battery with any bare tool purchase so as I was trying to hold off on the fuel sawzall looks like Monday or maybe Tuesday will be the day since they are throwing ion a 4.0 battery to boot.

Get the SAWZALL lol

Yeah that definitely doesn't sound right...

Still under warranty? If you call them they might let you ship that one back and pick up a new one at the store while you are waiting for yours to be fixed and returned? It's always worth a shot

I can't remember exactly but all the specs are on Milwaukee's website, plus the 1-1/8 has a handle with vibration isolation on both ends with the 1" version only having isolation on the top half of the handle - I'm sure for long use the vibration isolation and a little extra weight will actually make the larger version easier to handle

Thanks for the heads up!
