    Like he said, depends on your use case. I have the M12 Fuel stubby and older M18 Fuel mid-torque (I think 450 ft-lb?) and I barely use my mid torque anymore. But I'm primarily working on cars that aren't rusty - most swapping wheels and suspension work on cars. If you're workings on a lot of...

    LOL I fell for the exact same deal, also fired it up, and heard the same ear piercing whine. Not that my $10 harbor freight angle grinder sounds any better (it sounds like a bag of rocks), but it doesn't whine.

    Need some real world use advice here, just got the M12 Fuel extended reach 3/8 ratchet, and this thing is MASSIVE. I got it primarily to make it easier to get into the engine bay to remove coilpacks from my FRS (these cars love to burn up coil packs at the track) but this thing is too big...

    I'm sure this has already been discussed... But what happened with home depot on the free tool with 2 5ah battery kit? Deal was too good, they pulled all the stock or supply chain issues like everything else in the world? Wonder if they will get back in stock before the deal ends...

    I feel like I'm 0 for 2 on my most recent Milwaukee purchases... First, got the M18 random orbit sander for Christmas and the dust collection is useless, even when connected to a shop vac. I still much prefer my corded Masterforce sander...collects dust significantly better and feels better in...

    Any hot deals on the M12 non-fuel oscillating multi tool? I need one this weekend for a project...I'm guessing Home Depot with the 11% rebate match is probably my best bet at this point.

    I haven't found a need for an oscillating multi-tool, but now I'm doing a mini remodel of a bathroom and might need to trim some of the baseboard. Seems like it's time for a multi-tool. Is the M12 multi-tool sufficient enough? I won't be using it a ton so it's hard to justify ponying up for...

    My stubby arrived today :) This will slot in nicely below the mid-torque for me and perfect for taking to the race track. The mid-torque has yet to let me down so I see no need for a high torque... <blockquote class="imgur-embed-pub" lang="en" data-id="a/2JyfJCi"><a...

    Join the club... M12 stubby was backordered and a few of us are waiting. I called last week and said they are supposed to get a shipment of the stubby's early this week and will be shipping out orders soon after.

    I think the 15% off bare tool on CPO right now is one of the better deals you'll find at the moment (although others are welcome to chime in). The $116 deal at Toolup on black friday weekend was kind of a unicorn deal...they had a special black friday price of $141, plus another $25 off...

    Where can you check the order status online? I can't seem to find the link... Also, for those that missed out, you can get the stubby and M12 starter kit (2.0 and 4.0) for $187, or just get the stubby for $152. Not too shabby...

    I got an M18 circular saw (brushed 6 1/2" version with the blade on the left) free with a kit and I was planning on selling it because it wasn't a brushless Fuel...until I used it once on a whim. Now I love the thing, most recently used it to rebuild my entire deck. It didn't skip a beat. Even...

    I'm also a weekender maintaining my track car and family fleet...I had an older M18 fuel 3/8 impact with 200 ft-lbs and it was plenty for wheels, suspension bolts, etc. Until one time I got to one single rusted brake caliper bracket bolt that it couldn't break free. So I sold it and got the...

    I spoke with the same guy...I did specifically ask for an email confirmation, so I'm not sure if it's standard practice to send an email confirmation?

    FYI, I called toolup this morning (there was a bit of a wait, but they have a call back system), and they canceled my older order quickly and easily and sent me an email confirmation.

    Where do you buy your Milwaukee Tools?

    Follow this thread and prepare to unload your wallet on all the deals: https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?p=8211237#post8211237 There was just a deal for the M12 3/8 stubby at toolup, but it's done now unfortunately.

    Thank you and everyone for the feedback on the light options. I ended up pulling the trigger on the M12 Rover because I do only work under the car on jack stands :( , I figure i can always turn it down to to low or medium modes if it's too bright...and it was only $55 w/ free shipping on CPO...
