I could understand having it for that use. It sounds like you are making good use of the interchangeable heads.

Chewie17, I thought the jobmax was handy when I hadn't used anything else. My 110v one would act weird sometimes too. It would fluctuate speed without adjusting the trigger. It was when I got the Bosch I realized how much difference there was. I feel like if you could use the Bosch MX30 on a couple cuts you might have a different opinion. I'm not trying to say the jobmax is useless. I'm just saying there is a huge difference between it and some of the newer dedicated multi tools. I think of it like comparing an 12v NiCd Black & Decker 3/8" drill to a M18 Fuel 2604 hammer drill.

Could you trade in one of these?http://t.harborfreight.com/power-tools/reciprocating-saws/18-volt-cordless-variable-speed-reciprocating-saw-with-keyless-chuck-68852.html I haven't had a chance to use my 2731 much yet, but I'm really liking it what I have.

$199 is a great deal on the Fuel Sawzall Kit.

At least it wasn't a shart. Or was it? Lol!

Tiny house nation?

I think the 2520 would work well in that application. Just use a good blade. The 2720 would be faster though.

No reason to pull them all the way down. The old nickel batteries were the ones that needed to be pulled all the way down to prevent them from forming a memory. I don't worry about it much with my Li-Ion tool batteries. I rotate my batteries through the different tools and slap a fresh charged battery on when they get down to 1 or 2 bars.

I like both of those.

It was funny to see how many screwed up ways they would do stuff on that show. I saw one where the guy dang near cut his hand off on a miter saw. He was holding the stock on the right side with his left hand and pulled the saw with his right hand. It looked very close.

Today we learned Eric is very gassy.

No problem. I figured that one out the hard way. Cool looking drill!!

40-50% is supposed to be the best for long term storage.Just don't leave them completely discharged.

If you are working with a bit that will likely grab, Try putting it in screw mode and turning the clutch to the highest setting. The clutch will slip when the bit grabs and not tear your arm off.

Cool trick

Looks great.

For me there is not that much of a draw to stick with one brand like with cordless tools.I do have the Milwaukee folding jab saw, PVC hand saw, and tin shears. I'm happy with them. I would consider Milwaukee for future hand tool purchases. My hand tools are a mixture of Klein, Snap on, Blue Point, Craftsman, Ridgid, Channel lock, Irwin Vice Grip, Knipex, Crescent, Gearwrench, Tetkon, SK, Allen, Vaco, Wiha, MIP, Husky, Eklind, Dewalt, Kobalt, Stanley, Douglas, Bondhus, Pittsburg, and others. Like Bremon it's a tool by tool based decision.

No problem. I'm glad we could help.

I have ended up buying two of these. They are awesome tools.

Good point. 1.5 ah will show 27wh and 2.0 will show 36wh on the base.

The 2.0 ah batteries have 2.0 on the side. The 1.5ah just say M18 red lithium on the side.

I've had that vacuum for a few months now. I'm very happy with it. I did replace the filter with the optional Hepa filter and I think I have noticed a difference in dust. That combined with the diffuser also reduced the noise.

That looks like a good deal.

Here are the three that come to mind right now 1. Rigid Jobmax multi tool- I had the corded and pneumatic version. It was my first multi tool. I guess it did open the door to multi tools for me. The trigger was annoying and it never seemed like I could keep it at the right speed. I feel that it lost a lot of power through the interchangeable head. I replaced it with a Bosch MX30 and I couldn't believe how much better it was. I guess the jobmax has its place and might work ok for someone that uses the other attachments most of the time. If you are looking for a multi tool there are much better choices. 2. Dewalt DCS387 compact reciprocating saw. I can't believe how much this saw vibrates. I bought the kit with the tough box. I got it home clipped the battery on and test run it. I was seriously thinking about if the vibrations would damage batteries over time. I had a corded Sawzall at the same time. I understand reciprocating saws will inherently have vibration, but the vibration from the DCS387 is crazy. 3. Harbor Freight 18ga 2 in 1 finish nailer. I know that I should have known better, but I have got a few things from there that was ok. I was building cabinets for my kitchen. I needed a narrow crown stapler. I had stopped in Harbor Freight and I saw the nailer was marked down to $15. I didn't even get one cabinet assembled. It wouldn't sink them flush and jammed every few shots. I drove over to Lowes and picked up a Bostitch stapler. It will sink them flush every time. The $15 spent on the Harbor Freight was a waste.

Yes the PM9. I've shot the CM 9 and its good also. I do still think the PM is better.
