  5. Milwaukee bit cases?

    in Milwaukee

    Posted

    Looks like the hang magnets for multimeters, but hopefully a reasonable price.

     

     

    I think I'm gonna try gluing magnets to the inside of my bit cases, north on the top and south on the bottom so they not only stick to stuff but stack with each other.


    Very similar magnet. Good idea on gluing magnets inside! I may have to do that as well. The threaded magnet is a good idea, but at $20 for the magnet it's hard to justify, even on the stick light. I feel like that was a miss for Milwaukee.

    Not certain that it is working yet as there have been no new comments posted in the last three days on the four newest posts. Looking at the post about the Milwaukee speaker and all of it's comments, one would think that there would be at least a few in the others above it.


    I haven't had time to go to the homepage, but my comment is not visible! It did say awaiting moderation, but I never bothered to check on it till now. This was on 12/28

    I believe Milwaukee sells an accessory magnet that has a 1/4-20 thread. It was intended for their m12 stick light, and it works on this case. I think Daniel is also correct about the belt clip

    I like that tool it looks like it would work well

    I've had this for a while as well. Works great if you want to keep a light service pouch. I generally would use it with my 3.5" nut drivers, and torx bits in my small service pouch.

    Hell yeah brother! The crew here has been awesome and welcoming to me too. Sorry for the loss of your father, and other family members. It's never easy. But the bastards here make life a little more bearable sometimes. Just remember "when life gives you lemons, say fuck the lemons. And bail." -Kunu

    True but you get a fair amount of use out of them. Still less expensive than the Klein electrical tools.

    Agreed the Klein 2 piece set of 1/4 standard, and #2 Phillips retails for $40. The 9 piece retails for $270

    I remember seeing one not long ago and almost bought it, but I thought to myself..."conductor would give me shit if he saw this in the new tool thread" [emoji23]

    I haven't had a lot of bad experiences with hand tools because I A: VERY seldom buy cheap, B: Have conditioned my family to never buy me tools unless the verify it meets my approval, and C: avoid anything Sears offers within 3 months of a gift giving holiday. Even so, there have been a few slip through the cracks over the years.

     

    1. Every pair of auto adjusting pliers I have ever tried without exception. Craftsman Robogrip comes to mind.

     

    2. HF 2 lb. sledgehammer. Broke on the 3rd swing driving 24" rebar stakes

     

    3. GatorGrip socket. Worked great for wing nuts. Not worth a damn for anything else.

     

    4. I too had a terrible experience with the speedout extractors.

     

    5. HF locking pliers. Bought 4 pair to use as welding clamps and within 3 months they were all in the trash

     

    6. Had a set of Indian made Gedore DBE wrenches when I was a kid. Dad dug them out of the trash at work. Thought they would be good for me and the neighborhood kids to tinker with our bikes back in the BMX days. Kept us from messing with his. Turns out they were better off in the trash. When a wrench fails to meet the working demands of a 13 year old kid maintaining a Red Line bicycle, it's gotta be pretty shitty. I think there is one wrench left from the set somewhere at dad's.

     

     

     

     


    Is the gator grip socket that thing with the pins that slide back, so it's a "multi size" deal?

    +1 on speedouts, but you guys have already heard the details of my hatred.

     

    HF ratchets are complete garbage.  One would lock up and you have to switch it back and forth to reverse and wiggle a bit to keep ratcheting.  Eventually the detent fell out.

    This has just about the worst blade retention.  Wobbles everywhere and falls out if you get it dusty from the drywall it's supposed to be used on.  Your forearm will also learn why a nice pull saw costs about 50x that sawzall.  One of these might change my mind though:

    I've never used my folding hand saw on drywall. Just on weird pvc cutting applications. Btw that stainless blade is pretty interesting. Don't think I'd ever try one though
