I've been a sheet metal worker for 17 yrs and both my father and grandfather were sheet metal workers and I've never seen a double cut that was designed to cut curves.

Both Trumpf and Fein have one.
Actually, the Fein uses the Trumpf cutting head attached to a Fein built motor.
The auxiliary blade allows cutting of curves down to ~3" radius at a slightly reduced capacity compared to the standard straight cutting blade.
The Trumpf has a built-in cutting device for the tail left at a blind stop and the Fein doesn't have that feature.
Both companies have a cordless version.
23 ga pin nailer would be ideal.

I forgot about that one.
When I looked around, the Draco was much more difficult to get hold of for me in the USA.

DeWalt has one, so I can't see Milwaukee ignoring this segment for too much longer.

I asked for an M18 Fuel hammer (to replace air powered .401 shank air hammer). My chiropractor has a few AC converted DC powered guns that she uses to tendorize my back. It has nylon drivers in different shapes, it does have a chuck on it but it uses a different shank. The think is adjustable in regards to force.
I'd love to be able to replace my air hammer with a cordless unit.

I thought the same thing, but I asked a Milwaukee rep and he said that although it's a very common request, he didn't think they have one in the works.

I finally broke down and gave up waiting for a fuel version of the m18 jigsaw.. Was trying to decide between the m12 and m18, but for $30 you get a MUCH more capable saw with the m18.. Been wanting a cordless jigsaw for years, and decided to go for it yesterday. Haven't used it yet, and it probably won't get used a lot, but I'm kinda impressed with the look and feel of it so far.

I'm still holding out for the fuel versions.... I'll let you know if it's worth it or not!
LOL... me too... my corded Bosch will have to serve all my jigsaw needs since I dumped all my Ryobi tools last year which included my cordless jigsaw.
If Fuel M12 & M18 Jigsaws are released I will prolly buy them both, they should make a combo kit of both them just for me.

Got perhaps the best deal on a new red tool today, previous best was a new Fuel Sawzall in box for $75. Picked up the new Fuel 1/2 Impact 2763 for $75. Has a few scuffs because the guy kept it in his jobsite bag so he had when a buyer came along. Now I just have to sell my old 2663. Surprised the Fuel one is pretty much the same size as the old one.

Nice, that is a good price for sure
I'm on a roll, picked up the 2796 One Key kit brand new for $225! Already sold my 2704 for $100. Need to decide if I am keeping the OK 1/4 Hex Impact or the 2753 I already have. Never thought I would get OK but price was too good to be true, dont know if I will even ever use the OK features much.
Surprised the OK kit doesnt come with the new multivolt rapid charger, gee for $500 and released only a few months ago you think it would.
The OK Hammer Drill is confusing, you have the collar selector for drill, screw, hammer, and then OK. High & low speed switch. The a 1-4 + OK button similar to whats on the 2753/2754. The 1-4 + OK only works if its in OK mode on the collar, dk what all the customization that can be done with it.

Those of you who are using your Milwaukee impacts and ratchets to do automotive work, how are you cleaning them? I was working on a vehicle today with the typical caked on oily grime everywhere, everything I touched got filthy.
Simple green seems to work well for me. But I am just a home diy.
Ballistol works really well.
I use WD40 sometimes.
To quote the Milwaukee manual, it says to use mild soap and water only. Do not use; gas, turpentine, lacquer thinner, paint thinner, chlorinated solvents, ammonia, or detergents containing ammonia. Nothing combustible.

I just use warm water and dawn to clean tools... Would be nice if they made a rubber boot for the ratchet and ALL the other power tools as well..

I also used Simple Green. Very safe on the surface.

I've had good luck using goo gone on really dirty ones. Takes grease right off--probably not the best to use all the time though. Dawn is probably a better choice, if it's strong enough

That was my first one as well. I expect you'll like it

Thats my very first one as well. It is great around the garage. I am looking to replace my cordless impacts since my Craftsman 3/8 cordless impact gave up. The bad thing is I rarely used it.

LOL. Got me some tree plantings to be done and ordered me a auger bit to break up the soil a bit. I've got every Red under the moon, but was missing that Super Hawg. M18 Super Hawg on it's way !
All of my reading at this point (which is a bit unreasonable to be honest) gives me the impression that the Milwaukee hand tools are good value for the money. Not a Made-in-USA "patriotool," but sturdy and generally well designed. Their screwdrivers and bits have a reputation for being a bit soft, but that's the only common complaint I've seen.
For those who like a good deal. Home Depot has the M12 fuel kit with a free 4.0 battery. Most Home Depots have the kit for $269.00 even online. For those lucky one some Home Depots have the kit on clearance for $135! And still qualifies for the free battery.
I just added the M12 fuel to my collection.
I found a store that had a kit at $135, bought the kit and got the free battery, returned the free battery for $53 refund and the kit ended up costing $90 after tax.

Recent Milwaukee Haul. I topped out on all Milwaukee as I get everything....impacts, portaband, sawzall, SDS, etc.
So I started buying extra toys...
The last 45 days haul. Two M18 Lantern (the one that has a plug), M18 Forcelogic KO kit, and the M18 Super Hawg. Got me 2 nailers just waiting to be shipped
