My Christmas Presents to myself were all red. Started buying myself the 7 1/2" Fuel circular saw with the 9.0 + charger. Then a week later my table saw blew the plastic angle lock (cheap old Ryobi that was submerged in a flood so was on borrowed time anyway) so I bought a new table saw and the...

15-48% faster, depending on the battery. http://toolcraze.net/milwaukee-m18-m12-rapid-charger-48-59-1808-review/

Milwaukee M12 or M18 hands down. Best 12 or 18 volt system and better than B&D, err, I mean DeWalt any day. Depending on what other tools he may want to add their selection can't be beat. With a 5 year warranty you can't go wrong with Milwaukee.

I don't know I'd compare the one key to the regular old Hilti.... This seems like a better comparison to the Hilti kit: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-M18-FUEL-18-Volt-Lithium-Ion-Cordless-Brushless-Hammer-Drill-Impact-Driver-Combo-Kit-2897-22/206211756 We all have to use what works...

I've got 4 systems - C3 Craftsman, 12v Hitachi, M12, and M18. All are getting converted to M12/M18 as tools or batteries die.

I use an iOttie mount - not cheap (IIRC about $30) but the suction thingy has held to the textured dash in my F150 for 2 years now without fail - heat or cold. It's spring loaded so you just pop your phone in there and the clamps grip it tightly.

Can you pop it open and just replace the battery? We have an old battery + compressor combo and I've replace the battery twice on it as we like it so much.

I don't know who I hate more - Home Depot or Milwaukee. Added the 7 1/2 Fuel saw kit with 9AH batteries and the M18 Fuel Miter saw with 2 9.0's this week. Both are awesome and the miter saw is incredibly impressive - much better than the Ryobi 10" it replaced. So o far, my addiction is...

I figured it was normal coil or transformer whine but it's quite loud and my other chargers are dead silent. Seems to only happen when running the 9.0 battery so it makes sense that the increased demands from that would produce the noise.

I just got the Fuel circular saw/9.0 starter kit combo. I was charging up the 9.0 and noticed the charger was buzzing too. Did you ever get an answer from Milwaukee?

Couldn't you use ice in the compressor coolers too? Seems like it would be the best of both worlds in that case. You could use ATV power to and from your destination to keep the ice frozen and then let it naturally defrost when you get there just like now. I don't have either but having...

Do ATVs have charging systems or cigarette lighters? (I don't know so not being a smart ***.). Should be easily able to run that compressor cooler off that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's assuming that the 2.0/4.0/5.0 use the same Redlink circuit. Which they don't. They are calibrated to the battery capacity. So, say the 2.0 will be limited to 4A discharge, the 4 to 8A discharge, and the 5 to 10A. I'm not sure if those are the numbers but the circuitry needs to be...

Yes, you will get more power with the higher AH batteries. Why? Voltage Sag! A battery can only put out so much juice, called the C rate, which is the Capacity. Say you have a 2AH battery. It will put out 2A for 1 hour, which is called 1C. If you want 4A, you get 30 mins, that is 2C, etc...

Me too. Guess I'll just crank it up to 120 PSI and be done with it then.
