  1. I got a great deal on their 24V Hammer Drill and got a free battery along with the two it normally comes with. I have used it quite a bit and I'm very impressed. I got in on the lifetime warranty and now I'm thinking of getting the circular saw. What have other experienced with this brand?
  2. You have to work out which one best suit's your individual needs. The one is a brushless model while the other is not. The brushless version will likely provide longer battery life and gives you slightly more torque which is also to be expected. they are (outside of the name given to them by Milwaukee) designed to offer the same functionality albeit in a slightly different form factor. I own the brushless version and really love it. It has the magnetic bit holder and is comfortable for me so I could handedly recommend that one.
  3. It appears your concern is in regard to the battery since you can't charge a hammer drill. I would venture a guess Milwaukee was referring to the battery having gotten wet (if that's what you sent them) If you sent them the Hammer Drill they no doubt opened it and either found water or evidence of moisture. It would be interesting to hear more about your situation. As it is now it is difficult to understand what the issue is.
  4. None of these are intended to do breakaways or final torques so do you prefer speed or more torque? Not sure what types of brakes you plan on servicing (cars you own) trucks etc. or in shop varied vehicles? This should be the consideration regarding length because only you know your intended use. Good luck and remember you are the best judge of the tool you need based on how you intend to employ it.
  5. Milwaukee clearly made a big investment here with over 70 items and more to follow. I love the way Milwaukee keeps expanding their product lines. I like how many of their attachments are compatible with all three hose sizes.
  6. So the other cordless battery powered nailers have the extended magazine included? Oh wait no they don't even offer an extended mag. The extended 30' mag is $71.00 @ home depot which is a lot less than unavailable! Game, set, & match goes to Milwaukee. $7110
  7. The Milwaukeetool.com website typically has the operator and parts breakdown for every tool on the web page for that tool
  8. Can you add a link to the Amazon product page so others can get them? Thanks
  9. What is your sawzall model they make a half a dozen of them, and that's just Milwaukee. I have the "Super Sawzall" model 2722-20 it's 18.9 inches so it might fit diagonally. Removing the shoe would shorten it some, the model 2821 is 17.1 inches with the shoe remove it and it might fit, just might.
  10. Care to elaborate on the design flaws would love to hear your concerns. I've been looking at getting the two drawer unit myself but want to do it eyes wide open. So far I've heard a lot of good things considering the packout compatability limits of the design.
  11. Well finally some details about the first Mower offered by Milwaukee scheduled to be available in April. Claims of 10ft/lbs of torque (more than a 200cc ICE mower) Highest was 8.3lb/ft (Ego I think) It uses a 7-gauge stamped steel body (Most are 14-17 gauge or plastic!) 180 degree LED lighting with on/off switch. The presence lever recesses into a slot in the handle to reduce fatigue. A full 21 inch blade (Most 21 inch class mowers have 20-20.5 inch blades) It has a large battery charge indicator on the rear facing the operator for easy checks on remaining charge. 10 inch driven rear wheels, 8 inch front wheels all on bearings. (Most do not have bearings on the wheels but bushings) 1 to 4 MPH speed control roller knob and thumb/palm engagement lever (Engagement lever provides for a variable speed up to the max speed you set.) A rear side discharge shoot to keep the width the same whether mulching, bagging or discharging. The motor is set rear of center which offers easier lift and affords a bit more weight on the rear drive wheels. Single point raise and lower from 1 to 4 inches in seven steps. Of course it folds up for easy storage and transport and has a three position handle adjustment. A "high lift" mode increases motor RPM to 3300 RPM for max lift. The kit includes the mower, 2xM18 12ah batteries, a dual simultaneous rapid charger, discharge shoot, and bag. It's being marketed towards lawn care professionals with claims of 60 minutes runtimes able to cut 1/2 acre at an MSRP of $999.00 which for your average homeowner is quite steep. I'm stoked and plan on ordering as soon as it's available what do others think? Milwaukee M18 FUEL Brushless Cordless 21 in. Walk Behind Dual Battery Self-Propelled Mower w/ (2) 12.0Ah Battery and Rapid Charger-2823-22HD - The Home Depot
  12. You are certain to find an opinion for whatever you ask, but I have found that doing my own research, touching and testing the tools when and where available is the best path. So much about a tool is personal, the grip, weight and balance, even trigger response and features (some you might use all the time others you might never need) all play into my decision. One thing is for sure though, every major "Pro" brand has great tools so you really can't go wrong no matter what choice you make. I chose Milwaukee and couldn't be happier, but I also purchased plumbing tools, and some other cordless tools not available by other MFRs. Good luck in your endeavor to find out what works best for you!
  13. Really going to depend on how and where you intend to use it. If it will be in a stationary shop go corded and 10 inch. If you plan on being mobile then cordless is probably a good option, although they still make extension cords! Happy choosing!
  14. Sounds like a good option, look forward to seeing it in person!
