Kind of a different animal there though.
I like different!
But speaking of Milwaukee tools, my hole hawg is acting up..... Uh oh.... Trigger has a dead spot.... But it's a painless warranty process like I've said before

Careful with those double ended bits, as they wear they get stuck easily in your impact collet.
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkGood info to know!!! On what impact are you experiencing this? Any other double ended bits you prefer?

A controlled environment is the worst at giving me a real world test and feel. That's what the tool is made for after all, real world use!! Like with Rob and the crew, give me input from their actual use on a job site as they were designed and forego the mock trials. I still think it's entertaining but it never convinces me one way or another which tool to purchase if I were in the market.
That was a great way to put it Dwain, I do love hearing comparisons and features and the latest and greatest. I know you guys like your run time tests (or maybe not!!!) and maybe others do too. The thing I observed was a concentration into using the tool to drill, cut, grind, etc.... Whereas real world use doesn't give you 100% concentration on that tool, leading to different experiences with whoever is using it. And I love getting that input. Candid, spontaneous, solid info
I don't know what Joe observed between the DeWalt and the Makita saws, nor do we know the exact circumstances of the two on Facebook. And yes, their views are just that based on their uses. Maybe we could get a better picture if we knew lumber type, moisture content, how many cuts were beveled, etc etc we could go on all day. I like the input of The end users of these items and make my decision based on that sometimes, but we don't regularly have input from these heavy users.
Honestly I would love to see Dan and Eric ramp up their involvement into the fields that these tools are made for and get true unbiased input from them. It's cool they bring us the info, but I think they could do something unique by getting out there and allowing the pros to use them more. Like they do with Pat at the body shop etc... (Dwain and Mike, can you do a Oz version perhaps!!???)
Although it's just the tool nuts that care as much as we do anyways lol...
Although, I do have it easy when it comes to cordless tools. Who makes a cordless PVC shears and a PEX expander tool and a copper tubing cutter and a palm nailer and a lot of the tools for my trade? Easy decision there.....

Does the compact recip saw require two hands to operate properly like a full size? I know I love the hackzalls for the one handed use. Like in that pic, if I had to hold onto the saw with both hands to get good leverage, bye bye Makita, I'll take the hackzall instead thank you very much. That's the work I do for a living and that pic is just turning me off ....
Just keeping it real

Definitely a fan of real world testing. You guys are getting all technical and attempting in depth analysis and blah blah but these tools were meant for working and doing a task. The only true reality is putting them to the actual task they were made for, and the variable will always be the end user. Which is why I'll always take input from people like framer Joe over the garage guys that have controlled environments which is a joke. Tool box buzz puts all this time and energy into setting up their pretty little cut stations for the recip saw comparison and circ saw testing.... It's fun, but useless. Give me your real world application testing. The tests are cute and entertaining, but I take them mostly with a grain of salt.... So many variables out there, enough of the numbers and paper figures, get out and put them to use!

Wouldn't it be simpler on inventory if they stocked bare tools and if you wanted it as a kit you picked up a battery and charger kit? They offer starter kits sometimes , but this would be different, and be worth it financially. The only other thing that would be an issue is the tool storage it would have to be a tool bag over a blow molded case.
That's why Ryobi does this exact thing

I was made an offer I couldn't refuse...
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkNice one! I use those open totes more than I thought I would, especially loose fittings and stack on top of the rolling cart going in and out of our shop

Uhoh that's not good. YOu get anywhere with this? Just checked Milwaukee website, but it doesn't show exploded view of the internals of the gear box, i'm sure you've already found that out

5 if you count the impact wrench
On 9/11/2017 at 9:44 PM, dwain said:4? Impact, drill, hawg and super-hawg?
Only counting drills.
The super hawg Keyed chuck, the super hawg QuikLok. The Hole Hawg keyed chuck, the hole Hawg QuickLok. And the M18 right angle drill...
5 total in this case
@Jronman would technically be correct with your first sentance...

Linda exactly like flexvolt but then in 'normal' size battery with a Max of 36v.
Anyone have an idea of the flexvolt idea is patented in us/EU ?
This would be interesting to know more on

The money issues haven't gotten better they are worse at the moment right now. If someone could please make and offer on the Multitool and Drill it would be greatly appreciated the water heater is leaking at the house and family issues have made money an issue as of late.
Check your IG, sorry for your bad luck man! Only thing I can help with is getting the word out on my page, I sent you a message there... Real bummer tho

Sedge is my favorite lol
TOO BAD THEY COULDN'T MAKE THAT LIGHT CORDLESS EH?? I think they really could have had something there... But maybe I'm just caught up in the cordless mindset and people might LIKE it with a cord!!
Also, i'm kicking myself for not going because it's literally 2.5 hours away from me!!! UGHH I should have paid more attention to these things...
They have their dust collection on their cordless sanders on lockDOWN!!!
