Milwaukee Impact Driver (2656-20) Loose Battery Wobble
olletsocmit replied to olletsocmit's topic in Milwaukee
Wow man, thanks for all the really great info and posts! My new fuel set I got about a month ago now has wobble. It was my first Milwaukee set and I was just worried. My previous Dewalt was like a rock. I am comfortable with my batteries being a little loose now. -
Anyone know if the huskey one I got are any good? They come in like 8 dif sizes like mine. -- Looks like they come in 7", 9", 11", 14", etc and then around that 14"+ range you start to get a ton more options
-
The one I got is only $2 at HD. Just not sure if I sould get a few of them or there is a better method.
-
I got this to hold misc. bits. Not sure if this is the best option thou. How do you guys keep your bits that didn't come in a kit?
-
@MikeyB the 5.0 is actually great on it! It's a little heavy, but the balance is actually perfect! it's almost like this was made for a 5.0 battery. See the picture below I'm able to balance it right in the center on one finger
-
I have a ton of these pins. Rep gives them to me free all ur time. Not sure if everyone else here does as well. If anyone wants them let me know and I'll give to you, just pay for shipping.

For my new Milwaukee M18 jigsaw... Only brand the HD has near me. I wanted the Milwaukee ones or the Ridged ones with the slits in the blades but w/e for $8. I am not sure if I will use this jigsaw much at all. May trade for a circular saw not sure yet.
-
Hahahha yea. The last one I had was a corded craftsman. That was my dads. Was super nice but yea first one with T's hahahha
-
When changing the angle of the base it is kinda hard and not as smooth as I think it should be. Will have to figure that out next... Also when I tilt it to 45 degree it hits the clear shield in front of the blade
-
Does anyone recommend a good rip guide/fence that will work good with the Milwaukee jig saw?
-
So it seems that getting this for $69 was a pretty great deal. Just had to use some loc tite & tighten a bolt and screw under the base plate (see pic below). Seems to be rock solid now.
-
Thanks so much for the info. I could not even find a single pic with this jigsaw using one hahha. But yup, that accounts for the 2 holes and slots. ...this seems to have been a really good deal now haha. $69 for a fully working tool now!!
-
I also noticed two empty threaded holes on the front of the base plate as well as horizontal slots on both sides above the anti-splinter clear shield. I couldn't find any info about this at all, is this for accessories or my missing something.
-
Just picked this up tonight for $69 after tax. It was a display model. The base is a tad loose. Hopefully just need to tighten some thing up. My old one didn't use T shaped blades so need to pick some up tomorrow.
-
Yea I have all 5.0 battery's right now. They seem to be plenty big enough and long lasting for me.
-
Ahh I found him. I will check it out. Link = http://stores.ebay.com/1-great-shop

Edit/Update: After doing some more research & printing the manual it does seem to be right... This is looks weird to me but can someone check. The screw on the left (front screw) has a small silver washer and then a bigger black one that is on top on the end of the bigger bolt on the right.
-
Edit/Update: I seem to have fixed it! Replaced 1 of the 2 screws holding the base on, tightened them (nut first then torx screw w/ washers), & used loc tite on them + tightened all screws on the tool. I was just at HD and saw a display Milwaukee Jigsaw on the clearance rack. normally $129 for tool only. I got it for $60! My question/issue is that the base place seems to be quite loose/wobbly... and the arm that you open and close to adjust the angle on the bottom plate is also super loose. you can open it just by turning to tool to that side. Should I return it and forget it ...or does anyone know how to fix this?
-
I think the 6 and 9's will be great for the bigger lights too
-
Am I the only one that has noticed this? This is the second time I have seen a post about bigger M18 batteries. I thought my 5.0 batteries that came with my fuel set were huge -- Link: http://bit.ly/1OgbLJz

-

I have been spending a few days looking for some 2.0 m18 batteries on eBay for my flashlights.... They all say they are real and genuine, even the ones for $20. But when I really really look, the stickers are all a little dif then real ones. There are even ones "factory sealed" but the sticker is dif... Not sure what to do
