Joe M Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Milwaukee does it right. They tend to offer less expensive kits with lets say 1 battery on more specialized tools for a cheaper price. Then they offer kits with compacts for the middle price, and then their top tier pricing has the XC batteries. Not to mention the bare tools options. I know a lot of companies offer simliar options, but it seems like Milwaukee does the best job of running the gambit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FerTheHandyman Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 I f you use them for a living all battery tools need to have at least 2 batteries I agree the mini recip I bought from Milwaukee only came with one so I had to buy two more for like $60.

You have a better chance of having a cost effective option for the impact the new tool will have on your battery situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyandy Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 I second that, its super nice to be able to buy just the bare tool itself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BababooeyHTJ Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 I don't like tools that come with only one battery.Yeah, I was kind of surprised when I first noticed just how many kits come with just one battery. Its kind of disappointing. On topic, I would love to try this Fuel SDS. My boss has the original one. I laughed when I first saw it and was very skeptical. For drilling for anchors it works great. I actually used it instead of the corded drill a couple of days ago since it was just so convenient. It blows a small hole pretty quickly.

When you consider most holes drilled in masonry are 1/4" or smaller its kinda surprising we didn't see a small SDS sooner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
