Is it possible that it's the battery that's the issue and not the tool?
-
I've bought two recon drills and I'm sure I'll buy others, however both drills had problems. On one the forward and reverse button was switched. Very annoying, but they gave me my money back.

Hey, guys. I'm a mason by trade and I was laying some bricks the other day, and I ran into a little problem. I was laying up to a window and I was using my non-Fuel grinder to cut the half bricks that were to be laid next to the window. Now usually my grinder slices through pretty easily but these bricks were much harder than ones I usually deal with. Well the grinder kept cutting off and it was getting annoying. I could have used my Stihl chop saw, but that means crawling down the scaffold, yanking on the cord, and making a large cloud of dust. Its just easier to use my grinder to cut them when I'm up on scaffold. I saw that my local hardware store is having a $100 rebate on all Milwaukee Fuel kits. So, for all you guys that own the Fuel grinder, will this be a better/more powerful option? I don't want to buy it and learn that its just a little better than the non-Fuel version. Thanks for your time.

Of course now that he's in trouble for a sexual assault, he may need to play another year to pay for the lawyers fees and the settlement.

Retire. He's on top right now and he's not getting any better. In fact, he didn't play very well at all. Best QB ever to play in my opinion.

Thanks for the replies. I'm not looking to warm up a room, just blow it on sand or blocks. I do a lot of stone veneer and I try to tarp myself in where I'm working. A few years ago I used a 125,000 btu heater. It was 14 degrees outside and under the tarp I was in a t-shirt and sweating. I don't want that again because going in and out under that tarp make me sick for a few days.

Ok, so I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask about this but here goes. I'm a mason and I live in central PA where things are about to get miserable for those who work outside. Sometimes in the winter I can tarp myself under something and use a heater and sometimes I need to hear up sand, water, blocks, etc. I saw that there is a cordless torpedo heater made by Mr Heater. Has anyone ever used this? Does it put out a lot of heat? Thanks in advance.

I'm self employed, so I technically could take off whenever I want, but that never happens. I try to be at the job a little after 6 and I usually work till 430. Sometimes I deliver pizza in the evenings. That's an 18 hr day if I deliver. Way too long.

today I was gonna use my m12 ( non fuel) hammer drill and I started to use it and won't drill. The Chuck turns but I can stop it by holding it with two fingers. Any ideas?
-
Glad I purchased the Milwaukee products I wanted when I did.Before this Smart phone zombie crap was built in.I do not even own a smart phone and bought my Milwaukee products with the savings of just having a basic phone.Rather then the smart phone monthly bill.If I was a smart phone zombie I would have power tools from HF or Menards.
Are you comparing the one key system to smart
phones? Then I'm 2 years EVERYONE will have one key tools. Just cause you hate smart phones doesn't mean others can't find use for them. And they still make regular phone for people like you as will Milwaukee.

I used and abused my m12 fuel impact to drill 2.5 and 3 inch screws into my footer forms. I think it actually enjoyed it.
-
I think it's an interesting idea. Let's wait for a year before we bash it. I used to say, "I don't need the Internet on my phone, Ill never use it, I have a laptop." Well here I am typing away on my phone with my laptop next to me. No one is saying any m12 or m18 tools are obsolete now. I have a non fuel m18 hammer drill and grinder with a m12 hammer drill. I will not be buying others until they die. They work for me. But it is interesting to see what I WILL be buying when they do die. And when I do need something hopefully all the bugs will be worked out and I can control my tools as I need them. One Key or not.

Phillies, Eagles, and sprint car racing. Don't care about too many other sports. HATE the cowboys, yankees, giants, and mets.

I stopped by my local Milwaukee dealer and he has a deal for $100 off a fuel kit. It sounded like have to trade in ANY m18 tool with ANY two batteries for the discount. I may be buying the m18 fuel hammer drill and impact for $250. I'm not sure if this deal is all over the U.S. though.
-
I'm really curious to see what the one key tools are gunna cost!!
I think I read that they would cost roughly $50 more than the m18 fuel tools.
-
You know the more I think about this whole one key thing the more interested I get. I'm a masonry contractor so I don't think I'd get as much use out of it as some might. However someone mentioned that screwing metal roofing would be a good application of this. Also it may help drywall installers as well. it would be nice to control a quick or slow start for whatever you are doing. I don't believe I would ever really need to use it, but I've said that before.
-
I'm not planning on buying new tools just for this new tech. I think its cool and all, but its too advanced for me. It sounds like I would use more time programming than working. But, I may try it and see, someday.
-
I hope they announce they are going to be launching fuel versions of small kitchen appliances. Like a brushless waffle maker or a 9.0ah blender battery.
Damnit!! Now I'm hungry. Thanks guys.

I hope that the big reveal doesn't cause me to roll my eyes and go back to sleep. I am kinda excited. I don't think they would do this unless this really could change the way we work.

I'm always interested in tool stores, in any country. Although I imagine the UK to be mainly castles like downtown abbey.

My friend was driving about 90 down the road and a cop passed him going the other direction. My friend slowed the car to a reasonable speed but the cop turned around and stopped him. The officer asked him if he knew how fast he was clocked at. My friend responded, " you mean before or after you saw me?" The cop laughed and let him go.

The 2.0 battery is great too
-
M18 still outperforms the M12 Fuel. That said, with a compact on the M18 and XC on the M12 the M12 would likely win on run time depending on how tough the job is, while still being lighter.
The 4.0 battery does put the run time, most likely better than, some of the m18 drills.
-
I wish that formula worked that easily. If you look at the stats of the m12 fuel hammer drill and the cheapest m18 drill, the m18 wins out. If I remember correctly the m18 has 150 lbs torque more than the m12 fuel. I had the same question you did when I bought my tools. I came to the comclusion that I need to buy the line/tools that works for me. I need a m18 hammer drill but an m12 fuel impact works for me.

I just got an email from Milwaukee today. Home Depot is selling the One-Key hammer drill and impact with 2 5.0 batteries and a free Fuel hackzall or 7 1/4 circular saw. There are a few other options, but I think this is an excellent deal. I'm not sure if I'm special or if anyone can buy this.
