chadlanthier Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 The other day my wife walked into my shop, and she almost fell over. She be like, what the hell do u need all theses tools for, and there has to be at least $3000 in tools in here. I just nodded and agreed with the cost and said I've used them all at one point or another.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nalu Rash Posted June 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 I like everything on your list except the impact driver. The 1/4 driver will not have hardly any torque, and sockets for it usually top out at 1/2 inch I believe. I would go with at least a 3/8 drive impact if not a 1/2 drive. 1/4 is ok for small stuff though, like the smaller 1/4 bolts you see on mowers and such.Speaking of mowers, one of the reasons why I went for the 2604 is because my 10yo mower thought it would be a good idea to self destruct the recoil mechanism. So I cut the recoil mechanism off the mower with a cutting disk, using my Milwaukee of course And I fashioned a home made adapter to put a 15/16 socket on the end, now I got electric start, and my 2604 will be the starter lol.I have seen 18v cordless drills barely start a 12HP engine on youtube, so a 6.5HP push mower engine should be no problem for it. Thanks for the advice ProToolNut! And congrats on your new 2604! I should be getting paid soon, hopefully tomorrow, so definitely check back here for pictures later on. I'm gonna go check your thread now to oooooo and ahhhhhhh over your new drill, lol. Take care 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just finished filling pretty much the same list. I got the 2603 instead of the 2604. I figured I didn't need the hammer drill with the sds drill. I got the 2654 instead of the 2653. I have the M12 fuel impact driver and haven't seen a time I needed more torque with 1/4" bits. The only place I would see to use more torque is with sockets so I just got the 3/8". It also has more torque. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wallet is just saying to wait since I already have the 2731.Let us know how you like them. Thanks. I'm probably gonna pick up the 2731 next month. They don't carry it here in Hawaii, so I will have to special order it. I picked up the 2530 so I could get put myself on the M12 and M18 platforms. Haven't used any of the tools yet though, lol. I'll let you all know I how I like them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Let us know what you think about the M12 Fuel saw. I'm curious to see how that performs compared to a traditional 18v tool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'll slap together a workbench or a saw horse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nalu Rash Posted June 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Wow...the 2530 is amazing. I just cut up some scrap 3/4 Birch Ply and it went through it like butter. I can't wait to really put it through it's paces 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nalu Rash Posted June 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 The only thing I can think of to kick it up a knotch would to actually saw through knotches in a piece of 2 by 4 or 4 by 4. Now that would be awesome to see, that Milwaukee power, and that 4.0 battery kicking ass in the summer time, and no matter what you do, it just won't die HAHA!
