    Miller Pipeworx 350 Field Pro

    Hi all, Miller welder question here. I recently acquired a Miller Pipeworx Field Pro 350. I'd like to use this as a power source for a wire feeder. I'm quite aware of the 7000 dollar smart feeder it is intended to run and I know it will run a 12vs extreme. It has a 14 pin connector. I'm curious...

    Anyone else ever win on ebay accidentally?

    So am I the only one that does this? Find something you kindof like for a good price and shoot a bid in the dark thinking you'd never win at that price? Well it happens to me semi often. However recently it kindhd duped me. I was bidding on a veto pro tech mtc bag. I bid 65 dollars on it...

    2767 vs 2763

    Has anyone had extensive experience with both? Let me start by saying that I'm heavily invested in the m18 platform. For nearly 5 years I had the same 2763 first gen Fuel High-torque impact. Until about 4 months ago when a thief relieved me of it. It was used very heavily and not once ever let...

    Estate sale score

    Today I had the morning off and happened upon an estate sale. There was the workshop of an obvious machinist skilled tinkerer and among some other small scores (Nicholson files, homemade vise, homemade sine plate (more photos to come)) was this surface plate beneath a pile of other goodies. I...

    3/4 inch drill Chuck for cordless drill

    I'm looking for a way to attach a 3/4 in shank capacity Chuck to mm18 cordless drill. I've run into this before where they seem to have made the attatchment on the drill an uncommon size. Which ends up leaving you with only oem options for replacements. The 2804 that I'd like to use I believe...

    Proto XL ratchets

    Best micro torx set?

    Hey all, I'm looking for a good micro torx set for disassembling pocket knives. So far of the past 10 years I've had a few lower end brand micro screw driver sets (home Depot, Lowe's brand stuff). Its something I never really use at work so I never really thought to invest in it. I bought a CRKT...

    Ever seen an Impact like this?

    So last friday I was using my milwaukee 2754 to remove a bunch of 3/8 bolts from a chute cover. All of the sudden I had motor sound but no impact! I assumed the anvil broke off inside of the case. I've had the boot on this impact since new (late 2017). I've been meaning to take it to get...

    Do people ever actually sell these (Matco box 20k)

    Like the title says, do these things ever sell? I can see paying 20k for something on finance, but I feel like the kind of people that have 20 grand lying around to spend aren't the same people that use the tools. Full disclosure, I'm not an automechanic, I'm a millwright and probably have 10k...

    Scratch Start Tig with Maxstar 161s

    I recently bought a Miller Maxstar 161s inverter machine. As a stick welder it is an absolute dream. It runs 6010 like a big boy machine which is real handy for the occasional piping project. My question relates to Tig welding with it. Unfortunately, it's only an S not an ST or an STL, so no...

    Anyone use their mud mixer to drill a hole?

    I've recently purchased a Milwaukee 2810 to mix a little grout at work. And I've always thought that there isnt yet a good cordless candidate to replace the old magnum hole shooter drill. I know the 2804's have ALOT of power but in sustained drilling in metal in my experience they just dont have...

    Anyone have this case? SK 4051

    I've got in my opinion one of the finest and most comprehensive sets of 1/2 impact sockets out there. SK 4051 My complaint is with the case, however its not so much a complaint about the design or the quality. I just dont think it held up to what I asked of it. (bouncing around in the back of a...

    The age of power tools

    Is there any sure way to tell? A resource of some sort? I'd like to be able to type in a model number and then be told approximately when that tool was produced. I've run into this before, I've got the same probelm with mowers. The most recent reason is I just bought a large DeWalt rotary...

    milwaukee 6.0 batteries, white Elephant?

    What is the story on the 6.0 batteries? In the time they have been out, (since 2015 i believe) I've never actually seen one. Unlike the 9.0's, they have not come down in price. I can get 9.0's for 95 bucks on ebay. So what are they for? Why are they so special? Has anyone had any experience with...

    Anyone Care to Speculate on Gen2 Fuel?

    So we've seen the gen2 fuel drill, screw gun and sawzall. I wonder what the 2863 will be like or if theres even plans for one? I guess my question would be how much better could you make such a beast? The Gen2 drill got more powerful and smaller as did the 1/4 hex impact. What do you all think?
