The Milwaukee addiction thread! :)
- Thread starter JustinsGr8
- Start date
Nah, just don't like when people push the most expensive brands on earth to college kids likely taking out student loans to buy said tools. We can't all sell marked up seal kits online, but yes - happy holidays.
Anyways..
If all my santas deliver this year, I THINK the string trimmer, blower, cooler, heat gun, pick and hook set, and MAYBE the Packout system MIGHT show up.. ya know, all red for the holiday season this year. I have a sneaking suspension a Mossberg Shockwave might make an appearance too.. (as if I needed more guns)
Agreed... I don’t think it’s wise for New techs or “college kids” to buy the most expensive tools and I’ve Never claimed they should. In regards to the Seal kits, my kits where far from marked up, secondly I haven’t sold a kit for 3+ years but still put the personal time in to help members with there problems. It would pay dividends to get your facts straight, you wouldn’t look So confused...
Below is a Recent post in one of the recent Snap On is the devil threads..
Regardless, this thread has been too informative to clutter with Non sense.. have a Merry Christmas.

I can see why there is 595 pages of addiction...
I started out with the M12 fuel 3/8 impact and after using it the other day, I decided to go ahead and grab the Milwaukee 2767-22 M18 1/2" impact during the eBay 10% promo and 10% eBay bucks promotion.
It's a slippery slope...
I agree, started out with the 1st generation high torque impact and now I have 5 M18 Fuel impact wrenches. Just picked up the 1/2 mid torque
On next years wish list is the M18 Fuel Deep Cut Band Saw
Quick Question? When I received my M12 3/8 impact I registered at the Milwaukee site with a code of some sort, is there anything that needs to be done in regards to the warranty? Or just keep the receipt?

Just call 1 800 628 8737 and give them ur info
Nice... I kinda hit both ends up the spectrum with the 3/8" M12 fuel impact and now the 2767 1/2". The beauty of the Milwaukee line seems to be the readily available bare tools, im not sure where I'll go next. I'd like to find some bigger batteries, my 1/2" is coming with 5.0's, but I gonna put some wrench time in to see what kind of run time I get.

I Am in the same boat as you. Waiting for a review of using the pump for oils. I realize this is not what it was intended for, but I feel like it could do it.
My local Milwaukee guy said he had a gentlemen come to the store after buying one pump and bought three more... he was using it to move motor oil and prime engines.
I’d like to see a review or video come out before I buck up the cash...

Hiball, you should be fine with the 5.0's. The batteries surprisingly last a long time on the impacts. I just use a 4.0 on the 3/4" Fuel impact
Have a LED work light and man those use up the battery charge quickly. Have 5.0's and should be using a 9.0

Thanks for the info, I figured the light would be pretty efficient being LED, then again I don't what model or size we're talking about, Good to know about battery size and impacts.

2360-20 puts out 3000 lumens and you can plug it into regular 110 AC

Yeah... That's a little bigger than the fold up stick light I had in my head. Lol

7/16 hex drive version of the 1/2" high torque impact, - I can probably drill a 11/16 hole (about 12" deep) through a telephone pole, tighten a 14" long, 5/8" bolt/nut , and then tighten another 5/8" nut & 2 3/4" bolt/nuts placing cable - and doing maybe 30 poles I'll use 2 5.0 batteries, and still have some juice left..

I also use the 5.0s with my impacts and they work fine. You could probably get by with the 2.0 also for general use or non heavy use.

That smaller m18 fuel sds plus rotary hammer drilled a 7/8" hole through a 17" thick wall today.. took a whole 3.0 battery to do it, but that's definitely the thickest wall I've encountered so far..

That's a pretty good size hole!
Should of had a 9.0 on it, believe it can utilize the HD power.

I haven't even put a battery in mine yet.,
I tested it out reflowing some components on an oscilloscope. It wasn't... particularly promising. I wish it had a small chisel / screwdriver tip instead of the mega giant flat tip or the point. I find a conical tip like it comes with to be about useless.
Also it takes FOREVER to cool down. I was thinking since it had the light and was for portable use that it would have a low specific heat and cool down quickly. I didn't time it but it had to be like a half hour plus. My cheap bench top soldering station cools down WAY faster.

I got a 9.0 sawzall kit from CPO and the box had heavy damage. It was the factory box inside of a white plastic wrapper. Wrapper was intact, but box side was crushed in to where the battery was about to come out. Everything works good and looks good. I am impressed by the weight of the saw compared to my Cman 12 year old saw. Ive got 3 more packages coming from CPO tomorrow(I am transitioning from craftsman c3 19.2 over to milwaukee). I guess we will see if they show up in better shape.

I've used the solder iron twice now works just fine in my estimation considering the portability. Joining two 12 gauge wires took a bit more time to heat up than my Hexacon the bench unit on full dial is rated 100 degrees higher @ 850F solder flowed fine though and didn't melt any insulation either
I also used the large flat chisel point it came though might suggest a slightly narrower one like I have on my bench unit. Those are mostly what ever used in electronics factory Still it comes up to temp quick enough IMO.
Just checked my box of tips for the bench unit they are a smaller inner diameter and wont fit the Milwaukee.
Agree long time cooling down...and although it didn't roll around on me I'll repeat what I said before should have some type of cradle stand to hold it.
Better be careful putting back in that hard storage box
The tool should also have had a molded in storage slot to store a second tip
I am not going find major fault with solder iron or the heat gun for my purposes and application though the heat gun overall is a bit disappointing with the lack of features such as lock on button and variable heat setting. Goes thru batteries pretty quick too.

How is the size and weight compared to a corded iron? I've been considering one for portable work but I typically use a butane iron and I don't know if I'd want something that much bigger or heavier.

i wonder if One Key is a failure. the local HD has piles of keys lying around. i have heard discussions here of the OK tools going on unusual sales . . . . .
does anyone here use it? i bought two or three of the keys when they were on sale for 10$ each, and while they are OK, the restrictions (the app needs to be running on your device all the time, you need outside connection all the time) didnt leave me with any obvious uses . . . .

I believe you're referring to the Ticks rather than the OneKey versions of Fuel models.

yes, i am referring to the small widgets they sell to attach to other items. couldn't remember the name. had "badges" originally, but knew that wasn't right.
thanx.

I don't find it cumbersome to use though obviously much larger than a pencil electric unit or Butane torch it is still pretty lightweight overall.
I actually find I sometimes hold it in my hand with a full grip more like you would with the ratchet than always between the thumb and forefinger though you can easily do that especially up by the wide collar just above the tip for more precision. Overall it pretty comfortable to use
I always wanted something battery and cordless a(nd no flame) and never found a worthy review with any of the AA battery ones. Plus as bare tool I didn't really cost that much than some of those others plus I also got ACME discount on it too.
So it works for me

Does anyone have links to some source for xtra tips? Seems a 5/32 drill bit fits just a perfect inside and there is a slight collar around the open end my Hexacon tips don't have that.
