    When Buying Milwaukee Batteries SAVE YOUR RECEIPTS

    Milwaukee has great customer service but some of their batteries ****. First there was the 9.0 M18 battery which sucked and now there is the M12 6.0 battery which ***** worse. Now the problem is that these batteries are warranted for three years. The 6.0 is in fact the only M12 battery warranted...

    Has Anybody Else Had a High Failure Rate of Milwaukee M12 6.0 batteries Versus 4.0 and 3.0 XL

    I have already sent in for warrantee replacement three Milwaukee M12 6.0 batteries. I have yet to have a failure with the 4.0 and 3.0 XC batteries of the same family. When these fail you get three dots on the tool they're on and when you put them on the charger first you get the red charging...

    Has Vince at VCG Construction Gone to "The Dark Side"?

    Vince has been one of the biggest Milwaukee shills of all time on YouTube yet in the last week he has released three videos saying that three of the tools introduced at the recent big Milwaukee shin-dig sort of ****. Is this annoying man from Philadelphia biting the hand that feeds him? 1) Made...

    Recommend to me some YouTube Channels that work on cars somebody actually cares about instead or rust bucket garbage.

    I'm done with Eric O., Customer States What, Rainman Ray's Auto Repairs and the alike working on shitbox cars that should be in crushers. I live in a desert and seeing rust sickens me as that's one of the reasons why I left Pittsburgh. I like Diagnose Dan as he works on cars that aren't complete...

    A Reasonably Priced Engine Stand that can Handle a 6.0 Powerstroke Diesel Engne

    A sad tail. My buddy, OK I'll admit it, through total stupidity blew up his 6.0 Powerstroke diesel engine in his F250. We have a backhoe to remove the engine from the truck but what engine stand can withstand the weight of such a heavy engine. Don't want to pay $7,000 for the OTC one. Any...

    Pete's Hobbies just gave me a Debbie Downer.

    Here I was all fired up to buy the new Iwata WS400 and LS400 Series 2 spray guns and my man Pete in the UK tells me there isn't anything different between them and the original Supernovas. Iwata claimed massive improvements and Pete tells me it's all a lie. Looks like I'll have to buy DV1's now...

    ICON S-style wrenches. Are these useful.

    I was watching a Rainman Ray video and he said that he bought and liked the ICON S style wrenches. ARE THESE IN FACT USEFUL? They clearly look cool, I'm not asking that, but are there situations that these can get you out of that I'm unaware of? An example or two would be nice. Does the S-shape...

    $309 for four (4) M18 6.0 High Output batteries which normally require you sell your first born child to buy. Best price I've seen in two years. These are the batteries with the big Li-Ion cells that can really deliver the juice.

    I question if it is really necessary to return clicker torque wrenches to there lowest value

    I have about 30 torque wrenches. About 10 clickers, four split beam, and the rest electronic, some with angle and some without angle. Like a good boy I've always returned my clickers down to their minimum value prior to storage EXCEPT for one which is a $9.99 (with coupon in the old days) Harbor...

    Has Anybody Used the Milwaukee M18 Transfer Pump to do ATF changes.

    The M18 transfer pump is SECIFICALLY made to move water or so Milwaukee says. But, there are about 10 YouTube videos out there where people swear that it's a great diesel fuel, oil and gear oil pump with no ill effects coming to the pump after being used professionally in this manner. If you can...

    I made two great suggestions to Harbor Freight - We will see if they do anything with them.

    I called Harbor Freight's customer service line and I made two suggestions for things they should sell and we will see if they pay any attention to these two (in my opinion) excellent suggestions. 1) They have recently introduced their version of the Eastwood SCT paint stripping tool. HOWEVER...

    Best Harbor Freight Line Ever.

    I got a 15% off one time use coupon sent to me from Harbor Freight so I went the 1 mile from my house to the Harbor Freight store at 32nd Street and Bell Road and bought their new ICON hose removal pliers with my coupon. Looks great. While there I noticed how empty the shelfs were and asked the...

    Not enthused by the new Tekton Screwdrivers

    Right before the price increase I received an Email from Tekton touting their new version of their grippy handled screwdrivers so I bought two of the new version slotted screwdrivers one 1/4" and the second the 5/16". The handles are great but the new style blades where the angle of the taper is...

    Which twelve point sockets are required on modern vehicles?

    I know there are some car makes and models that require 12 point sockets as they use 12 point bolts. Can anybody tell me which sizes of twelve point sockets are required for such vehicles. I, like most people, prefer 6 point sockets but you can't put a six point socket on a 12 point bolt so...

    This is a Killer Tool

    I've been looking for a bit holder to hold 1/4" power bits for use with my 3/8" drive ratchets and impacts. This baby is the absolute bomb. It has an adjustment screw at the bottom the enables you to completely remove the slop typically associated with bit holders. SUPER HIGHLY RECOMMENDED...

    A Game Changer in Cordless Sanders

    Every cordless sander I've ever used has SUCKED BIG TIME. They are amazingly poorly balanced and the center of gravity is way to much toward the back of the tool and they are top heavy which is the worst characteristic a sander can have. I have a Milwaukee M18 (since I'm a Milwaukee fan boy) and...

    Found Out Something that I didn't know

    I have a new Toyota Camry that I wanted to check the oil level on. Toyota, unlike other cars that I've owned doesn't drill holes through their dipsticks so that you can see if there is oil on the dipstick or not. With clean oil it's damn near impossible to tell if the oil level is correct or...

    Trusty Cook's Website is Screwed Up

    I received an email concerning a sale at Trust Cook hammers. Thought I'd buy a couple. The Model 2.5 and 4 looked interesting to me. Saw the sale price and put the items in my cart. When I went to check out the items were at their normal full price. Killed that idea.

    Milwaukee, the grinch that stole Christmas

    Last year I got a M18 Fuel router and two M18 6.0 batteries (the good ones with the larger cells) for the price Milwaukee wants this year for the router and an obsolete 5.0 battery. BA HUMBUG!!!
