olletsocmit Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 Let me start out by saying I usually don't worry about things like this, but after I saw this on a few other forums with people saying the same thing I just wanted to ask. My Milwaukee fuel drill and driver set is about a month old. My tools only get used around my house I am not a contract or anything. Is the fit and finish of these tools quite honestly not good because I have literally babied this set for the past month and this drill looks horrible already. It looks like it's been dropped a few times and run hard against the concrete. It's very hard to get pictures of it but maybe these help I'm not sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimboS1ice Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 Yea mine has gotten banged up a little here and there just by sitting in the tool bag, doesn't bother me though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olletsocmit Posted May 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 OK I just wanted to make sure. pretty disappointing with the fit and finish of these...but some Bad ass tools thou. Don't think I will get anything but Milwaukee unless something else comes out that's pretty crazy in the next few years. For a homeowner fuel is def enough for me. Pretty crazy that a brand-new drill doesn't even have the locking washers lined up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnarlyCarl Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 I literally have never looked this closely at my tools like this, the only exception would be my Milwaukee cheater wrench which have big enough abnormalities in the casting for me to notice at a normal glance. Do you have other tools of similar build you could compare this to? These are mass produced and unfortunately not made the same as those of days gone by, and if you want a perfect looking tool, you're definitely paying out the nose for them.

JimboS1ice Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 My dewalt tools do the same thing, but I use them as well, my intentions aren't to keep them in a glass box on display so a scuff here or there or some chipping doesn't bother me.

Bremon Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 Looks like a standard power tool after some use. If you think the ABS or collar would be more durable based on color, you'd be wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryNY Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 Those rubber bumpers on the side are as much to protect your work pieces as the tool. They bump against everything and even take some abrasions from getting put in and out of your tool bag. They are soft for this purpose and are going to wear out. You should see the rubber overmould on my hackzall after some heavy abuse ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildroamer Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 Well, the fit-and-finish may not be first-rate, but at least the One Key sucks ass! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
