Do it! This is my favorite power tool (the 2653). I do own and enjoy the 2701-20 but I bought it as a bare tool for $109 from CPO. You could always add that on later if you find you need it. But the 2653 is a beast.

> Your fire chief is brilliant. I'm sure he thinks so too. Kidding! We get along great. It is an excellent team.

I have the M18 jigsaw. Bought it not realizing it isn't FUEL/brushless (darn, wish it were). Probably doesn't really matter though as it is going to be used fairly infrequently and likely not for extended periods of time when it is used.

Thanks Mikey! DR99: Yeah, I would like to get on an 18/20v Lithium system. The most important thing is the Sawzall for cutting windshields and sometimes A/B/C posts. We'd probably only get either an impact driver or hammer drill in addition, if I can convince them to do that. We use chainsaws, K12 saws, and AMKUS hydraulic tools for serious cutting. We'd definitely go for the individual kit boxes.

Thanks folks! Would love to get the FD on the M18 line but the Chief is a yellow+black fan, so we'll see. Yes, Sawzall is definitely the most used. We also carry a hammer drill but frankly I've never seen it come off the truck for a call. I think we'd probably be better served with an impact driver.

Hi folks, Have been watching the YouTube channel for a bit so I figured it was about time I join the forums. I'm just a hobbyist, though I do use tools in my avocation as a volunteer firefighter. My day job is in technical support, mostly via message boards much like this one. Had a bunch of Harbor Freight tools until recently. Got frustrated with most of them and bought a whole bunch of the Milwaukee M18 line as well as a number of their hand tools. We primarily use Dewalt at the FD, but have been having trouble with the 24v NiCd batteries so we're doing research on replacements. Ben
