DeWalt cordless tools and some hand tools are assembled in USA not made in USA. Other hand tools including ratchet wrenches and sockets are Asian.

Milwaukee is an American based tool company. They are not a manufacturer. TTi - who is Milwaukee's parent company - IS a manufacturing company.
In most cases, tool companies hire manufactures to produce their products. TTI, over the years, has acquired different brands, Milwaukee being one of them. So now, in a sense, Milwaukee is controlled by their manufacturers.

actually, dewalt says " made in USA with global materials".
i dont know what that means, but if basically it means that they take pieces made elsewhere and assemble them here, i suppose that is better than nothing, but i will note that all the high paying jobs are elsewhere, leaving low paying assembly jobs here.
look at your "american" car for the part on the sticker that tells you what percentage of the car is made in the US, and where the engine and transmission are made . . . . . .
it is not as simple as it was in the 60's or 70's. . . . . .

I'm not saying this is true in Dewalt's case, but it can actually be as little.as 15 or 20 percent of material or.componets coming from somewhere else.
Made is USA - can also include SOMETHING that came from another country, as long as it's deemed as a negligible (spelling?) part or percentage of the overall contribution of the product.

Still surprised when people dont know theres a diff between Made & Assembled in USA. Some good confusing boring reading here.

I got this in Friday of last week. Haven't had much time to play with it yet, though I did try spinning off some lug bolts that were torqued to 110 ft-lbs. One took about 5 seconds of hammering before it broke loose (was probably overtorqued), the others came right off. Pretty good for that tiny little thing. It fills part of the gap between my M12 ratchets and the Gen 1 1/2" High Torque, someday I will pick up an M18 3/8" One Key.
The "outer" hole you can see is the factory dimension. Below is a little better picture showing the hole that he enlarged. His machining work leaves a little to be desired, she's a little loose in the hips compared to the factory fit. This unit won't be used and abused out in the dirt, and I'm just a weekend warrior so it will probably last me just fine. I did crack open the case and pull out the impacting mechanism, but I was too chicken to tear into that without knowing exactly what I was getting into.
I can do that when I get home tonight.

Anyone see the M12 tire inflator?

Now I'm ticked....the whole time we said it has to be a serious inflator. That thing is nothing but a $20 slime pump from Walmart with a battery port instead of a cigarette lighter plug.

List price $118. I don't see it for sale anywhere yet. https://www.tooloutfitters.com/compact-inflator-m12/
Definitely appears to be disappointing.

Looks less appealing that I'd hoped, but I may consider one depending on the price it actually ends up selling for...

Both of the Ryobi ones beat it by specs!!! How can you not even compete with your own company's lower end line. Does anyone use the adapter for Ryobi I am honestly thinking of picking up a couple things like their inflator.

I remember a comment on here a while ago saying that they were afraid we would finally get things we we're asking for but they wouldn't be very good so no one would buy them and that would be the end of getting things we ask for

Interesting that for a new tool the inflator kits include a 2.0 for the compact and 4.0 for the XC instead of 3.0/6.0.

That is a redeeming quality....that is way better than those terrible ones that push on and flip over like a bike pump.

That's about what I'd expect for the M12 line. This would be great for filling bike tires, wheel barrow tires and other small pneumatic tires. I wouldn't expect an M12 compressor to fill vehicle tires.....that tool would be better for the M18 series.

higher priced batteries will drive the price up, and at this price point, likely considerably.
it also may be that they are saving the higher AH batteries for higher end kits.
i bet their costs for the lower AH batteries are getting pretty low. the tech is old enough . . .
what i found interesting is the the existing XC batteries fit flush with the feet. this implies that they dont intend to increase the pack dimensions (like they did to get the 9AH M18).

So are you as disappointed as me??? You were the first person I thought of that would be disappointed.

I dont know, 120psi, LCD display, handle, you can turn it on and walk away.... It says highly accurate pressure, lets see the +/- error % when full specs come out. Prolly $80... Oh well.
Gonna call Acme and see if I can preorder the preorder lolololol

Yeah you guys are too picky lol. I'm just happy they are finally getting it. It will fill a tire, thats all i ask of it. I have a slow leak on my older car and this will save me breaking out the compressor every week. Good thing I kept procrastinating on the ryobi.

Like some one said it is fine for an M12. The diy guy doing bike and Prius tires. I want something that I can pump up a FLAT wagon tire a mile from the barn in a reasonable amount of time because I am standing there waiting for it to finish. This happens pretty often because the feed wagons get pulled to the pasture and sit for 6 months then you go to move them and they are flat. The 12 volt cigarette lighter compressors are way too slow so you end up dragging the 26 gallon compressor out to pasture.

I have those little 4 foot yard wagons that I dragged around the property with my ATC. To move firewood or tools to the back shed or whatever. Those little pneumatic tires always leak and something like this would be just fine. I definitely would also want to M18 for the vehicles

Started cutting out my Kaizen Foam inserts for my packout this week.
What I realized is I need more packout containers and that the small ones are way more useful then the larger ones for 80% of the tools.

I actually prefer that style, never had an issue with it
Nice job that’s what I plan on doing unless Milwaukee comes out with trays that fit tools.
On a related note how well do people think the sequential would travel with batteries on it if supported by foam?

So Milwaukee 2720 to the rescue!
Some tiny old woman (a look thru the steering wheel type of driver) rear ended my buddy on Harley he was test driving after being in his shop for some service. The hit pushed that that bike so hard that the front wheel and crushed down fender was lodged tight under the bumper of a parked SUV We couldn't get it out until used the sawzall to cut the fender.
I should have took pictures

Better question is "was he ok?" I've had a couple of heart stoppers on my bike, but have yet to fall or have an accident.. car vs motorcycle on a police report does not inspire confidence on the riders chances..
