  1. They are the same, 21.6 volt. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  2. Here is a link to the UK Hilti site, £135. https://www.hilti.co.uk/cordless-systems/drills%2c-impact-drivers-and-wrenches/3536170 Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  3. Except that for $419 you get the impact with 5.2ah batteries, which would be like 7.0ah Milwaukee batteries if they existed. (Hilti tools are 21.6 volts)The comparable Hilti impact kit is $329. The impact sells for $169 tool only. That is hardly 3x more than Dewalt 20v max, Milwaukee fuel or Bosch. For the extra $20, you get a lifetime warranty. For the first two years you pay nothing, even for wear and tear (which no one else covers). After the first two years, no matter what you did to the tool, it won't cost more that 30% of the tools value to repair or replace. They guarantee the tool is back in your hand within 5 days. That's right, that impact will never cost you more than $50 for repair or replacement, for life. https://www.us.hilti.com/lifetime-service They are built like tanks and perform like them too! They are worth the extra cash. You can also get a full 6 tool set for around $1200 with everything you need. I got the rotary hammer drill, angle grinder, monster torque drill, circular saw, recip saw, impact driver, light, 3 5.2 ah batteries, charger, 2 bags, SDS bits, grinding/cut off wheels, hex bit set, bit holders, and chuck grease for $1270. It isn't expensive. Oh yeah, and Hilti will give you a credit for your old tools when you trade them in. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  4. The impact driver is about $30 more than the Milwaukee fuel. Definitely worth it. The warranty is second to none. I used to have full Makita, then full Milwaukee Fuel. I wish I would have switched sooner. I got sucked into the Milwaukee marketing hype. While they are decent tools, they are not all they are claimed to be. (Compared to my Makita stuff, not flaming Milwaukee!) Yes, Hilti is a little more expensive, but worth it. They will take a beating. Even the brushed Hilti stuff is amazing. As much or more torque than the best brushless stuff. My brushed drill: https://www.hilti.ca/cordless-systems/drills%2c-impact-drivers-%26-wrenches/r3421965 Go to a Hilti store if you can and just try a few tools. You will see! They sell a 6 tool kit for $1200 with batteries, bags, bits etc. You can mix and match to customize the kit. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  5. EMT clips on pvc huh? You may wanna fix that. Aside from looking like crap, it doesn't provide adequate movement for expansion and contraction. Also, the single hole clips are not rated for Pvc. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  6. I got rid of my Fuel SDS. It was a very capable rotary hammer drill. Design wise, the selector switch is clunky. It feels cheap. The balance is a little off as well. It's fine for the odd anchor, but I wouldn't want to use it all day again. Battery life is actually quite good, on a full 4.0 I could do anchors all day on 1 - 1.5 batteries The chipping is ok as well. It was pretty lackluster driving ground rods but that isn't its intended use. Also, it's noisy. Not just loud, it's supposed to be loud, but motor whine, bearing screech etc. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. Been using the greenlee ones for years. Love 'em. I am sure the Dewalt set will be good. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. 1x6 treads? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  9. I like Wera impaktor the most. Hilti is a close second. They don't wear nearly as fast as the big three brands. Impaktor bits don't cam out or round off easily. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

  11. Marketing bullsh!t at its finest! I would love to see actual stats on tools, none of this "no load" garbage or nut busting crap. I never understood how they are allowed to measure torque without load. The ratings are usually for peak torque measured for one second, rather than real world loads over time. Boggles the mind.

  12. Did it! Went from full M18 Fuel to Hilti. I was a little nervous, now I am glad I did it. If I had to go back to another similar Milwaukee-ish platform, I would try Makita again! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. I would challenge that statement. How can a company afford to spend as much as Milwaukee does on marketing? They give away batteries and bare tools like it's going out of style. There are new promotions every week. How good do you think the tools actually are? Are they really built to last? Guys buy Milwaukee and upgrade well before the tool is at end of life. Gotta have the newest and greatest! Giving a 5 year warranty doesn't mean jack schitt when the warranty doesn't cover normal use.(read the fine print about wear and tear). That is marketing bullschitt. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  14. Not a good idea! Interfering with magnetism is bad! Aside from the hall sensors, you could be diminishing the tool's performance. science! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  15. I am team Hilti. BUT... I was all Makita at one point. I was seduced by Big Red and switched. Over time, the shiny and new wore off and I was left with tools that weren't as good as the marketing would have you believe. Milwaukee is great at marketing. They are decent at tools. Milwaukee is all about hype. How good are their tools? They cost the same as everyone else, yet they spend 10x more on marketing and hype. Every other day they are giving away batteries and tools. How cheap are they? How much mark up does Milwaukee actually have? Makita would be the brand I would go back to, I doubt I would buy another M18 anything. Makita was a great reputation and their tools stand up. In my opinion, between the 3 brands in this price range, Makita is the superior all around tool brand. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. Throw em in a box, when you have enough, take to metal recycling. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  17. Full tear down, lube and clean, little loctite when you reassemble! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. Brushless eliminates losses in the brushes/commutator, increased torque etc. For SDS, the action is delivered through a geared system that provides rotation and hammer action. The force of each blow isn't determined by power output alone, but more of the stroke length and power. Brushless doesn't offer any real benefit here, just some increased runtime. Brushed motors handle harsh environments much better than the brushless too! Since instant torque and super high speed isn't really a factor either, brushless really doesn't make a huge difference other than sounding super cool! My Hilti TE4 is not brushless, but you would never know it. I had the Milwaukee fuel 2712-20 and on paper it should have out performed the Hilti. It didn't. Not even close. The marketing of brushless tools makes it hard to see through the hype and BS. Certain things are just fine being brushed, like flashlights, radios and SDS hammer drills!

  19. The best thing to clean your pliers with is a heavy duty scotch brite pad and wd40. That's what Klein recommends in their website. You should never use anything that will scratch the metal as is will oxidize very quickly. You will need to use something to grind it down nice and even, then something smooth it out and buff it a little, then treat with wd40 or another water displacement oil or lube.

  20. I have the 26 ft tape, I can get just over 10 feet in mid air without twisting or bending. Maybe you got the one made on Friday at quitting time? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. BA is great for the buck, the only thing you may want to to do is hold off on using the old ports. Zebra wood is much less denser than the veneered BA MDF stuff. You may want to start with a sealed box and 1/2 the dampening material. Most ports are tuned to the enclosure and may sound hollow and boomy in a larger, less dense enclosure. Just my 2 cents.

  22. He is using cannibalized speaker parts already. The crossovers are already on the speaker terminals. (Coils and caps) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  23. You are reading it wrong, the #1 Phillips is an "x" , while the #2 is a "+" . Hope that helps! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  24. My favorite to date, metal free and super comfortable. http://www.stcfootwear.com/product/47/safety-footwear Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
