  1. So I finally got me a Milwaukee one key hammer drill and I have been messing around with it for the last month but for some reason my most recent location is never where my drill is at the time for instance right now it is in my work truck in my driveway. But on the app it says it is 30 miles away on a Main Street I drive to work and it has said that for days now? Is it because I don't have a battery in it so it won't register? Or how does that work 

  2. Hey everyone my battery charger at home has taken a turn for the worst and died recently. I need to get a new one and I honestly I don't know if there's something out that's the cats meow. I'm not to up to date on them so idk what's good and bad. Not looking to spend over $200 and anything under would be great it's gotta be able to jump my vehicles which are all diesels and excavators. Let me know if anyone has any preferences was looking into this one but a little more amps would be nice

  3. I am a huge Milwaukee fan but not saying they are amazing and the absolute best! I would say go with what fits you. If your just using it around the house for little projects here and there then you probly don't need the top of the line tools. Dewalt, Milwaukee, ridgid, makita,etc all has a pretty high price point but there also made for the working man who picks them up everyday. But always look down the road if you see you want more then a sawzall, drill, and impact see what else the manufacture offers like me I am a plumber Milwaukee 12v line up absolutely dominates everyone else's line up for plumbing they have so many things. But hell not everyone is a plumber lol in the end just go with something reliable a great price point and a extra bonus is having a store around that will fix it if it breaks! Good luck

    Nice looking box, @Kale and I see you tape your cans together too, good haha makes life easy.

    I really like that idea of having material/consumables like your glue in the same box as the relevant tools!

    Oh yea I put some more tools in there too it will work out great for my indoor jobs 

  5. Hey everyone been looking at the deals on Home Depot site I went out and bought the rocket light with the starter kit but also as of maybe yesterday I think is when I saw it but they are dropping prices on radios! Here's an example! I mean sounds like a deal to me! I think I'm gonna break down and get this radio with my added military discount it would have to be a deal I can't pass up!

    Has anyone ever been successful on milwaukee's rebates?

    I'm thinking about trying to get the free backpack with purchase of at least 100$ worth hand tools, power tools, etc although its not very clear on what tools qualify I'm thinking about purchasing their 12 Inch. measuring wheel and some of their hand tools hoping it will qualify for some of their rebates.

    hesitant to do so, due to my past accomplices with them... :-\ 

    I mean it says hand tools qualify you should be good on that part only thing a do know is they take there sweet ass time on rebates so it may be awhile before you receive it!

    There's a level in the pic? 

    Maybe now I see it haha.. levels are definitely a weak spot for me it seems I have too many. But I really love the stabila levels have a digital one and I like those more they are obviously more accurate when I run header pipes on septic tank leach fields it always has to be dead level so I used to use a goldblatt 48" level which I absolutely love but when I went back to check how level it was with a laser it was always a little off so now I use a digital stabila and it is perfect every time. I am a huge Milwaukee fan but there new red sticks just seem way over priced

  9. Yea there are good deals floating around but I always find the best on the Milwaukee website I will post a link below. I mean I know most are mail in rebates but free tools are free tools. One of the deals they have is buy $200 in sawzall blades or hole saws, get a free m12 fuel sawzall. Which I have been wanting but my work buys all my blades for me so I am getting a free sawzall outta the deal!

  11. I mean one key is nice and all only thing I see being of value is probly the stop but in my field of work I would never need that as an underground plumber not to many things right on top of each other. But also for the slow trigger ramp up for cutting pvc so you can score it because we all know if you just go full throttle right away it bounces around but I mean with my non one key sawzall I have Linda learned to just start out slow then ramp it up and cut idk I'm sure one key is nice just nothing really for me

  12. Well I know it's a little late but I can say I had an amazing Christmas! The wife definitely spoiled me and of course I got some things for myself ? Waiting on the 18v/12v rapid charge station and I got a free 12v fuel hackzall from work with a promotion they had going on at our local Milwaukee dealer! Gonna get all my tools together for a little Milwaukee tool porn picture here pretty soon!

  13. Man that's strange I guess you just have bad luck outta the 5 years I have used Milwaukee tools outside in the mud,dirt,water,sand and just abused the crap out of them in freezing temps all I have done is had a guy on my jobsite burn up a non fuel drill but he trying to core drill a 4" hole with it lol (new guy) and had a couple batteries go bad but my local dealer always swaps them out with no questions asked

  14. Alright guys so I'm upgrading my battery powered power tool kit in the garage and i am wondering what's your guys opinion on how much it is worth? All tools are in great condition and work perfectly
