Kato Posted January 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 The waiting really isn't the hardest part, it's the knowing you're going to have to wait...that's what kills me. I hate ordering stuff online, I want to go to the store and get it. Ordering just starts the whole "Well crap, now I'm gonna have to wait" process".

Javier Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 Comes with contractor bag too! you like rubbing it in, just kidding.Hey atleast it comes with a tool bag. I love those Milwaukee bags. I hope it's an actual bag and not those zippered rectangle pouches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 No Javier, it's a heavy duty, compact bag with the heavy duty zipper. Small but it'll so the job. I'm going to put it with my other M12 tools in a Bosch lboxx though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it's an actual bag and not those zippered rectangle pouchesYea the pouches kind of blow I have may too many M12 chargers though!! Think Milwaukee will ever have a trade in program? Seriously they are never used that's why I like the idea of bare tools but deals like that with kits that are cheaper than the bare tool what are you supposed to do? I use my m12/m18 combo charger for the most part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to put it with my other M12 tools in a Bosch lboxx though. I really like the bag that came with my m12 multi tool so i hope it's as big or bigger than that one. I don't think it can fit in the multitool bag. Yea the pouches kind of blow I have may too many M12 chargers though!! Think Milwaukee will ever have a trade in program? Seriously they are never used that's why I like the idea of bare tools but deals like that with kits that are cheaper than the bare tool what are you supposed to do?

Kato Posted January 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 Planer = Wow!! Of course when stuff is brand new it works great. Got the planer today, took it out of the box, looked at the manual (that's "looked at the manual", not "read the manual"...), put the lowering handle on, plugged it in, grabbed a piece of scrap. Turn planer on, put wood in, planer grabs wood, brain says "yummy, me like, me like!!". Feeds faster than I thought it would, but damn does it work great!! Noisy but not bad, makes a lot of wood chips even with the shop vac attached but where's the fun in using a planer if you can't make a mess. It's heavier than I thought it'd be too, but that's not an issue for me. Time to figure out a table, if I make one. It actually works great sitting on the rolling table I have, since there's dense foam on the table the planer doesn't move, and I have a piece of wood with rubber feet that holds the table from rolling. I might just make a couple of platforms to clamp to the table, and go that route. I have plenty of room to put the planer somewhere when it's not in use, so making a table might not happen. Might decide to just go with what I have...but then again, I haven't been known to leave things alone, otherwise the garage wouldn't keep going through transformations every day. Boy, does it make ugly wood look pretty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToolFreak Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 I have the Air Strike Nailer and you can't go wrong with it, I use it for replacing baseboards and door trims and it works great, it has great power, it really sinks in the nails flush. Only thing it comes as a bare tool only no battery included, but if you already have 18+ batteries then your set. I work as a maintenance tech in a apartment complex and it's great not having to carry a compressor to an apartment for replacing just a few feet of baseboard. I also have their TEK4 Infrared Thermometer and it also works great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 I think the TEK4 line is pretty much done though. It's not stocked in stores anymore. It was a cool concept for diagnostic tools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToolFreak Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Home Depot carries them, I just got the Infrared Thermometer a few weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Really the Tek4 display at my Home Depot is gone. It's now full of Makita LTX tools. I wish retailers were more consistent on what they carry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToolFreak Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Yeah the home depot I go to carries the Infrared Thermometer, the Screwdriver, the LED High Intensity Flashlight, the Utility Light, the Digital Inspection Scope, the 5w Flashlight and the Headphone.

Javier Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 I just hate dealing with the Craigslist Idiots and low ballers that's all.I have a love / hate relationship with craigslist, I love using the site and hate dealing with the people. You are absolutely right, they are morons and want everything for nothing. I could rant all day long about my negative experiences with them but lately what pisses me off the most is when they ask me how much I'm asking for something when the price is right there in several locations. And lately tards will be calling me asking me for stuff I didn't even list, like last week some moron called asking about a honda accord for sale. As bad as it is, there's still a few normal people that do follow through and atleast craigslist is free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Yea I got the people that love to ask whats your price in a text or email. Another really annoying deal is all of the scam messages you get that just restate you ad wtf is that crap!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regopit Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Planer = Wow!! Noisy but not bad, makes a lot of wood chips even with the shop vac attached but where's the fun in using a planer if you can't make a mess. This is not a bad planer but I think if I used mine more then I do I would go for one that has two blades. As for using a shop vac unless you have a large vac they fill up fast.
