  1. I just got a Milwaukee 2706 one key hammer drill and the first time I used it was to do a 1/2" hole in concrete. After one hole my bit is stuck. I tried everything short of a pipe wrench and I can't get it loose. I hand tightened it like normal and it's a round shaft Bosch bit. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

  3. I went there today for a multi tool blade and ended up with 2 36" clamps, 3 pairs of gloves and a free dmm Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
  4. He should check out www.milwaukeetool.com, they have what he needs! Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

  6. I can see both sides to it and I am sure the tech is already out there. My buddy uses an automotive battery, inverter and a solar charger when he camps and that system has ran a microwave so it would run most tools. I am sure something like that will be out sooner or later, but I see more of a shift to make higher powered tools cordless with the new battery tech they have coming out.
  7. One man's trash is another man's treasure... haha. I live near the head quarters for Kikoauctions.com and we have tons of local auctions and their weekly auction barn. You find some great buys and some junk for sure. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
  8. Creating a power cell to run any corded tool would be shooting themselves in the foot. The goal of new products is to sell you their line and as many new tools as possible, a power cell would grant you the power to use old tools or other brands. I planned to make a Lipo powered cell or get a 120vac to 18vdc power supply a few years ago with a 10' cord going to an old battery pack so I could use my old cordless tools for extended periods of time. While searching I noticed that Dewalt used to make a converter that allowed you to use their 18v cordless tools with 120 vac, but they discontinued it. That is a great idea for a homeowner that is usually not without power nearby, but it probably decreased sales for batteries and corded tools some so they got rid of it. I had eventually bought corded tools to use for extended projects so I gave up on my power cell. Now that I switched to Milwaukee I wouldn't need it anyway.
  9. I am starting to think auctions are only popular in my area, but if you have an auction house close by check there first. I go to a weekly auction that gets older systems in frequently that sell super cheap. If you are cool with the line in vs bluetooth that is the way to go. I see decent sets go for under $25 occasionally.
  10. Great video, I would like to pick up the high torq impact someday. I don't work on cars very often these days or I would already have one. I use 5/16 and 1/4 x 3" or 3.5" lags mainly and my M12 fuel or M18 brushed will both drive them without much issue. I never saw a point in the 3/8 impact since they are not much stronger than the 1/4" driver, at least for my needs.
  11. Auction...$55 6' double step Both 4' for $30 Milwaukee hammer drill plus the mystery tote containing a new Irwin 10" blade and other misc items... $15 for all Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
  12. I am team red on this one. My M12 Fuel set is outstanding and my go to tools. My m12 drill is small enough for me. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
  13. What do you need the 90 for? I had a cheap one years ago that had a keyed chuck for drilling in tight spots and it worked ok. I liked the chuck because I could use any bit. If you have the 1/4" shank on the bits you need to use then I would assume either the Milwaukee or Dewalt will both be a quality product. Me personally, I would get the Milwaukee to match your tools.

  15. I never timed my M18 charger with my 5.0 ah battery, but I don't think its 32 min!
  16. Yeah, I agree that time is money. I bought 2 umbrellas at Ollie's discount store for both of my tables that match and I doubt I will be able to find another one, that is why I am trying to save the pole. As for the 2x8, I can finally stain the top so I don't want to have to replace the board and wait months for it to take stain to match. If I can't get it out easily, I will just leave it for this year and cut it off in the fall.
  17. Congratulations Chris!
  18. Like Jimbo said, I have both lines and I see the benefits to each for each specific tool. My total line up consists of M18 brushed hammer drill, impact, blower, Fuel Sawzall and One Key Fuel hammer drill. M12 Fuel hammer drill, impact and circular saw plus M12 brushed Hackzall, right angle drill/driver and the brushed drill and impact I am giving my dad. I love the M12 brushed Hackzall for its size, but for bigger jobs (and because of the crazy deal I got) I bought the M18 Fuel Sawzall. You will be happy with either line and if you start out with the M18 set the charger will also charge M12 batteries so you can take advantage of the bare tool with a free 4.0 battery they have now. Something to keep in mind...
  19. I have the M12 brushed drill and impact, M18 brushed hammerdrill and impact and the M12 Fuel hammerdrill, impact and circular saw. I will say the M12 Fuel will impress you and for deck screws, small lags, and any homeowner jobs the m12 fuel impact is my go to tool. For drilling 99% of the holes I have needed to drill the m12 fuel drill has been excellent. The only hole I grabbed my M18 for was the 1 1/4" auger. The m12 ran it but the M18 was faster. As for the circular saw, it eats right through 2x's and smaller. It is not common for a homeowner to need to cut deeper than 1 5/8" anyway. If you need to cut deeper buy a cheap corded saw as a backup. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
  20. I was trying not to ruin the umbrella pole. I will try to lube it up and hit it with my sledge first. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
  21. The umbrella shaft is wood, not metal. I only had a 1.5" spade bit when I made the table and it fit with some play so I didn't think I needed to sand it any more. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
  22. Yeah I couldn't pass it up! I may sell the drill, I don't really have a need for it at the moment. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
  23. Amazing deal on these. Fuel sawzall and one key hammer drill. My uncle only wanted the one key impact so I talked him into getting the kit with the free sawzall and I paid the difference! Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
  24. I can't rotate it at all. I tried in the middle of winter thinking the cold would help, but nothing. I may lay the table on its side and try to hammer it out. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
  25. When I made my picnic table I used new pt 2x8s for the top. I drilled the hole for my umbrella and as the wood dried it seized the shaft into the top. Any ideas how to remove it without ruining the shaft or the table? I tried wd40 last year with no help. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
