KnarlyCarl Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 The gen 2 does feel much more comfortable to grip now that I have one. Before with the first generation fuel, I just used it without giving it a second thought but Milwaukee really did their homework with the new onesSent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stercorarius Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 yea I use mine more than I first anticipated it's really my go to tool for lots of mechanical work I have the right angel 3/8 which I like a lot to but I grab for this guy firstGot a lot more work done with it than I expected. Just need a better 3/8 to half adapter or some impact grade 3/8 sockets. Do your sockets fall off your impact or was it just my adapter's fault. Either way this thing is sweet.https://youtu.be/C1u28k-GG7Yhttps://youtu.be/68RW8Ajx3A4I know vertical videos, I'm sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnarlyCarl Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 Nice, stercorarius, yeah landscape is nicer I'll admit, are you able to hold it more steady too? Also where did that name come from? Sounds like name of a dinosaur. The mighty stercorarius roamed the earth about 65million years ago, its diet consisted mainly of aquatic plants and impacts lolSent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as the name goes it's a genus of predatorial birds around Norway and Iceland. I thought they were pretty neat. They are reffered to as "Jaeger" birds and that is my name so I use stercorarius as my username on websites. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put one of my regular non-pittsburgh adapters on and it holds just as nice as the DeWalt. Ordered two sets (sae and mm) of 3/8 drive sunex Cr-M sockets with my tax refund to get rid of the adaptor and Pittsburgh factor entirely. Pics to come Wednesday on those. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pics to come Wednesday on those.I have the two 3/8 sunex sets too. They don't skip sizes and they cover a wide variety of sizes. I think that they went from 5/16 to an inch and 8 to 24mm. If I remember right I gave about $90 each. Mine have both the shallow and deep sizes too. They fit very tight too. Let us know how you like them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let us know how you like them.Yeah I was torn between them and the tektons for a few less bucks but I couldn't justify Cr-V over Cr-M. I'll put these sunex sockets through the rounds and see how they are and if its worth upgrading my 1/2 drive collection to them too. The cases will be nicer than my current system.

I don't have a picture of them or I would show you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimboS1ice Posted February 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Picked up a Black and Decker Mouse sander... Wanted something for corners other than my OMT... Came with some adapters but I'll save that for a video... For 20 bucks it's not overly terrible.JimboSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kruton Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Just got these two today. Thought the small saw would be a handy size. The 2' level was just because I got tired of trying to make the 4' level work for things it couldn't do...and because why not buy more tools!Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
