^I love these

Sheet sander @$75 and m18 fuel packout vac @$170 might be worth it... https://tools.woot.com/plus/milwaukee-tools-and-accessories-2?ref=w_cnt_wp_12

Probably need to add 3d printers to the list as well. I think I need to up my <3mm game now. Although think I am going to gravitate towards drivers and t handles more so.

This thread helps me reinforce that I really don't have hex key obsession and its normalized... think I own almost all of the referenced hex keys for working on bikes and for some reason this thread has a lot of the same folks who post on the the bicycle specialty tool thread... Anyways just...

would be curious about the voltage to see if the vac somehow over discharges the battery so the charger thinks its dead. Also might be able to open the pack to check the voltage of each cell individually.

Something with a metal tank is nice as it tends to hold up and doesn't compress from the vacuum. A Mityvac handpump one (only buy with an external pump) works well if the oil is warm and gravity is on your side. Have to say even though my compressor has been a bit of a turd in terms of a diva...

For a more expensive solution. Maybe one of these + an M18 Compressor. M18 Compressor can be used for other things like filling trailer tires, etc. Something like this should hold 2 oil changes or so...

Thanks for the transparency. It is too bad KTC made this business decision. Doesn't make much commercial sense to me unless they somehow could shut down all the other avenues we are acquiring Japanese tools. They seem to be trading off potentially lower volume for some small (?) currency...

Wishing some of the Milwaukee lights had a built in motion sensor. Wouldn't mind leaving the radius light in my shed and have some instant light whenever I walk in. My solar lights last like a year before the solar panel either degrades or falls off the light.

The irony is Proto doesn't recommend using an impact. Mine is stamped "Hand Use Only". Kind of hard to remember when grabbing extensions in the dark out of a pile. The knurling is awesome. Kind of reminds me of Koken and old school SK. I have had to put bright safety orange electric tape as...

Thanks! Looks like I am finally getting the m12 hedge trimmer. Coupon works this time!

Many thanks. Doesn't seem like much of a penalty for the m12 especially for the smaller jobs. 2/3 the voltage for 2/3 the power. I'll take quiet any day for emptying rain barrels. M18 with larger battery capacity definitely the way to go for draining a flooded basement if you have to go...

Thanks. Would be interested to know the flow difference if its easy enough. Also are you using a 5/8th standard garden hose?

many thanks @GeoBruin . Sounds like the flow penalty is reasonable. While I have the m18 transfer pump with a 25 foot hose the darn thing sounds like a dying wookie.

I like this hack. It is mildly annoying the pump head doesn't fit in a lot of places like rain barrel openings. Guessing running a long hose off of this hack to expect a big decrease in flow?

9 times out of 10 its the batteries which seem to be the weak link of modern brushless cordless tools. Degradation is a real thing fortunately or unfortunately on lithium ion. I do wonder how much battery cycling vs over discharging/charging vs heat/cold vs letting the battery sit there fully...

I think the installation driver might be a good deal @ $140 with two batteries: https://tools.woot.com/offers/milwaukee-2505-22-m12-fuel-drill-driver-kit?ref=w_cnt_lnd_cat_tool_8_4 also check out the rotary tool for $70...

@BroncoAZ - I like how any self respecting Milwaukee addict has at least one non rapid charger on their charging rack.

Going forward I am going to try my best to Inkzall date the battery goes in service so then I can cross reference with my email receipts. I think I bought this battery in 2019ish so I got double the warranty period. The 6.0s HOs are probably my most used batteries. I know I was joking about...

Yes its part of the AI generated memes floating out on the internet due to the current global debate regarding tariffs. AI clearly has a ways to go. In the video the "Dewalt User" is trying to use said drywall gun to install a hamburger sticker on what looks to be a Model 3 while falling...
