    The Milwaukee addiction thread! :)

    Mine is also doing the same thing on one side. I noticed it last fall and it doesn't seem to have gotten any worse this summer. This was my third summer with it.

    I use a M18 blower with a stubby nozzle to dry my car after washing and blow water out of the cracks. The smaller form factor, even if it still has a M18 battery, is a welcome addition.

    It may be the fact that it's a refurbished tool. I didn't see the refurbished option from FAO on eBay and just ordered the bare tool new. It should be here tomorrow. Home Depot says the bare tool includes 1 blade. Assuming it was the general purpose blade I also ordered the fine finish...

    You got me! I've been eyeing the track saw and missed the recent Home Depot special with the bare tool and (2) 6.0 batteries for $399. I didn't really need any more batteries, so 20% off the saw, finish blade, and tracks was a no brainer. Also picked up the cultivator attachment. Thank you...

    Thank you for this. It was finally the motivation I needed to order the M18 inflator. I know Home Depot had a deal a little while ago after returning a battery, but my local ones were out of stock. This place seems legitimate. It has a physical address and company logo visible on Street...

    Thanks for this! All of my sockets are in the garage. I've been looking to duplicate my 1/4" and 3/8" sets in my workshop.

    I don't think it's a screw up. Returning a "free" battery for a prorated return value has been a thing for at least 5 years. They are well aware of it and have had ample time to fix it.

    The battery return "game" is perfectly legal when you purchase in store and the items are separate SKUs. They are listed on the receipt with a prorated max return value for each item. If the receipt stated something along the lines of "all items included in promo must be returned to receive a...

    I have placed multiple orders for Milwaukee tools from Clarks with no issues. I don't remember which OPE item I bought, either the string trimmer attachment or the edger. If I remember right it shipped for under $10. I think it's a small family owned hardware store in Kansas City.

    I've seen a few mowers locally for $500 bare tool on Facebook Marketplace. I think people are buying the kits and parting them out.

    A higher up Milwaukee employee did confirm a snowblower was in the works with a rentative release date of fall 2023. No idea if it will be a single stage or dual stage. We moved into a new construction home and bought the Milwaukee mower once the grass grew in because I already had a boatload...

    Why is it the same tired Milwaukee **** always what's on sale at the Home Depot

    Chargers don't take up much space, but with the M12/M18 argument it's incredibly convenient to have one charger for both platforms compared to using a different brand with a separate charger and need for an additional outlet. The smaller 12v tools have their place compared to 18v. If the M18...

    Multiple battery types ****, but with the common M18 chargers also having an M12 charger built in it's a lot more tolerable.
