New Milwaukee Products!

Those die grinders look interesting

 

[see pictures]

The milcopy flexvolt i mean the Milwaukee rear handle saw. I might get that after i see a comparison to the dewalt but it sounds like the dewalt is faster.

You probably can't buy or possess those extended capacity magazines for the nail guns in some states. Too lethal.

I'm looking at getting a packout and curious if there's anything new about the boxes themselves or if there's just new addons like the milk crate....

I didn’t see anything new to the packout base set. More assessories with the crates, wall mounts, dolly, radio, etc. Some really cool things. Defiantly needed. I am looking forward to the dolly. Curious as to the price.

They do. I'm just not sure why there needs to be 4 of them.

There's not four of them. It's one grinder with four speed settings. they had a display showing the different accessories used at each RPM setting.

 

[rmsg0040]

I got a corded die grinder, it only has 1 speed setting which is top speed, with some attachments it's no good

 

[2manytools]

I dont understand the appeal of the 4-1 M12. Is it to have 1 tool instead of having to buy all 4? Also what is the 4th attachment, the weird looking one, the other 3 are RA, Chuck, Hex.

Offset attachment.

Pricing is going to be interesting, I can't see the whole 4-1 kit without batteries being less than $250, I'm thinking $279, with 2 compact batteries the whole kit is going to be $400 maybe.

Bosch 12v varient kit is $199 standard pricing with 2 batteries, and I've seen it as low as $150 before additional discounts at Lowe's. I was hoping to see the Milwaukee at $150-160 bare tool.

I have an AIR die grinder. Any setting you want. last 100 years

Sweet! Thank you

 

[powerstrokin]

Omg the new ratchets have me drooling lmao.. Any clue what prices will look like on them?

 

[reader2580]

I was pretty interested in the 1" impact wrench until it was delayed from June 1st to Sept 20th. My 6,000 miles of driving my converted bus will happen before Sept 20th.

Maybe Makita will come out with something similar so I don't have to invest in yet another battery system.

What? No Milwaukee underwear? Tool storage is tool storage, after all.

Wouldn’t that belong in the tiny tools thread?

I can’t help it. I did chuckle, a little.

 

[kctyphoon]

Ill probably be buying one of those rain shells too.. i wonder (would think) there’s a high visibility option..

Winter work gloves coming too.. finally..

Mine only lasted 35 years. I got ripped off.

 

[CJM8515]

I want the die grinders. While air works and is ok, it means either I drag the 30 gal compressor near the work or the work to the compressor

 

[sweet victory]

So what's a real-world application look like for an electrician? I'm asking....

Installing new construction down lights between rafters. To be more specific I'm thinking residential applications. Pretty sure they demo'd this application at the show

 

[Farmall450]

Pretty much all we need is an air hammer replacement now. This is some great stuff.

Agreed, that really is about it.

Same here ! I have a portable air compressor which is not slouch, but I have get it out and fire it up to use my dire grinder.

 

[Brandonorr55]

It’s a utility lineman’s tool. It fit on the end of a fiberglass stick that we us to open and close sitches, fuses, etc. it’s lighted, focusing the right at the attachment on the end of the stick

 

[sweet victory]

Agreed, that really is about it.

All the automotive youtubers I follow who went said that was the most requested tool at the show.

It is probably hard to get the cyclic rate high enough with a gear drive but I wonder if they could do it with hydraulics like a rock hammer on an excavator? The surge is already a proof of concept for a miniature hydraulic system in an electric tool.

They still dropped the ball with no M18 inflator. The M12 is great....for a Yaris

I suspect they plan a M18 compressor instead. Hopefully theirs will be better than DeWalts.

 

[dnschmidt]

All good except for the torque wrench which to me is a complete POS. Who spends $700 for a torque wrench without angle in this day and age.

 

[kctyphoon]

Here's an update - safety glasses and other safety products are launching in October - and that's straight from Milwaukee this time. I messaged them on FB.

 

[rlitman]

I agree.

We are down to less and less reasons to turn on a compressor every day.

Air hammer, needle scaler, the tool that cuts window sealant, straight line sanders...

Fein has made electric windshield tools for decades now.

 

[white91formula]

This die grinder, and hopefully a non 90 degree one soon after, are a Great Leap Forward.

I cannot wait for them to come out.

supposedly there was a straight one also, but i cant find any pictures of it.

Anyone help with this ?

M18 platform has had a straight model for a while now.

But isn't the M12 rotary tool basically a straight M12 model?

 

[rmsg0040]

^^ that's a 1/8 shank, die grinders are 1/4 shank

I sometimes run a 1/4 to 1/8 reducer in my electric die grinder

I read somewhere from the NPS19 reports that there was a straight version of the die grinder also, but there has been no pictures yet.

I was trying to figure out if it was going to be a replacement for the rotary tool or not. other than the mandrel size of course.

Is it just an electronic torque wrench that beeps or does it have a motor that automatically spins the fastener down to the specified torque? If so I could see it in a production environment. Otherwise I agree it's more expensive than a Techangle with less capability and makes absolutely no sense.

Well don't forget - Milwaukee always seems to hold on to a few things without announcing them. Those are the things that get them over the hump mid year - that gives people another reason to get excited.. one day you'll just find out - Milwaukee released a ------ out of the blue..

I mean - let's be honest here. You KNOW a 15.0 battery is coming at some point.

At the end (4:25) he said there was a inline version coming out january 2020

Betting it's also variable speed, since I think the M18 isnt.

Also betting that would be the bigger seller (according to their research) and why the right angle was released first..

They always seem to do that.. leave the tool that people would PROBABLY buy, over buying BOTH, as the second release.. so they entice you to wind up with both... Just long enough to get over the pain of the first purchase. Lol

Wish I had that new rain shell today.. that's on my list too now.

 

[dacan23]

Like the Mid Torque 3/8... released the 1/2 first when most of us didn't want the 1/2 as we had the high torque, and now many of us have both or those that got the 1/2 converted it to 3/8.

Also the Gen2 7.25" saw released before the worm drive....

They are so smart its stupid.

Aside from the collet size it doesn't have the power of a 1/4" die grinder nor the speed of a 1/8" one. It's basically a cordless Dremel not a viable alternative to any kind of air die grinder.

 

[dacan23]

Sad that perhaps the #1 tool (M12 RA Grinder) people are excited about, is something they should of made 5 years ago.
