I use mine (m18) to undercut door trim when redoing floors. About the only good use I've found for it.

No, I don't think so. As far as free, the drill came with the bluetooth speaker kit. I got the speaker/drill/2 batteries/charger/bag for $65 at Home Depot. The multitool came free with a kit purchase. Here's a couple pics comparing the two. I have 2.0 batteries in each tool.

A more accurate hack way of doing it in the garage would be to set your torque wrench to 60 lbs or whatever and hang a dumbell from it that is 60 lbs. Let the weight of the dumbbell move the wrench instead of you. Still difficult to get right, but it would be closer than seeing what the breakaway torque is.

Wow, Dewalt's site is a mess. Not listed here: http://www.dewalt.com/tool-categories/20v-max-nailers.aspx But is listed here: http://www.dewalt.com/tool-categories/cordless-nailers.aspx Either way, I'll still have to wait for the HD $150 promo in November or something equivalent to get one of these.

It's $399 (although cheaper with something like a Zoro 30% off), but it's also a framing nailer. These finish nailers should be quite a bit cheaper than a framing nailer.

Even if the bare tools are $100 cheaper, that's still a lot of $$$$$ if those end up being the real prices.

That method won't work. You have to overcome inertia to move the nut, so it will take more than 110 ft-lb to break it loose. You also shouldn't use a torque wrench as a breaker bar, as it were.

The 1/4" ratchet is brand new. I don't like the m12 multitool. No quick-change chuck, it just feels like a toy compared to the M18 or Dewalt 20v. WTH, it was free. So was the 3/8" drill. I don't use it either. I have the Fuel 1/2" if I use a 12 volt drill. The rest are actually used, some pretty heavily!

Ahh sorry I misunderstood your post. Dewalt claims that the rating they use is independent of drill RPM, while torque varies with RPM. At least I believe that's what I read. This was a few weeks ago, and I'm surprised I remember that much. Anyway, yeah, I'm sure I'll end up with all of them, lol.

I did a lot of searching on this subject, and the consensus is that these two terms do not measure the same thing. So a direct comparison just using the numbers is meaningless. I guess I'll just have to get both and compare for myself.

Damn you! Still don't really know how it compares though, since Dewalt uses UWO instead of torque.

That is a smoking deal, even with the $26 shipping charge. I ordered yesterday and today they said they are out of stock . So hopefully they'll get some more in and I can still get that price. I told them to keep the order open and ship when they can. EDIT: Well that was pretty quick. It'll be here Wednesday. Big thanks to 906!

I'm curious how it compares to the 2701.

Thanks! Very possible. + to + and - to - and you're good to go! I used a donor Ryobi battery for the shell and an M18 work light as a donor for the M18 battery socket. You just have to be careful not to run the battery out, because there is no protection against total discharge. Thanks! Thumbs up. What's wrong with the emoticons on this site? Edit, here's the rest of my M12 (besides my heated hoodie and heated jacket):

The whole drive (well almost whole) assembly is different, which includes the anvil. This is why the 3/8 creates more torque.

I can see that argument. However, Milwaukee doesn't make a brushless hackzall in M18, which is why I have the M12 Fuel. I have used both, as my dad only uses M18 and has one, and I just don't like it compared to the Fuel. Even with a 4.0 battery, the motor housing is more compact and the tool is just more enjoyable to use. Milwaukee also makes a ton of M12 tools that they don't make in M12, although I can't think of any that would require a big battery. I don't think of the PVC shear and copper tubing cutter as big battery eaters.

I dunno, pick one They are all awesome. 1) Lantern 2) Fuel impact driver 3) Fuel hackzall 4) Ratchet Jigsaw Copper tubing cutter PVC Shear Heated hoodie Hard to pick just one. Depends on what you need.

That looks more like a retaining ring than a spring. If you've ever taken apart a roto head ratchet, you know what I mean. It is also used on the M12 Fuel hackzall to hold the quick change chuck onto the shaft.

A 2763 with One Key would kick ass. Well, more ass than the 2763 already kicks. I saw a demo of the One Key hammer drill. I had no desire to own one, but once I saw the demo, I'm really excited about it. I should've never doubted Milwaukee.

Could the 1/4" feel stronger because you're wrenching on smaller bolts? I have both, but I have yet to use the 1/4." It is annoying that they are the same size body, but I guess the diameter is set by the battery pack. I often wish that you could swivel the body (or the head, depending on your perspective) so that the trigger isn't smashed again whatever you're trying to loosen. I use the 3/8" a lot, but often need an extension. I generally use an impact to loosen, but I like to use the ratchet to tighten things down since there's almost zero change that it will overtorque the fastener.

The M12 Fuel Hackzall doesn't really run that long on a 4.0 battery. After an hour or two of light demo, it's time to change the battery.
