jayjr1105 Posted June 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 Wow what a great tool the m12 fuel is. The #1 and #2 torque setting is worth every penny! I was having some buyers remorse seeing all the drill driver combos for $130 and wondering if I should have just went that route not being a professional and all. Super glad I got the fuel. The low power setting was perfect for the screw terminals on electrical receptacles, plus screwing them into the box. I think I will sell my nicad dewalt drill and replace with an m12 soon too. Maybe the hackzall next. ☺ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayjr1105 Posted June 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Do you guys think I could replace my Dewalt 18v NiCad drill and a Dewalt Hammer Drill (A/C) with this?... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BYFNDTU/ref=s9_simh_gw_p469_d0_i1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=desktop-1&pf_rd_r=1F61DD2V2Y47DS7A7YV1&pf_rd_t=36701&pf_rd_p=2105317182&pf_rd_i=desktop I might as well start thinking about converting all my tools to m12. I have a brick house and an A/C hammer drill might be worth keeping. Side question... Is there a buy-sell-trade marketplace for tools on this forum?

DR99 Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Yea, the M12 fuel hammer drill should handle anything you throw at it. We do have a buy sell trade area but you have to have a certain number of posts before you can see/use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayjr1105 Posted June 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 This is my current hammer drill... http://www.homedepot.com/p/DEWALT-1-2-in-VSR-Hammer-Drill-DW511/100037000?N=5yc1vZc2c6Z4j2 I can't imagine the M12 getting anywhere close to that power.

Is there a buy-sell-trade marketplace for tools on this forum?If you are drilling small holes for anchors/ tap cons, yes it does surprising well. I have a brick house built in the 50's. I always reach for the M12 fuel when hanging pictures etc. It does great drilling into plaster. I opted for an M18 fuel sds rotary hammer and the 2404 for lighter stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are doing much drilling in masonry you really should try out a sds rotary hammer. They are awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayjr1105 Posted June 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 I've got the 2404 on my radar as well. What do you guys think I could get for my 2 year old Dewalt Kit (see below). This is it I think http://www.lowes.com/pd_185475-70-DC970K-2_0__?productId=3108421But mine has a hard case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjbutler1 Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 i like the bostitch impact and drill combo. The only down fall is you cant build on the battery platform which is why i am shopping a new platform. make sure you pick something that you can build on in the future if you want.

Jack Tibbetts Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 The Milwaukee M12 fuel is a sweet little impact driver. It's what I use all the time because it is so light weight.Agreed if you're not doing wild home building I'd get the m12 probably my favorite and go to impact right now even as semi professional. It's also a huge line so if you want expand later down the road you have tons of options.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bothuhead19 Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Good decision, you can't go wrong with FUEL. That driver is great at drilling as well. You made a good decision going with the M12 lineup, it's the only 12v lineup in my opinion that's worthy to be called a "lineup". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bremon Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 I'll have to agree with that, now that it has a saw it is a well rounded line, and the only one in my opinion that doesn't feel like sort of an afterthought to the 18v. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
