The Milwaukee addiction thread! :)

The 2654 boot is listed for the 2754 too

Really. The people at Milwaukee said they were coming out with a boot for it and it wouldn't fit. Maybe I will give it a try. Thanks.

 

[Jamie V]

I'm not gonna lie. If they made a strong enough right angle die grinder i'd probably only pick up air to inflate tires.

I'm with you 100% on that one!

I'm not 100% sure after looking again... if you go to cpomilwaukee and search for 2754 it will pull up the boot.. so that is why I was thinking it would work. I don't see it actually listed as a compatible part number now though, so I may be wrong..

[killerb87]

Ok. Thanks anyway. That part number did throw me off to.

Got the rest of my stuff. Just picked up the Milwaukee tool chest. Didn't get pics yet.

 

[Wanna Ride]

This would really make it a lot easier for everyone to see pics. And you guys would like it, because it's FREE.....

[Caparris]

lol, yeah.. the last few pictures have been a BIT large...

Let us know how you like the right angle impact. I almost bought one probably 10 times but never did pull the trigger, then they had some bad reviews so I lost interest

It's a great idea.. just not sure if it's strong enough to be useful

 

[tt350z]

Sorry about the large pics. I've been posting on my phone so I wasn't sure if it was my phone or if the forum codes resized it automatically.

Will do, I'll be heliping my buddy do headers and exhuast swap on my buddies G8 when the parts come. It'll give me a chance to test it. Probably wont break the torque. But hopefully it'll spinnit off quickly instead of getting 2 clicks on a ratchet for 15 minutes.

Northern Tool B&M has the Milwaukee 2763-22 M18 Impact Wrench kit on sale for $329, in-store only. This kit has the new 5.0 Ah batteries. I'm pretty sure you can combine with $50 off $250 coupon. I'm in the DFW area.

As much as I like Milwaukee tools the NBH one90 is what caught my eye. I thought that was a good stick but man I loved the one95! Still have a couple but one has a blade that is about to explode

 

[tt350z]

Good eye

The one90 broke above the blade so I just cut it down and kept the shaft. Might need it one day.

I picked up a one95 and Vapor x:60, which cracked a blade in like 2 weeks I warrantied that one and the replacement blade cracked as well but lasted much longer. They eventually got replaced by the APX AND APX2. I prefer the Vapor/APX line over the Supreme line of sticks, but those Supreme's are tanks and last forever in my experience.

 

[Redfreightshaker2016]

I finally bit the bullet and got in on the Milwaukee addiction.I picked these up at Home Depot this morning after seeing the free tool or battery promotion. I picked up the 3/8 drill and the Impact driver along with the Hackzall and the 4.0 xc battery.Im already looking to add more to the M12 collection and looking at a few M18 tools as well.I really want the M12 3/8 ratchet and the M18 2763 1/2 impact gun.

 

[tt350z]

Here's the tool chest. I catch no flak from my wife for buying Milwaukee stuff. She grew up about 45 minutes from Milwaukee so she loves all things Wisconsin.

Yes, there's a Craftsman cordless in there... For now.

Shh... don't tell her it's not made in Milwaukee/Brookfield anymore!

I actually agree, I like the Vapors. The reason I loved the one95 was the blade, I wanted the X:60 with the one95 blade soo bad but I couldn't find the "SE" with my pattern.

I was able to demo/review the Warrior QR1 last year for Warrior, you might like that stick too, it kicks like a mule, though the admission price is pretty high, I ended up buying two QR1s...and now I'm wondering why I'm willing to spend $200 for a hockey stick(and don't get me started on gloves) but I'm cheap as hell when buying tools I use everyday.

Sorry for the minor thread derail but it's not often you find fellow hockey players on a non-hockey forum.

Nice! M12 tends to be really easy to expand 'cause tools and kits are relatively inexpensive.

What's the promo at HD? I know they tend to run alot of promos, but wasn't aware of any going on right now.

Here you go.The promotion ends Oct 7th.I wasnt aware of it either until I was in the store and seen the sign over the display

I know you weren't talking to me but I will answer. I have a lot of Milwaukee tools. M18 and M12 both. My 3/8 right angle impact is the only one I don't like. It is just too weak to do me any good.

Don't buy a M12 vac if you don't want to dislike another one.

