    The Milwaukee addiction thread! :)

    I need to do some right angle drilling since it is just a bit too near to a corner (0.75" which is just slightly smaller than the radius of my M12 fuel surge driver). Nothing too heavy duty. I am in the M12 system.] Milwaukee makes 3 as far as I can tell. 2415 - right angle drill 2457 - right...

    Tools of Japan

    Hmm too many choices. I wish I could just buy a sampler of Ph #2s to try out and then buy a set.

    Tools of Japan

    I bought those Felo Ergonics. I do not like them at all. They are too mushy. They aren't full tang. The smaller tips have smaller handles - why? Do my hands magically shrink? I could go on... I bought a Vessel Impacta #2 and it is fine. Nice heft since it is a striking cap, well finished. I'll...

    Tools of Japan

    Anyone able to comment on Nepros vs Vessel handles? I have large hands and I bought a Vessel Impact and a Tekton and the Tekton trilobe just fits my hand better. But those Nepros screwdrivers are gorgeous. So I am thinking about buying a PH2 in both Nepros and PB Swiss to try them out for a bit...

    Soft grip screwdrivers

    OK - I figured out what I really dislike about the Felos - why the hell would the handle get smaller as the tip gets smaller? My hands don't shrink... I am eyeing the Vessel Megadora Tang Thru set. But then I just start thinking - well, that is pretty close to PB Swiss pricing, and that gets...

    Soft grip screwdrivers

    I bought the Felo Ergonics - they are soft, but I think they just don't feel balanced - maybe because they aren't full tang? May try some Tektons, the one driver I have I like the feel of. Or just go crazy on PB Swiss or Nepros.

    Port Austin levels?

    Was curious how they stack up vs a Stabila or whatever.

    Milwaukee Power Tools Deal Permathread

    I have PowerExtras and they are indistinguishable from the Milwaukee ones for power. I still need to take one apart to try and create an AC power adapter at some point. Just haven't gotten around to it. So, I think I want to up my levelling game. Any deals ever on: * M12 3632-21 3 plane laser...

    Soft grip screwdrivers

    I would love to hear your opinion on the Megadora when you have a chance to use them. The Vessels seem to punch above their weight on quality. I wish they were tang through. Your point on tips is well taken, it is sort of crazy there isn't a standard spec.

    Soft grip screwdrivers

    OK - I know there are a million threads about screwdrivers, and invariably someone comes in and says get Williams for the hard handle and someone else goes PB Swiss (don't want to wait til next Labor Day). Well, I like soft handles and am not working on cars that much to care about grease...

    Milwaukee M12 DC adapter?

    Does something like this exist? I would love to use my tools plugged in when I am near an outlet and not worry about it. Or plug in a light for my workbench, etc...

    Felo Ergonic, Tekton, etc for drivers?

    I don't mind the Tekton grip that much, but I do think they are bit oversized, so my wife doesn't like using them when she has a project. I may just push off til Black Friday or something to see if I can swing PB Swiss or something else fancy. I am not in a rush or anything.

    Felo Ergonic, Tekton, etc for drivers?

    This is a bit more pricey but you get hex bolsters. Reviews seem to indicate some poor QC. Williams 100P-8MD 8-Piece Premium Mixed Screwdriver Set https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002NH5F30/?tag=atomicindus08-20

    Felo Ergonic, Tekton, etc for drivers?

    I am not opposed to some bling. But doubt I can do it under $40

    Multimeter

    I just bought a Brymen from TME and had no issues. But obviously haven't had warranty issues to need a claim yet. The price can't be beat and although I don't think that Brymens have the durability rep of Flukes, I can afford to buy another later for the same price as one Fluke. The folks over...
