    The Milwaukee addiction thread! :)

    Several years ago I bought a 28V comb kit that included the saw-zaw, circular saw, drill and flashlight. I then bought the 1/2" impact wrench, radio and 4 1/2" grinder. I had some issues with the batteries going bad on me. I'm actually very disappointed as I didn't have much luck on getting...

    Best Soldering Iron

    I have to ask. I've always wonder since learning that crimping is better for car wiring if it would it be better to put a small drop of solder (tinning) on the end of the wire before using a crimp connector? Curt.

    How does the cordless wet/dry vac work? I've thought of buying one but haven't because I was afraid it would not have enough suction. Curt.

    DIY Cordless Combo?

    I love my Dewalt 20V cordless set. It's light weight, feels great with plenty of power. I also have a Milwaukee 28V drill/driver but now prefer the Dewalt 20V. Curt.

    Screeeeeaming deal on 3M LED eye protection

    Picked up 5 pairs today in Clifton Park N.Y. They had about 5 pairs left. Had a hard time finding them as they were just stuffed on the shelf sideways. I actually went back about three times looking around the safety glasses before I spotted them. There was no sticker on shelf so I had a...

    Milwaukee M-12 batteries

    I have had issues with both the 28V and 12V batteries. I hardly used them and took them to a local service center. At first they were good about replacing them and then started giving me reasons while they wouldn't warranty them. They also told me that I should have bought my Milwaukee tools...

    Milwaukee 28V cordless grinder

    I just bought a Milwaukee 28V cordless grinder. The first time a went to use it to sharpen my mower blades, the battery died in about 3 or 4 minutes. I thought it just might have been that the battery was low to start. I finished with my corded Milwaukee grinder. Today I went to cut off a...

    Wrist Watch

    I know that this isn't considered a tool but I'm interested to hear what type of wrist watch you have and how well it holds up to the abuse it can receive by working on or around vehicles and equipment. I have just bought lower end timex watches which do not last very long. Maybe I need to...
