kornomaniac Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Milwaukee even has a 'high demand ' mini page up. http://highdemand.milwaukeetool.com/ I've already corrected some of Milwaukee's marketing slander from that website =p 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimboS1ice Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Lol very true but you got two batteries in there as well, big fan of the x2 system by Makita probably the better direction for high demand tools as you don't need to buy new batteries Jimbo Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kornomaniac Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Well in all honestly I believe that Metabo's LIHD ( And Bosch's upcoming EneRacer ) are the best battery ideas for the future But just typical Milwaukee Marketing slander I had to dissprove abit 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildroamer Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 I'm glad I switched from Milwaukee, personally. I realize lot's of you have had zero issues, and I actually love their huge line-up of M12 tools. But, that One-Key stuff... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bremon Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 To keep the flames of a friendly rivalry stoked I suggest you yellow bellies check out toolguyd. Benjamen posted his initial thoughts on table saw, miter saw, and reciprocating saw. The latter is interesting in that in his initial hands on the Fuel Sawzall outperformed the FlexVolt reciprocating saw. He also mentioned the table saw and miter saw are great, but who cares, the yellow knockoff sawzall sucks (kidding of course). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried both cordless 20v, a few of the corded ones...they all suck a bag of Wallaby dicks (that's a down under joke, herp a derp). That said, the best reciprocating saw I've ever used is a old school Milwaukee with the twist knob blade change. It's so freaking heavy that it just mows through material with zero effort and can be operated with two fingers while filing your taxes. I drag it out maybe twice a year, but when I do...I level a housing development by accident. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 I was going to say it might have been weight is why the Dewalt recip didn't perform as well but the Dewalt tool is 10 lb's compared to the M18 Fuel 7.4 I don't know how accurate that is web site stats are not accurate at times it might be the wight of the actual package the tool is sold in not the tool and battery. Well Dewalt and CPO's 15% off convinced me to get the 120v Sliding miter saw. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jass Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 I do think that all of the numbers for weight being thrown around are shipping weights, I recall someone posting the difference between this and that when I had bought the tool in question from Amazon and the weight specified matched my shipping weight of the very same tool.

Bremon Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 Stuart over at ToolGuyd posted a 9.0 HD vs FlexVolt comparison and he prefers FlexVolt. I'm inclined to agree that Dewalt's idea is better, but sort of sucks that it leaves some people behind a bit. Also interesting is my favorite supplier has listed combo kits that come with impact, hammer drill, a compact XR batter and a FlexVolt 6.0 for the drill. Seems huge and bulky but maybe pricing will be similar to the kits with 2x 5.0 instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was set to just overlook the One Key part of the equation, but then the drill up and quit working entirely. That was last straw, sent the kit back and went yellow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bremon Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 Well you gave them more than a fair shot wild, they should tighten up their QC and software if they want retention from users, otherwise, Dewalt gets a conquest sale. We shouldn't have to bend over backwards for manufacturers, they should do that for us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
