Oh, whoops. I misread your post title. Sorry about that. Well, anyway, I think you'll love one of the small rotary hammers for a big Tapcon job over the hammerdrill.

Are you using the 2712 (1") or 2715 (1-1/8") today? The ratings are pretty close but the performance/weight/size are pretty different which is why I ask. I'm pretty biased, but the M12 FUEL 2416 And M18 2612 (5/8") were designed specifically with these kind of fasteners in mind. Great performance in those hole sizes but keeping the weight down.

You have the right idea. The tools operate very differently. To a point, the hammer drill speed is proportional to how hard the user pushes. With a rotary hammer, just keeping it engaged with the material (just enough pushing force) is the optimum condition. Further pushing just adds additional drag which can slow down the tool and reduces #holes drilled on a charge.

It's the same saw, guys.

Hmmm...Plumber, Electrician, ... Pest Control? This could go great with my M28 mouse trap concept.

Not just overseas. It's an M28 version of the M18 2715. https://www.milwaukeetool.com/power-tools/cordless/0757-20

Both are coming out as bare tools. Looks like the die grinder page isn't up but the mid torque is up: https://www.milwaukeetool.com/power-tools/cordless/2860-20 https://www.milwaukeetool.com/power-tools/cordless/2861-20

1/2" is referring to the capacity of the business end. The internal thread of the chuck for fitting to the output spindle is 9/16"-18 UNF.

You can find the part number for the chuck by searching the model number on this site. http://services.milwaukeetool.co.uk/jsp/index.jsp

You might already know this, but there are a few different models at different prices. The 2309 goes for around $100. It runs on a standard 9V battery rather than M12. https://www.milwaukeetool.com/instruments/inspection-and-detection https://www.milwaukeetool.com/instruments/inspection-and-detection/2309-20

Just wanted to let you know that I LOL'd at seeing the handwritten "3.0" on the battery--awesome.

If I had to guess I'd say real, so I wouldn't doubt you. Fake account probably wouldn't add the NA at the end.

I am actually an engineer at Milwaukee Tool if that's what you mean. I don't know who the 'Milwaukee Tool NA' account is or if it's real. o_O maybe, maybe not.

Good point on AC/DC (war of currents), but Carl is right. I was referring to wireless power. Tesla's experiments from 100 years ago are pretty interesting to read about. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_Currents http://www.teslasociety.com/tesla_tower.htm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_power_transfer

Time to cancel all my projects and get going on this!

I watched that hoverbike one when it came out. I thought the guy was going to lose a leg trying to ride that thing. Pretty crazy.

Mike, nope. It's 18V. Three rows of cells to get the extra capacity. Our XC packs have 2 rows. Edit: I think I see the image you are referring to in #NPS16. They are saying that the pack designer could configure the pack that way if they chose to. Series versus parallel.

Check out the box on the top of each pdf. You will see the different Service Parts Lists on each product's webpage. https://documents.milwaukeetool.com/54-24-2660.pdf https://documents.milwaukeetool.com/54-24-2661.pdf https://documents.milwaukeetool.com/54-24-2662.pdf https://documents.milwaukeetool.com/54-24-2663.pdf https://www.milwaukeetool.com/power-tools/cordless/2604-20

Tim, Hopefully this helps. Some of the links/screencaps you have are to older models which can get confusing, for sure. Here's the current lineup: Brushed https://www.milwaukeetool.com/power-tools/combo-kits/2691-22 Compact Brushless https://www.milwaukeetool.com/power-tools/combo-kits/2799-22cx FUEL ("Gen2") https://www.milwaukeetool.com/power-tools/combo-kits/2897-22 FUEL + ONE-KEY https://www.milwaukeetool.com/power-tools/combo-kits/2796-22 These are all hammerdrills with 1/4" hex impact drivers. Batteries vary but are listed in the contents. Comp covered the battery line-up (only missing the 6.0Ah XC which like the 9.0Ah isn't out quite yet).

As Jeff said, it's the maximum hole diameter you should use the tool for. Can the tool drill the hole? Yes. Is it the speed you'd be satisfied with for frequent use? Probably not. For the usual size, divide the max rating by 2 and add 1/8" or 1/4". Usually gets you pretty close. If you were drilling 1" holes all day, you wouldn't want to be using SDS. SDS-Max would be more appropriate (with 1-1/2"+ max rating). SDS or SDS+ or SDS-Plus are all the same thing with a common shank size. SDS-Max is a different, larger shank size.

Based on your original picture, I think you're right. It snaps on to the nose of #29 to keep it (and associated parts) from falling back into the tool.

You can search for a service parts list at the address below. Searching the four digit model number will usually return a list of results. Look at the first four digits of the serial number to match the right list to your particular tool. https://www.milwaukeetool.com/service/manuals-and-downloads

I can do anything I put my mind to, Mr. Harris
