The Milwaukee addiction thread! :)

[DFB]

Just seen the link to this video in an email...


Covers a few of the innovations with open tool breakdowns like the M12 drill, the new FUEL hackzall. the new High Torque impact wrench, and explains what the the blow count feature is meant to do, And reviews some accessories like the torch blades too.

Purchased this M18 Fuel Rotary Drill for my dad not too long ago but he doesn't really have any use for it. I don't own any M18 stuff so looks like it will be going up for sale or would possibly trade for some M12 Fuel stuff.

I'm not sure if your interested but I have this bare tool new if you want to swap?

I can get a picture when I get home but it's brand new (no box)

 

[nmcqueen469]

That 52" box is intriguing. Is $498 a solid price for it?

I just got back from HD... played with that 52" box... the drawers don't open all the way... that bothered me.

It was smooth and seemed sturdy but the dead space in the back of each drawer was a disturbing design flaw.

 

[jfranci3]

These were rolling the aisles of HD. There was a dude assembling 3 of them in the main asile.

 

[dacan23]

Supposedly the normal price is $598, it will only go up when the 60" goes back to $698. I am getting the 52 this week using a $50 coupon.

I got the $299 kit and free hedge trimmer last week, also got 10% off! After I sell the pieces the net cost to me of the hedger will be $20.

I feel like $299 is a good price of that kit too, the kit with 2x5.0s cheapest was $349 with freebie. I dont think 5.0 over 2.0 is worth the extra $50.

i will note that it sez "free trimmer, blower, or battery with select milwaukee tool kits". it doesnt say that the 299$ kit is one of them, although it would be a reasonable assumption.

good luck selling the string trimmer. I've been posting mine on craigslist for 3 weeks now with no hits

He's selling the drill/impact combo kit and keeping the hedge trimmer. There is no reference to string trimmer in his post.

 

[dacan23]

Yup the 2897-22CX

Got 2 Miter Saws with 2x9.0s each for $340 after tax, will be interesting how the bare saw sells

Where'd you find that deal?

 

[dacan23]

Most HD stores have it on clearance for $350, though I know one store with 2 at 599 still. I got disc on top of the 350.

Where'd you find that deal?

 

[Jamie V]

Not up here in NJ

 

[bigtim1985]

You're talking about the m18 fuel 10" saw? That's quite a deal if so. Especially with (2) 9.0 batteries.

 

[Jamie V]

I just got my M12 underhood light from Nick on FB. With an initial test it works nice.

 

[DFB]

^^^

Cool!

13500 lumens must be plenty bright enough

Looks it anyhow in the photo

Is there just 2 light settings or 3 ?


Whats your opinion on the clamping system

 

[Jamie V]

2 settings

The clamping setup is very nice (but I've never owned an underhood light to compare to)

 

[a52-830]

nor Nath of Basthan either.

 

[Caparris]

Looks awfully bright!

My wife got me the 2861-20 mid torque 1/2 impact for my birthday. I was looking at the 2763-20 high torque. I want something to take with me to change a tire if needed. Am I going to wish I had more torque?

Probably not. If it makes you feel better, the Gen2 High Torque will be coming out later this year. The Mid Torque "will do" for now

What are your lug nuts torqued to? After we know this, we can answer your question.

LOL...My Silverado's are at 140ft/lbs. The Mid Torque barely had to work taking them off.

 

[dacan23]

I had a few lugs smashed on by the dealer that my 2763 couldnt take off, if you didnt tighten them personally nothing may help lol. Of course I do and when a car on rare occassions is at the dealer and they take off a rim, I remove and retorque myself. Heck most the Fuel hex impacts M12 and M18 can take off lugs properly tightened to 100lbs or less.

[dacan23]

Few stores around me either have stock or not at 599, some no stock at 350, rare finds in stock at 350. Hope to price adj further within 30 days.

Yes the M18 Fuel 10" miter promo box with two 9.0s.

[DFB]

Guess I never had put both the M18 9.0 and M12 4.0 batteries into a standard dual voltage charger together before...wow Milwaukee got pretty lucky there about a fraction of inch to spare if that!

But they do fit ok and can actually touch together.

 

[JettaGetUpandGo]

Be careful. They may start multiplying!

Dang did anyone notice yesterday's Acme fathers day deal, M18 teacup vac for 89 with a free 4.0!

 

[dacan23]

LOL, I think I can top that

Yup!

FYI, the new 52" workbemch fits in an X5 on its side/face not on the pallet with seats folded down

 

[dacan23]

Oops double post, anyways its comparably heavy as 60", 370lbs

Thanks, I was curious if my X6 would hold that bad boy

 

[dacan23]

It might not, though depends on how far forward front seats were. Box is 55x38x25. I prolly could of fit it if 60 long, the X6 rear has a sharper angle, corners might hit the glass.
