It's ok I too like to keep my tools looking good! How you get them free?
But seriously, you selling any of those items you just listed?

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.
I like the usefulness that comes with a multi tool, and I've been glad to have my m12 one on many occasions. I don't know what one might use it for mainly, I use it for making discreet holes in drywall doing plumbing, or cutting pipes in tight spaces. I looked at dewalts with the quick change setup and thought how easily that would get in the way of spaces I've had to cut in. Actually didn't think of checking the m18 out, how much bigger than the m12 is it?

Here's a couple pics comparing the two. I have 2.0 batteries in each tool.

I had thought that tightening to a specified ft lbs then loosening that same nut would be a different amount of torque but don't know of a more accurate way.
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.

The Dewalt 20v nailer is around $299
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.

I wish you would have told me sooner. I already bought a set of torque sticks to use with my 2763.
I used the 2763 & a 110 lb torque stick to adjust my HF click torque wrench. I thought using a torque stick to tighten a nut then adjusting my HF torque wrench to break the nut loose at the same pound setting would make the HF torque wrench fairly accurate. Now I'm going to have to break out the air impact and use it with the torque extension to see if it is at the same poundage.
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.

They don't look used at all, got to make them look like you actually use them

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!
-
No they don't mean the same thing and dewalt is ambiguous on their drill torque ratings in terms of pounds of torque, I found the torque rating someone did on their flagship hammer and it was around the 700 mark, not sure why dewalt does this, if it's less than Milwaukee it's less than Milwaukee no need to be shady about it I still bought the drill lol.

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'm sure if you google it someone did the math, the 650 uwo on the dcd 995 equals like 708 lbs per inch or something near there

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.
-
They have a newer version of the 790, the 791 with 30% more power.

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

The drill/impact combo with the hammerless drill driver is $350.
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk
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!

Right now after everything I got I still like the dcd 790 the best, it's small, powerful for its size and a great drill, now I haven't got my hands on the gen 2 yet...

I'm curious how it compares to the 2701.

Nice set of tools dude

Call me crazy but it looks like a Milwaukee battery on a ryobi nailer? I know they are owned by the same parent company but is that possible?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk
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.
Rocket nice set up there man!
Thanks!
A couple of u got it right. Your tool collection isn't real unless u have pictures.
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):

I would guess that both the 3/8 & 1/4 are the exactly the same except for the drive. Glasseyi probably just has a 1/4 that was assembled better than the 3/8. I would follow Jimbo's advice and get the 3/8 and use a reducer for 1/4 stuff. Myself I use the M12 3/8 all the time but when it comes to 1/4 stuff I usually just grab a regular 1/4 ratchet with a extension, loosen all with the ratchet real quick then spin the nuts/bolts off with the extension & socket like a screwdriver.
The whole drive (well almost whole) assembly is different, which includes the anvil. This is why the 3/8 creates more torque.
-
But isn't they meant to be as compact and light has humanly possible. That is at least what I would use them for.
The 18/36V equipment would be the power and runtime stuff.
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.

If they can build 6ah packs in 18V, there's no reason they can't do the same with 10.8V (M12), its just 6 cells instead of 10. I do question why people are using 10.8V tools though, if they need 6ah of juice for it. I'm sure there will be a few good reasons though....
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.
. 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.

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