dwain Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 Hey all, Got a bunch of Milwaukee reviews, still to come the Heavy Duty Impact Driver (7/16"), M12 FUEL Rotary Hammer and FUEL Grinder (plus a comparison with the BL 18V Makita) Tumblr write-up: http://oz-tool-talk.tumblr.com/ Reviewing rotary hammer drills isn’t my favourite job, because it usually means drilling lots of holes into concrete (though it’s more fun than comparing grinder discs!). Concrete strikes me as the type of material that wasn’t made for drilling, and doesn’t want to be drilled. Nonetheless, review it we did, and it wasn’t too painful, because this tool eats concrete quicker than Mike eats smarties. This FUEL 26mm unit (and its 28mm big brother) are really taking another step towards eliminating the gap between cordless and electric tools. In fact in some tests, this tool reportedly beats very good electric models. Specs are as follows:26mm concrete drilling capacity2.4J blow energy at 4,900 BPM1,400 RPM3.5kgs with large batteryAnti-vibration systemIt’s about $350 as a bare tool, which is actually not bad when you consider the price point of it’s ‘competition’ in cordless and corded models. Milwaukee have a ripper tool here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

regopit Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 I have the Milwaukee 2605-22 7/8" I guess that is close to 26mm. I have had for about a year now and that thing is a work horse. Great tool and another great review Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwain Posted November 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 thanks regopit. Milwaukee now have FOUR M18 rotary hammer drills! 16mm, 22mm, 26mm, and 28mm (the bigger two being the new FUELs). Or 5/8", 7/8", 1" and 1-1/8" in the US. They certainly have everyone covered!
