Very nice. I love it! I might tackle that myself soon. I already have both drills. Any tips or pointers?

That's (kind of) good to hear. Hopefully they will do the same for mine. I dropped mine off at a repair center, so I'm hoping is less likely I get a "normal wear and tear" spiel. My light too is nearly new and obviously barely. In my opinion, that makes it a clear manufacturer defect.

I like this a lot. I wish more companies would make more "jobsite tough" items like this. I prefer buying something once and being done with it. I do hope they come out with a few collapsible models for transportation and storage in your truck/van.

Aren't you supposed to hang this light style from the ceiling?

Are the telescoping collars metal or plastic? I've had issues with the plastic one breaking on the original Rocket light.

The PS22 is fantastic! An excellent example of a tool that knows exactly what it is and what it will be used for.

Milwaukee's ergonomics generally seem very poor. I'm not sure why, but they don't seem to focus on that at all. Their focus seems to be primarily on power (vs performance, which is different) and over-engineered durability. These new drills are a huge step in the right direction, however. The last M12 hammer drill was embarrassingly large. It's head was virtually identical to the M18 model.

I appreciate that too. I also like that it is out from the tool body a bit, rather than right against it.

PM sent.

I'm sorry to hear that. I just hate when stuff is stolen from me. Much more than the items or the cost, I hate the feeling.

I have one in for warranty service now. I wonder if they will replace the collars with metal ones. I hope so!

That's good to see. The plastic ones were junk. They didn't follow the company motto:"NBHD". (For that matter, neither does the 18V box vacuum--definitely the cheapest plastic I've seen on a vacuum.)

I agree this is a great kit. And case is absolute garbage, as stated. You can buy the quick-change arbors separately and they should work with your existing hole saws. They are worth it.

Wouldn’t that apply to any method of cutting? And what professional cuts without first scanning and knowing exactly what’s behind the wall? What is wrong with the term technician? It seems a common nomenclature for LV/datacomm electricians, for whom this tool is primarily designed.

I’ve not tried them on plaster, but I imagine it wouldn’t work well. Likely very slow and may dull the blade. I am exclusively commercial/industrial so plaster is very uncommon. I really wish they would offer an alternative fitment instead of the proprietary DeWalt connection. It works, but I have to turn it sideways on my Bosch OMT. It will not work with some newer OMT models.

These are fantastic! I use them all the time and they paid for themselves within the first week of ownership. There are a few more models now, so you can cut the exact hole needed for your preferred box or ring.

How would this happen?

Unfortunately, the 3-in-1 hoodie is not available separately. It is only available in the kit.

The best M12 lights are definitely the lantern and the Rover lights. The spotlight is also excellent, but has a more specific purpose and isn’t versatile on the job site. The lantern has a USB port, which can be used to charge your phone (or your 2112 light!) from the M12 battery. It can also switch between 180 and 360 lighting. The Rover is fantastic, especially due to its multiple mounting options. It is only bested by the M18 Rover.

The 2112 is fantastic. I don’t really see it as a different platform since you charge it via USB and you definitely already use that “platform.”

I just want an M12 One-Key Surge model.

Also, the build quality is better on the 3-head model. They upgraded the telescoping collars from plastic to metal and several other parts are superior quality. I’ve had to warranty the original model for a broken plastic collar, but I don’t anticipate the new metal ones having any issues.

I have both. They are both fantastic and you will be happy with either. However, the 3-head model is a significant upgrade. 1000 lumens brighter and adds the ability to power via AC extension cord (and also charge battery, if needed). The three heads are useful as they allow you to provide 360 lighting or light up a couple different spots. The footprints are identical, both collapsed for storage and expanded for use.

What are they seriously lacking? I’m an electrician and haven’t really been swayed by any other brand offerings, so I’m curious what I am missing because I see this sentiment expressed often. There are a couple specialty tools I desire (M18 SDS-Max drill, DeWalt cordless cutout saw to name a couple), but you will have that with any brand and it hasn’t made me think about switching. I much prefer Bosch quality, design, and battery performance over what I experience from other brands. I keep all my stuff up to date and regularly check out what other brands have to offer. I do have a few NAINA tools, but only a few. A couple vacuums and a couple 12V specialty tools.

I already have most all of the NAINA Bosch tools. If you have any questions, let me know.
