Ugg I had to look that up Air Dragon online (I don't have commercial television
)I would wonder if it even last one tire
Ryobi has something similar P737 I cant really imagine holding a trigger for any length of time though
I could be more interested in a small portable cordless unit maybe something like the Ryobi P371.
Pro Tool just did a review on it. Claims it can make 3psi a minute
But even better would be actual compressor like the new cordless Ridgid compressor that was first linked to a few pages back
I guess we can only wish
I sincerely hope Milwaukee doesn't lower their standards

The Nextec inflator is surprisingly decent considering it has no choice but to work with a 1.3ah 12V battery. They just need to replicate this but on steroids and M18. Duty cycle will be important here, it should not overheat or lock up.
For contractors it needs to be able to take something like a 245/75/16 from zero (or near zero) to at least 60psi, preferably more.
Not sure how anyone can claim 3psi a minute? PSI is solely dependent on volume. CFM or CFH are flow rates and unaffected by volume.

Guess the inflation spec in lbs was his personal usage of on a specific tire 
There is hyper link to that review in my earlier post. I'm slightly wary of small DC inflators. I remember smoking one on a truck tire once. And actually I still have a new one down in the garage bought to replacement the burned up one. It's never been used.
So took the 2891 BT speaker outdoors today and streamed music to while I was digging my trailer out of 3 ft snow drift. I was actually surprised and satisfied how loud it was just slightly below max. Even walked a few 100ft down my long driveway and could still easily hear it playing. Despite its shortcomings obviously the price but most notably the lack of any wall mounting features plus no storage compartment for your devices and also having no FM tuner (geez even the $29.00 Sunex speaker I also got thru ACME has an FM mode)
Battery life has been good with 1.5 or 2.0 M12 but have yet to try an M18 battery. I did notice if you don't manually power it off even with the music stopped it still runs down the battery.

Has anyone warrantied heated gear? Milwaukee e-service says its not eligible for that method, called Acme they have no clue, have had a hard time getting in touch with Milwaukee CS, did the call me back thing and never got a call. Whats the process? Milwaukee's center is 45 min away, 3rd party servicers closer.

Funny I feel the same way. Even more so because I thought that Milwaukee should have something like that before I ever saw the air dragon.

So other than one post about the new blower, does anybody have anything good to say about it?

I love it. I'm comparing it to my 24cc hitachi gas hand blower. I think some guys are expecting the performance of a 70cc backpack blower out of an 18v hand blower. I've run a handfull of packs thru it and couldn't be happier. More than enough power to blow out the garage, blow off the driveway, ect. I even made some decent leaf piles with it. No, it doesn't compare to my commercial redmax backpack blower, but for everything other than doing fall leaf cleanups, this will be my go to blower. It's deceivingly powerful because it's so quiet. It's also really nice to blow something off quick and not stink like mixed gas.
I also tested out my m18 fuel hedge trimmer yesterday. Great balance, just as powerful and fine cutting as my commercial gas model. Best part is it's super quiet and you don't stink like mixed gas after.
Only item I haven't used yet is the string trimmer.

Yes, twice. Great service both times.
E-service just means they won't pay shipping to them, so ship it on your own dime with a note explaining what it's doing and I'd probably provide a copy of your receipt as I don't think they can tell date of manufacture on the heated gear? Maybe?
I always shipped to an actual Milwaukee repair center, not a third party contractor.

I like the M18 FUEL blower. Works better than my Ridgid 18V. I do think they marketed it as being a little more powerful than it is but it works great for me. I also think it should be a little cheaper than the $149 for the normal bare tool price.
I used the string trimmer on Thursday and it's great. Kept it on low the whole time and it chewed through our weeds and stuff no problem. Battery was at 1 bar after about 45 or so minutes. Fed string perfectly. I'm more impressed with the trimmer than the blower. The trimmer met or exceeded my expectations and the blower was slightly below my expectations. All in all, with the ACME discount I got plus no tax, I'm a happy camper. I almost wish I had bigger bushes so I could justify the hedge trimmer.

I had to warranty one of my 3 hoodies. They kept it for a week, determined it was defective, and gave me a new hoodie. They told me they don't fix them because it's not worth the time.

I posted earlier that I didn't think I was going to be real impressed with the blower, however I hadn't really "used" it. Well this evening I used it to clean up some chain saw dust from a few tree branches that I had trimmed into firewood lengths. Though I don't feel it will be a good contender for fall time leave cleanup, I feel it will be just fine for cleaning off the driveway after mowing or using the string trimmer. I'll have a much better feel for it in a few months, when the grass finally starts growing again...
Home Depot has them here in Canada, imagine the same is true down south.
The SKU is 48-20-8857. It was $26 CAD/ $20 USD

What's the going rate for the Milwaukee 2453-20 M12 Fuel 1/4 Hex Impact Driver bare tool? I have a 1/4" hitachi 12v that I have had for many years and has served me well, but I have so many M12 and M18 tools now that I think I want to grab the 1/4" Fuel impact also. Is it worth it?

List price has always been $119
I've seen as low as $60-$65 Amazon/Ebay bare tool advertised as new.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00BYFNHK0/ref=dp_olp_all_mbc?ie=UTF8&condition=all
CPO has recons for $94...go figure!

The 2453 is damn potent for what it is. I accidentally snapped a new Gr8 1/4-20 bolt with it. Granted, that's not THAT impressive but it shows it's not gutless. Maybe I should try a similar destructive test on a Gr8 5/16-18.....

Thanks guys. I was looking at those on Amazon listed as new. I think it's time to jump on one for just under $65 and fulfilled by Amazon.

Just Remember Amazon is not considered an authorized Milwaukee reseller.
I do not know if that effects warranty or not don't know if it would stop me from buying there

Usually if it's not an authorized re-seller the warranty date starts when the tool was manufactured instead of when it was sold
Just received my mid torque impact. Man it's a big difference size wise from big one. Now my wrist won't get as tired. Can't wait to start using it. I have a feeling the big ones going to get used less. Now I just need two more 5.0 batteries.
