You guys got me! Picked up a fuel hammer drill/impact set today. I feel like Milwaukee will be getting a lot of my money in the future!

Yep, toolguyd.com. Or poke around Milwaukee's foreign sites for cool tools already out there that we don't get for reasons I don't understand.

american laws **** nuts...

we can't get cool cars because too many idiots can't put a seatbelt on.

we can't get cool aftermarket parts for cars because too many people blame parts for a crash when it was driver error.

we can't get good tools i'm assuming because our market is very different from other markets. people want cheap ****, so they buy cheap ****. cheap and good is one thing, but people literally buy cheap junk instead of decently priced goods. thats the way our market works unfortunately

Looks like the XC 5.0 batteries are popping up.

Of course they do after I just bought a 4.0 battery earlier this month from CPO for $99.00.

Confirmed that my local HD will allow use of these coupons. They are online at Northern Tool. My closed NT is about 40-miles for reference.

Milwaukee's Chinese factories are humming for sure.

Have a link to the online source of these? I know my store doesn't like print outs and I want to show them a link if they don't believe me when I tell them they are online at NT.

It's a mental thing. Your 4.0 is still awesome. Just because the 5.0 was released, doesn't make the 4.0 any less.

i should start a new thread titled "how many different cordless drills do you own" or " how many tools do you own that do the exact same thing" i might rank pretty high in the wasting money club..

wasted money!?!? only if the wife bought it! like that menards ni-cad masterforce drill... it works, but its bigger than necessary, the batteries charge so slow i would have ran out of juice when building that shed if i didn't have the milwaukee also. and it's good to have a f....... **** i just realized i've got 3 different cordless drills at home now...... :beer:

and now i've got the 12v LED light and 2763 fuel coming home to me cause i had a gift card that needed burning

M18 XC 5.0Ah has been introduced but is there a higher capacity COMPACT M18 than 2.0Ah?

This. And I think that applies to 3.0 vs 4.0 too. It's like buying the '15 Duramax with every possible option and then wanting to scrap it when the 2016's hit the market with an extra cup holder or updated nav system. But it's called consumerism & makes our economy go 'round.

Beer comes in a 6 pack because 1 is just not enough.......the same for cordless drills [emoji12]

If I could justify the time I'd like to start a "who has the most Milwaukee tools total" thread. Between corded, M28, M18, and M12 I'd like to throw my hat in the ring. Hand tools could count too but should be given fewer "points" IMO.

The only "contender" who might de-throne me would be GrooveKing w his extensive M12 collection, but I'm not sure how much other Milwaukee he has.

And it's all moot until I'm willing to pile all my Milwaukee tools on the floor and take photos.....so I'm just bench racing I guess!

Since the idea of the M12 was to be compact. If they can fit 3.0 in the size requirements, they would do it. :bounce:

Yeah - that's what I got it for - blowing out the garage, the shed, and the bed of the truck. Works really good for that. Even worked decent to blow the grass clippings off the sidewalk. Wouldn't use it for leaves in the grass or large jobs but it does the light things well.

Not worth $100 but at $69 it's an OK buy. At $49 it's a no brainer!

this blower is awesome, i have been using it to blow out my gutters and some of the leaves in my garage and it is super effective.

for 49 bucks you cant go wrong.

I was skeptical at first... no more. It wouldn't blow leaves off of grass, but it will do the garage, workshop, driveway and almost anything else I need. Cordless. No fumes.

How's the battery life with this grinder ?

Wanna Ride · Dec 3, 2014

I don't really need my batteries to last for hours, I just like the convenience of not having a damn cord all tangled under foot. That **** drives me nuts!

But I have to admit - I did a bunch of work in the garage this weekend with the circ saw, the drill, and the impact. All with one battery; I just wanted to see how long the 4.0 would last. Two days worth of work, and I never did kill it. I didn't cut 500 sets of stairs, but I did rip 5 or 6 sheets of OSB, lots of smaller pieces, and several dozen 2x4s, not to mention all the 3" screws, drilled holes, etc. Pretty impressive, I thought.

You used the new 7 1/4" circ saw?

For those who don't already have an M18 hex impact.... $89 with 2 compact batteries (non fuel)

Trying to resist. Is the 2 speeds of this 2657 of much use over the 2650?

Me too. Dang, not sure what to do.

I am also addicted but I cannot admit to myself, this is why I don't post pictures. As stated on the Forum no pictures not true ( or something to that effect).

In short, yes. Much better control than trying to feather the trigger.

But it sold out anyways.

New radio/charger and two M28 Red Lithiums!

May be a dumb question, but is the Fuel two speeds as well?

I loved that this deal came with a case. I missed out anyway, so I'm bummed.

No, it's the smaller one... What, 6" or 6.5, I think?
