JimboS1ice Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Any shot to break any of it up? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfer (aka Nalu) Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Wow, wish I could buy your tools man. Man those FlexVolt tools look pretty darn sweet. I'm thinking of getting some too, not sure if I'm gonna abandon the Milwaukee ship though. The FlexVolt Table Saw, Circular Saw and Miter Saw have really got my attention. Have fun with your new FlexVolt tools and good luck with selling your Milwaukee stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khariV Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 I think you'll have better luck breaking it up into individual pieces rather than looking for one person with $1500 to spend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboS1ice Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Best shot at the whole lot maybe @Stercorarius who just had his lot of tools nabbed from him, but other than that id be interested in the 9.0 and rapid charger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glass Posted November 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 I can break it up i will take offers i am on long island Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glass Posted November 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Update: I handled the flexvolt sawzall, its solid and powerful, but a little too heavy and massive. Looks like I got to keep a little of both systems. The skil saw was solid but no hook and a little heavy. The grinder felt good. So I will sell the drills, impacts, some chargers, the grinder the 2.0 batteries and 4.0 and 2 5's. I think staying in both systems is prudent at this point. I also heard from a makita rep that some time next year Makita will launch a 2x18 volt 10" scms. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bremon Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 Lol yep between my 20v/M18 and M12 I must have two dozen plus tools. If I could have a mulligan on it all I could be the proud owner of a pile of empty systainers. I'd be so organized, yet get nothing done. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jronman Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 @glass 2x18 volt 10" scms. sliding compound miter saw? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milwaukeenut Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 The flex volt looks badass but couldn't see making the switch with Milwaukee on the rise will all kinds of goodies coming out I wouldn't be surprised if you saw a cordless table saw soon and 12" miter saw.

Jronman Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 According to a guy at work, Milwaukee tools are high quality because they are made in China. Also said DeWALT tools aren't quality because they are made in the United States. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something along those lines. In a way it kinda makes sense. There can be exceptions but in general when I think China I don't think quality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jronman Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 Far as I know they probably just use "global materials". I'm guessing they assemble in China since they are owned by a Chinese company. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing they assemble in China since they are owned by a Chinese company. I don't think factory location really has much to do with ownership. While a Chinese company may be pre-disposed to use Chinese factories, most international companies locate their production facilities in a country for other reasons - mainly cost but also availability of skilled workforce, marketing, tax advantages, etc. For example, SBD is an American company that only recently started moving some of their assembly back to the US, but still uses factories all over the world, including in China to build most of their products. Bosch builds in Europe and in China. Apple builds in China. It boils down to one thing - if a company can make money and employ local workers, then they might decide to, but making a profit is more important that just about all other factors. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bremon Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 Basically all made in China. Not like Dewalt is any better. Paying one person $15 an hour to assemble parts from the bucket that were all made in China doesn't equal a higher quality drill. It equals happy marketing, and one more person in the first world making a living wage but that's about it. That said, I like my Milwaukee tools and my Dewalt tools. It will be a moot point in 10-20 years anyway when all this stuff is automated and the first world will need to adjust to the idea of a guaranteed basic income because there won't be nearly enough jobs to go around, but that's a different can of worms lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
