    The Milwaukee addiction thread! :)

    Mostly sheetmetal stuff, occasional hole in thicker steel. I just went to look and I actually have some M12 and I'm not satisfied with them, they're weak and the chuck won't clamp tight on a drill bit so it screws up the shank. Is the 18v stuff more industrial? and use a chuck key?

    The Milwaukee addiction thread! :)

    Which should I chose for a professional fabrication shop, the 12 or 18v Milwaukee? Its a bit of a commitment with multiple chargers, batteries & devices that I'd expect to last for years and I don't want to make a bad choice. Is there another brand I should look into?

    Odd pliers, how were they made?
