    Windshield repair kit

    My wife uses the Rain X (I think?) kit from Walmart. Of course I'm sure it's sold elsewhere. I was surprised at how well it's worked for us on three different occasions

    Milwaukee M18 chainsaw parts?

    Quoting myself......these NEVER arrived. Fortunately, I was also never charged but months later I remembered about this and no charge, no call, no notification, no parts Fortunately between last year and this year the drive sprockets are now readily available on ebay. I fully realize the...

    Thx Denny Does anyone know how to get all the lights to illuminate in a test or otherwise?

    Milwaukee 9.0 battery lights

    Negative, once they freaked out and wanted to get all the "old" ones off the street they transitioned to the "new" ones on the right. Left is 2nd week of '17. Right is 7th week of '18 However I will grant you they both carry the same part # Also it may have had nothing to do with their panic...

    Enclosed trailer?

    No help on the actual trailer but 52's are kind of a shifty compromise. The bearings are identical to 6k's but you get a crappy 6 lug bolt pattern. Just skip the middle man and go 8 on 6.5" and be done. I've owned a PJ car hauler with 52's since '05 and basically wanted to upgrade to 8 lug...

    Milwaukee 9.0 battery lights

    Were these the new Red Lithiums or the old "High Demands" with gray backgrounds? I'm dealing with the former. I've previously posted the comedy of the "special" shipping boxes: Post in thread 'The Milwaukee addiction thread! :)'...

    Milwaukee 9.0 battery lights

    I fully understand the 9.0s tend to have problems, that is not the question I have a "Red Lithium" 9.0 that does not illuminate the last light on the fuel gauge. As such I don't know if the diode is just failed or if it's actually not taking a full charge. It used to be possible to "pull...

    Mini-Milwaukee Rant - bad batteries common?

    My M12 6.0 XCs have been bulletproof but I had a rash of 3.0 compact failures. We run them everyday in the winter in our heated gear (my wife works outside everyday caring for 50 to 70 canines on 40 acres, in Colo). Milwaukee took care of each one, so it was just the inconvenience of printing a...

    Mini-Milwaukee Rant - bad batteries common?

    On virgin M18s you often have to pop the cherry and really shove them on the charger. You'll actually hear something pop. Not kidding. Or at least that's been my experience. YMMV

    Problems with flat blades on 4 1/2" angle grinder. Any suggestions?

    I just went through a similar issue but with an adapter for 3" wheels for die grinders. Solution was to chuck up the base and face down the shoulder slightly

    If you only had money to buy one set of combo wrenches...

    If you want to split the difference on the original question, get SK -- they're slightly confused on what normal length should be (this really upsets the SK fan bois but it's true nonetheless)

    Millarmatic 252 buzzing but why??

    So I don't think this is your problem but my local trade school ran a literal fleet of these. The early units had some sort of issue where they'd essentially begin to only weld on one leg (of power). At first glance it'd appear ok but the more you used the machine you'd realize it wasn't...

    Purchasing missing Gearwrench sizes.

    If you're patient, Amazon Warehouse Deals is the ticket here. Figure the 2 part numbers you need and keep your eyes open. Otherwise, go with a different brand because, yeah, retail prices on Chinesium GW singles is just stupid.

    Fireball Tool Hardtail Vise - The Best Vise On The Market???

    I don't get resistance, either. I run a SMALL machine shop of my own but I've purchased way more expensive stuff when the work/purchase orders justified it. Many times the profit on the first order pays for the tool, so it's essentially a wash. Every order after that is gravy. $1500 just...

    Must have large impact sockets

    If you ever touch 2nd Gen Dodges, 1-11/16" for the front stub shaft nuts. Very few sets include this

    Fireball Tool Hardtail Vise - The Best Vise On The Market???

    Honestly the price doesn't seem ludicrous considering what you get and it should last numerous generations of users

    Damned ball joints. Larger width separators out there?

    On a 4runner my issue was not width between forks but overall thickness. I had to add sq stock to increase the "wedge factor"

    Where have all of the Milwaukee Deals Gone?

    I do agree I'm tired of the free 5.0 promos, it feels insulting like they're just throwing in stock they don't even want. But I guess I haven't cared much because I haven't been in a mood to buy power tools lately. The radio news claims we're already shopping for Christmas....not sure why the...

    Cordless batteries.. possible brainfart...

    We've debated this here before but the short answer in real life is yes, more amp hours equals better performance, primarily on high draw tools. If you don't think so, go crank your car with an M12 battery. What, it won't do it? That doesn't make sense, your car is a 12V system, right...