 

[kxlexus]

I will take your word on that!

 

[JettaGetUpandGo]

Don't buy a M12 vac if you don't want to dislike another one.

I have the M12 vac and don't have any major complaints with it. It's not very good, but I looked at it as comparable to a Shark or one of the other rechargeable cordless vacuums. Using M12 batteries that I already have a collection of is a huge bonus.

I use it fairly regularly to vacuum up wood chips around my guinea pig's cage when she kicks them out. It works well for that. In the workshop area I have a normal shop vac, so I don't need this there.

 

[hoston23]

if your going to buy the vac, get the m18 and buy a 5.0 battery. best thing ive ever purchased. I love it most out of all my mikwaukee stuff. I have the m12 vac, but it is hard for those hard to reach places

 

[kctyphoon]

i have the m18 vac, its great for small projects and cleaning the car's floor mats.. used it a week ago to hook into the dust collector of my miter saw to help keep the dust down while making cuts in the house.

 

[johnbennetch]

My ONLY complaint is that the optional handle on the drill cannot be moved to all sorts of positions like on the dewalt..where it slides on the ring. Don't even ask me how good the 1/2 impact is.

I would like to know how strong the 3/8 ratchet is.

 

[tt350z]

My buddy has the 3/8 ratchet. It wasn't strong enough to break loose the bolts on a Chevy L76 coil packs (torque spec is 106 Inch/LBS). However, the motor would hold the drive in place for you to manually break torque like a conventional ratchet and than it would spin it off.

 

[Caparris]

I have the ratchet and like it a lot--it isn't hugely powerful, but I've leaned on it pretty hard breaking stuff loose then you can run bolts out or in real quick with it

 

[Ign]

Why do people think power ratchets that don't impact are supposed to break fasteners free under power? Unless its an impacting ratchet you don't WANT that; the tool has a mechanical lever advantage on you = busted knuckles.

 

[JettaGetUpandGo]

I have the 3/8" ratchet and honestly hardly use it. Instead I'll use the 1/4" hex impact with an adapter. If there isn't room for that I typically move onto a hand ratchet because the the M12 ratchet is too large to fit in most spaces.

Yeah the 3/8" ratchet is a little weak I end up having to turn it manually to break the seal and finally it can turn on it's own.

 

[TS3g]

Not sure how I'm just seeing this thread, but here's what I have in M18s:

2602-20 1/2" Hammer/Drill Driver
2650-20 Impact Driver
2645-20 Jigsaw
2620-20 Sawzall
2663-20 1/2" Drive Impact Wrench
2630-20 6-1/2" Circular Saw

Plus a plethora of XC and 4.0 XC batteries. None of them are FUEL, but I bought them all before the FUEL line came out. These are all still going strong though, so I'll keep'em until they die, then replace them

There are no "Fuel" batteries. They're all the same, just different sizes; XC, 4.0, etc.

 

[FOCUS.FREAK]

I need more batterys. I need at least 2, But they are all so expensive. Any other deals anywhere I'm might look into?

 

[Atlasunit22]

hot out of the store the other day and into my tool box at work. talking about tool box at work, that's for tomorrow

 

[Ricoch3T]

Just bought and arrived yesterday.. The new 3/8" impact wrench (2754) and went ahead and bought the 1/2" impact bare tool with it. Hoping they work good as I've only had experience with the first gen dewalts and the IR 1/2".

I know, I meant the tools are not FUEL

Check craigslist. I've bought three M18 4.0 batteries for $50 each, brand new, still in the package. Took a few weeks to find them local, but they pop up every few days. They usually post for about $70, but cash is king!

 

[87slosohc]

Probably could of found everything cheaper online somewhere. But instant gratification won over with the Home Depot promo on m12 stuff, glad to see the 3/8 ratchet is weak before I decided to purchase it. Will probably add the fuel 3/8 impact wrench soon.

Fuel 1/2" hammer drill+"free" 1/4 non fuel impact driver=$179+tax
Non fuel hackzall+"free" xc 4.0 battery=$129+tax
$308+tax ended up with 3 tools, 2 xc4.0 bats, 1 2.0 bat, 1 1.6 bat and 2 30 minute chargers.

 

[bradley8795]

Picked up these last night off CL. Paid $60.

And some wonder why prices are so high.

Why buy what is almost certainly stolen?
