any cordless / corded tools you WISH Milwaukee would make?

kctyphoon · Jan 13, 2015

i was thinking about that , and so far this is what i got:

cordless:
- m18 fuel powered cable cutter
- m18 fuel strand / bolt cutter
- m18 fuel jigsaw (only a brushed verison available now)
- a dedicated battery pack for the heated jackets, that can be worn on a belt instead of having a heavy battery hanging in your pocket ( i imagined something like a 2.0 m18 battery pack on a belt clip, so you could wear 1 or 2 on one side, or each side of your belt to balance to weight, and daisy chain them together for the longer runtime without just one big heavy lump in your jacket)
- i would say a miter saw, but i hear thats already in the works.

corded:
- corded electric chainsaw -- they use to make one a long time ago, and still, like 10 years later, its one of the best ones you can buy IF you can find one used. i have a corded husqvarna, makita, and Milwaukee, and the milwaukee is the best of the group even after being used to cut telephone poles for the last 12 or so years.
- an adapter to make any m18 or m12 tools corded for heavy or extended use.
- corded led work light stands (like with a tripod)
- underhood led work light (corded and cordless)

thanks so much.. but i didnt find any of my suggestions already listed in 2013's thread.

Mohawk Dave · Jan 13, 2015

some nail guns, brad nailers to be exact.

Buy the Ryobi nailer and paint it red.

Seriously though, I don't see why TTI won't hack off the battery slide and throw a Milwaukee one on it.

Mohawk Dave · Jan 13, 2015

you know...I've seen dudes on here use batteries with wires soldered on them and all kinds of crazy **** to hack this or that.

I'll buy a beat M18 drill, cut off the battery receptor, and liquid nail it to the Ryobi, solder wires, and get the Red paint. GTG.

Good call RR.

Sent you a pm about your classified ad..

The underhood work light is an awesome idea. I would love to have an under hood light that takes m12 batteries.

Cordless crimper for large wires.

M18 weed eater like what makita has

BK13 · Jan 13, 2015

Calling Mr. Conductor! M12 rivet gun?

71goldss · Jan 13, 2015

I think the belt clip battery back on heated jacket would be great. Not sure where the battery is located on the jacket, but planned to buy one of the Milwaukee hoodies during the holidays for my son, but after trying a display model on at HD I decided to pass on the idea. The battery in the pouch on the back side of the hoodie was too heavy and uncomfortable for my liking.

A cordless M18 chain saw. Something small with a 8" or 10" bar.

Also a cordless M12 under hood LED work light would be great.

Techie1961 · Jan 13, 2015

Something like a small air blower/compressor without tank would be nice. Not too powerful but a little better than the air in a can things that you can buy for cleaning out stuff like computer cases, blowing out drilled holes in concrete, etc. Even use it to blow up a tire albeit not very quickly.

M18 Fuel personal massager for my wife.

rmsg0040 · Jan 13, 2015

m18 die grinder and a fuel impact wrench between 200 ft lb and 1100 ft lb

rockfordmarv · Jan 13, 2015

M12 beard trimmer would be nice.

She really needs brushless 18 volt? At least give yourself some credit and say she only needs 12V

Right angle die grinder!

canuckian · Jan 13, 2015

M12 and M18 die grinders and I like the little compressor idea mentioned above.

I would actually use the hell out of that.

Moose364 · Jan 13, 2015

M18 Framing gun
M18 chainsaw

Love the new metal nipper they just came out with for 14ga can't wait for them to come back in stock,

ADSR · Jan 13, 2015

Palm sander.

chrisexv6 · Jan 13, 2015

Cordless finish and brad nailers (a la Ryobi AirStrike)

Not sure what voltage they would need to be...so I have become ready for either!

truckdriver · Jan 13, 2015

M18 personal massager for me!
How about a M18 right angle impact rated with the IR. I'll take the size increase, just make it more powerful.

woodstockva · Jan 13, 2015

M18 FUEL Miter Saw.....

Oh wait, they already have one....just not in the US.....lucky me....

Agreed, or at least add an LED light to the non-fuel version.

M18 FUEL Hackzall (my non-FUEL M18 hackzall gets pretty hot when run for several minutes)

M18 framing nailer
M18 trim router

There is an M12 Dremel type tool. It's not a die grinder but there is some functional overlap.

Milwaukee 2460

It can be done. Here's a guy who did it for Makita batteries.

http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:244011

Thingiverse also has a nice Milwaukee M18 battery adapter (four versions) so this could easily be done. I've considered it but it might be nicer to just tolerate having another battery system.

I think it's real.

Can you imagine cutting through a nail with an 8.5", thin-kerf blade? I'll stick with 10", standard kerf where I have a range of really nice quality, affordable, blades.

It might be a sweet little saw for trim carpentry, though.

it's real. It just ***** we can't buy it here.

rice rocket · Jan 13, 2015

Makita started selling their's recently here, maybe it'll open the floodgates.

Ha.....nope......

kctyphoon · Jan 13, 2015

NOT a joke.. just NOT here.. (yet?) and its a compact sliding saw...
they also made ( or are making ) a tool similar to the craftsman one, with interchanble heads for different tools.. whatever thats called..

isnt that fucked up, that a US based tool company makes something like that and doesnt even sell it in their own country..

Hammer1963 · Jan 13, 2015

I've actually tried one of those out and intend to buy one as my poor dremel has seen better days. still would like to see a purpose built die grinder.
