I too came from Craftsman C3 to the Fuel hammerdrill. Lightyears ahead of the Craftsman. The Cman was a good drill - good power and runtime. But the Fuel is a league of its own. It will twist your arm off and run all day. The worst part is it starts an addiction...

I'm a Milwaukee addict too although not as bad as some of you. :beer: Came from the Craftsman C3 system and as those tools break or frustrate me I switch. :) My journey started in 2011 with the M12 multitool, hammer drill, and impact driver set. Then I added the right angle drill, 3/8...

IMHO Dewalt=Yellow Black and Decker. You can do much better. Their 20v is really 18v. All the LiIons come off the charger at 20v. Immediately after you pull the trigger it goes to 18v. DeWalt/B&D rates them fresh off the charger vs in use like everyone else. You may want to look into the...

Darn. I was hoping there was somekiller sale that could have gotten the bigger batts.

Where? I picked up a 2 pack of the M12 XC batteries(3.0) for $79 from Depot on Saturday. They didn't have the 4.0's at all. Would love to pick up a 2 pack of 4.0's!

Well, that day is here: http://www.greenindustrypros.com/article/10882286/lithium-ion-revolution http://www.stihlusa.com/products/battery/ These guys have interesting products: http://coreoutdoorpower.com That being said, there's something about firing up my V-twin lawn mower, 4Mix...

Granted I'm just a "lowly homeowner" :) ... I've got the KM-130R (Kombi system) head with the weedwhacker and pruning saw. Works great - starts 1st or 2nd pull and the 4Mix has plenty of power no matter what the circumstances (It's got close to 2HP). No issues with it other than the weird...

You can still get the older batteries for just about every system. About the tool availability. I'll let you in on a dirty secret. 20vMAX is the same as 18v. For about a minute fresh off the charger all 18-20V LiIon's are at about 20v (4.2*5 = 21v). Pop a load on them and you get down to...

Sure there is and it's so simple. If you print your label through Ebay you get that part of the fee refunded. If you don't you get to pay the fee. Ebay already knows the postage cost because they have the calculators and if you buy postage through them they offer you a discount and put the...

Good! Class actions are a scam of the highest order. Get people who are "victims", then get the company to fork over a token amount of money, the lawyers collect the majority of the money for "expenses" and then each person gets a few dollars for another of the company's products or another...

Cough, Apple, Cough. Read Steve Jobs' biography. He genuinely cared less about shareholders and more about making great products. And us shareholders are reaping the benefits of this philosophy. Smart stockholders realize if you make great products, people will buy your stuff. And they will...

Re: Who's going first? New HF Invertor Gennerator! Why? Every one of these sales is one less for Honda. Sort of like their cars - Americans are waking up to the fact that Honda is no different than Ford and GM. Their cars are not of better quality than everyone else and their poop stinks...

Re: New Milwaukee Fuel 1/2" impact. Anyone else get one and have problems with it? Don't know why I thought we were talking the M12 unit. Guess reading comprehension was not my strong suit. I took a look at your link and it sure does ship with the 4.0 batteries. But the manual or the...

Only because it was the only one with a 4.0 Ah battery. Pop a 4.0 on a M18 Fuel and it will run circles around the Ryobi unit.

Re: New Milwaukee Fuel 1/2" impact. Anyone else get one and have problems with it? Where did you hear that? The Milwaukee web site doesn't say anything about requiring 4.0 batteries and the kit ships with the 2.0's...

I doubt anyone will notice the difference in 18v vs 20v. Most 18V LiIon is closer to 20v right off the charger anyway and under use they both sag to about the same voltage. I'd go Milwaukee M12 or M18 depending on if you want compactness. Or start a collection of both. Milwaukee is...

Re: Who's going first? New HF Invertor Gennerator! I'd rock it. We've got their 5500 watt one and it's fine - starts easily and handles loads fine. Unless you're using very sensitive electronics (hint: not much consumer stuff is sensitive at all) the output of just about anything is fine...

Doubtful. At our HF the women are all very scary looking. Some seem nice but definitely far from hot!

Another vote for Milwaukee. Love my M18 stuff as well as my M12 stuff. IMHO Milwaukee is at the top of their game and not slowing down one bit.

Won't make a bit of difference - the chargers all convert AC to DC to charge the batteries. And with LiIon you have to get that right or the batteries explode. Why people get less use out of batteries charged in this way is because of the temperature extremes in the car. Hot in the summer and...
