Super clever

Don't think it would be a grinder unless it's 7", because there are already cordless grinders, so they wouldn't be worlds first.

I have the 7 1/4 fuel and have really liked it. I didn't even thing about what side the blade is on, but now that I have it I realize it's opposite of what my old corded saw was, so it feels backwards. Even if I knew that from the start, I probably would still go 7 1/4 because of blade availability.

Wow, these are nice but very pricey. I like my floodlight and was able to get it a little while back for $149 with a special deal that came with a free 5.0 battery. I bet they'll offer some deals like that soon enough.

I'm super excited about the OPE coming next year. What do y'all think are the odds we will see expansion in this lineup (mower, backpack blower, edger, chainsaw, etc)? And if so, what's your guess on when?

I would send it in. Not sure what happens if you open it up, might void warranty. I recently sent in a M18 hackzall and had it back in 10 days. Milwaukee warranty is top notch!

That would be hilarious. Surely they feel pretty safe no one is gonna steal their thunder. I'm a Milwaukee fan, but nonetheless, I'm very curious what it is.

Need... Yes!

I've been wanting to get one of these, but I hesitate buying anything before any potential product announcements. If there's nothing new, then I'll pick one up. I do some irrigation work and the vac will be handy for sucking water out of the hole I dig to repair pvc lines in place of my hand pump.

Yep. I also drive a company vehicle that has a huge vinyl wrap with our company logo, phone number, and website. People definitely call and sometimes it sure feels like someone just trying to get something for nothing. I also remember when I was selling my personal truck and wrote the phone number real big on the windows... I was MUCH more conscientious about my driving.

Still looks like an EU version... Look at the battery.

Maybe we should all be required to put our phone numbers on our vehicles.

Happy "New Product Symposium Eve" my red, nothing-but-heavy-duty, Milwaukee friends.

It's not just for Milwaukee, but AcmeTools.com is doing a 10 days of deals for Father's Day. Today is day 2 and they have the DeWalt toughbox radio for $209

I got an email saying start date of Symposium is June 8 and to follow #NPS16 on instagram and twitter for product announcements as they are made at the symposium.

maybe the date gives a hint... June 21... because they are moving all the way up to 21volt max!!

Looks like ZORO.com extended the 20% off for 2 more days, but bumped to $200 minimum purchase. Still free shipping.

20% off purchase over $150 and free shipping at ZORO.com... TODAY ONLY!!! I'll be picking up the M18 Jobsite Bluetooth Radio and M18 vacuum... Happy Birthday to me!!

I have the M18. Great tool overall. Only 2 gripes: (1) no LED (2) the clear plastic guard actually makes it hard to see so I took it off.

Great news! I just got my Hackzall back from Milwaukee. Only took 10 days to send it in, have it fixed, and sent back. Phenomenal! They replaced a "burnt motor" and "intermittent switch" and looks like they put new body on it. The tool looks brand new (except for the metal shoe). And best of all, it was all covered under warranty and didn't cost me a dime. I couldn't be more pleased; this is why I chose Milwaukee.
