    Have there been any leaks as to what might be released?  This should be an off year as both the m18 and m12 drills and impact drivers are fairly new and competitive as class leaders.  I would think this would leave more room for some specialty tools.  I'm hopeful for a gen 3 m18 compact impact wrench or possibly a m18 stubby impact wrench.

    a fold out table like the Syscart would be nice. I'm thinking about buying just the table and adding it to my packout boxes, or I just may make something similar

    This would be pretty nice. I'd also like to see some kind of adapter plate that would allow other things to be attached like the miter saw etc. I routinely set my miter saw on top of my stack to wheel it in to a site, but would feel better if it was locked on. To combine the fold our cart idea and this, you could have some fold our rails that the miter could attach to.

    Great for the new HO batteries, but I'm disappointed it doesn't decrease the charge time for all the older batteries at least a little bit. I only have a couple 12's that I basically rotate thru my table saw. Its rare that one is not ready by the time the other dies. I'll be sticking with the current rapid charger. I'm guessing these will show up in kits that have an HO battery eventually, so maybe I'll get one then.

    I've actually had decent luck with mine - no jams to date and I've driven maybe a thousand brads.  I do have to say that it is quite finicky when it comes to sinking nails fully. If you don't get the angle just right and have the face fully flush against the work piece, you've got a decent chance of a nail sitting proud of the surface when it fires.  This is more of a problem when you're in a tight spot and maybe can't get the gun all the way in or are at an angle.

     

    I would agree. Definitely need to make good contact and keep it pressed tight. I use Hitachi nails from Lowes and don't have too many jams. I've shot several thousand through mine. I am 100% cordless with Milwaukee, so I do have that pressure to stay on the same platform and not introduce a new brand/battery, so it's worth it to me to stay and deal with a few minor issues.

    Agree for the shop it works to clean up..for the jobsite,no...dust extraction not really...just underpowered. It needs more power...we returned it.

    bummer. dust extraction was what i was hoping to use it for.

  7. Problem with New M18 2737 Jig Saw????

    I just got mine yesterday and have been playing with it. Seems like there is a trigger issue. If I ease on the trigger, it's fine, but if I squeeze it to full power immediately, then 90% of the time nothing happens, like there's some kind of disconnect when you pull too fast. I wondered if this was maybe some kind of safety feature or something but doesn't seem right. I called customer service and the tool is so new they don't even have one on hand to mess with or look at, so they just told me to see if AcmeTools would exchange it for a new one and see if it did the same thing. Or wait a little while and take it to a service center, but they won't have parts or anything for a while if Milwaukee techs don't even have them. I'm also disappointed in the dust collection; chips still fly everywhere, but at least they don't pile up by the blade. The light is a nice bonus. Definitely more power. And its a bit smaller all around, so it fits in my old jobsite organizer better!

    Ended up having to drop off at local service center and they are mailing it off to Milwaukee eService for faulty trigger. Should be a quick fix and should have it back soon.

  14. Pre orders?

    I messaged Acme Tools asking about my table saw and they said , “so far we expect to ship them on July 16”. I would assume that applies to any of the other pre-order items.

    I feel like there is some basing of the current gen M18 jigsaw. It’s not the greatest, but for this little project it should be more than sufficient. It was mentioned earlier and I agree, you could make the side “left and right” cuts with the jig, then knock out the little “tab” end piece with the OMT. 

     

    Also, I wouldn’t be too worried about it rotting. Just paint both side with KILZ and it will last plenty long enough.

  17. Why Milwaukee? Why Not?

    in Milwaukee

    Posted

    I had a mish-mash of tool brands and was regularly helping a friend build fences. I decided it was time to go all cordless and try to stay all in one brand to only have 1 battery platform. I chose Milwaukee, although I’ve invested in 12 and 18v, so I do still have 2 different batteries, but being that they share a charger makes that not such a big deal. I chose Milwaukee for a few reasons (some of them much more petty than others):

    1) none of my friends had it and I like being different.

    2) good friend I trust was highly recommending them and was also looking in to the line, but was so heavily invested in DeWalt I don’t think he’s ever switched.

    3) i like red

    4) in-laws are from Wisconsin

    5) watch TONS of videos and read TONS of on-line reviews and Milwaukee consistently was one of the top rated in whatever category.

    6) Milwaukee commitment to sticking with 12v and 18v and not abandoning those lines for higher voltage etc.

    7) the innovative ideas; not always first to market, but best in market when they arrive.

    8. I can find the deals at Home Depot, but then tell Home Depot, no I’m going to buy them online. I really hate Home Depot and look for any opportunity to try and anger them. 

    9) now I just feel like I need to get to 10 reasons

    10) warranty and customer service had great reputation (and have proven said reputation to me on several occasions)

  18. So About Them New Batteries.

    That's most likely the only reason. Marketing. 

     

    In any practical sense it's a whole new battery platform. You HAVE to buy the new 12 amp batteries to get the new tools to run as they should.

     

    And altho the 12 amps are backwarths compatible with the ' normal' 18v tools.... For pretty much all normal tools it's a ridiculous and non practical thing to be hanging a 1.5 kg battery on the tool.

     

    So claiming compatibility and keeping it called ' M18' is more of a marketing thing then of much practical use

    I have the 10” miter and it will not run on anything less than a 3ah. The 1.5/2’s won’t even spin the blade by itself. The 3 will, but has trouble cutting wood. The 4 and up works fine. I suspect the new tools will be similar.

    Preorder prices are up in various places. I’ll be waiting for some bonus battery/free tool type promos. Getting way too rich for my blood to justify upgrading. 

    Acme tools and Home Depot have some of them listed. Likewise, i’ll be waiting for some promo’s or discounts. Hopefully a good July 4 sale or something before they drop on July 6th.

  20. Milwaukee Power Tool Deal Thread

    in Milwaukee

    Posted

    Saw the old rocket light bare tool (2130-20) on clearance endcap for $175. Also had the one-key sawzall for $200. Seems like clearance at local stores is pretty random. You can still get the bare tool rocket light with free 5.0 battery and charger for $200. Might wait to see if it drops below $175; they had 4 left.

  22. M18 Fuel Hackzall ?

    in Milwaukee

    Posted

    So, I had the non-FUEL M12 hackzall and it was fine for PVC pipe, but that was about it; I was disappointed trying to cut tree branches. Then I stepped up to non-FUEL M18 and was very pleased. They recently had a good deal on the FUEL M12 and getting a free bare tool, so I did that and liked it so much I sold my M18. I would only guess the FUEL M18 is badass, but I haven’t used it to know. My only “complaint” with the m12 is I just don’t have that many batteries.

  24. Whats next in the Milwaukee pipeline?

    in Milwaukee

    Posted

    Was also poking around the patent/trademark site and found this patent on a battery(s). I’ve never read these kind of documents and they sound very technical and pretty vague at times, but this one is dated Oct 2017 and reading from pages 78-80ish it sounds like some kind of super-multi-volt all-in-one battery. Or maybe I don’t know what the heck I’m reading. The pics of the battery also look a little different than the current M18’s. Interesting nonetheless.
