Never be afraid to ask for a disc even if you already ordered and paid, lesson 1.

No problem them reducing the 89 to match the one I also ordered from the store at $72, considering one was floor model would not of accepted anything less. So 3 cabinets for $210 plus tax. 2 to be mounted above Milwaukee 60", need to find a good spot in the house for the other.

Theres multiple posts on the forum of guys looking for these and cant find them local and Lowes site wont let them order, and here you are scooping up three at once lol

I see the M12 vac as a house vac not shop or garage. I think its on par with my B&D 20v lithium one for house tasks.

The one Milwaukee I would not recommend is the M12 hand held vacuum. It doesnt have as much suction as i was hoping. The only plus side for me is it uses the M12 battery.

 

[dacan23]

Last I checked there was one in Abbington MA and a bunch around CT.... All to far for me plus 3 is all I need lol. Found the perfect spot in the living room, its a wall 34" wide and I have 2 shelves there now, gonna remove one and theres an outlet right below.

It's f'n terrible. Don't know how Milwaukee let it out the door. Everyone avoid this one. Certainly not what you'd expect from Milwaukee.

In other news I saw the M18 water pump in action the other day. Very impressed. Although in fairness it was being supplied from a full 400 gal tank so I suppose gravity was helping it.

The wacker kit that got you a freebie is backordered till at leaat Sept, so nothing that helps you now. One site said sold out for the season, dk what that means. Perhaps there will be a deal on the bare tool wacker in August.

Anywhere to get them for less then 200$?

I use it daily for dog hair around the edges or my hardwood floors.I have a corgi
And he sheds like a sumbitch.It works great for those kind of tasks

 

[dacan23]

At first I was in agreement which is why I sold my first one when I got the M18 teacup, then I wanted something to use upstairs for kids and I have so many M12 batteries.

My recommendation for Milwaukee vac is the M18 box wet/dry or nothing, of which I have 2 lol... Now thats the vac I want beefed up and Fueled, better yet be able to draw more power from a 9.0!

I pull up hill with mine around a 12 ft lift maybe a little more thru 50ft of 5/8" garden hose.

Head is minimal maybe 4 ft (I'm holding a watering hose ) but the run is a full 100ft of hose. If I put my thumb over the end of the hose and still create a decent amount of spray pressure . Volume movement is very good even over all that distance considering how tiny it really is!

That tea cup one isn't a heck of better than the M12 IMO


They should do an M18 alomg the lines of the M12 design, The battery could go below the handle make the canister a bit larger bigger fan/motor.

I still think a lot has to do with with the filter and the pickup tube diameter.

Still don't quite understand why my corded dirt devil performs much better for being the about th same size and only pulls 1.25 amps. Filter is lot different though.

Just used my M12 vac on that little display shelf project for work along with the fan (dang is it humid today), the M12 hackzall to do demolition cuts, the M18 blower to clean the sawdust out of my garage been raining so I had to run my table saw and miter saw inside.

Plus the new BT speaker and the M18 Fuel drill a little bit but only used that because it the handiest one to grab still had a bit holder in it

I need a cordless belt sander

Just got a 2402 screwdriver. This is the second 24xx tool that had died on the 3-4 trigger pull. My 3/8" impact driver died and now this.

Pull the battery out... put it back in... it will become "undead"

i have one. i find it great for running around cleaning up the dog hair and stock like that. it runs forever on a 4AH battery.

my complaint is that the filter is so large it fills up pretty quickly.

yeah, got to admit i am getting pretty jealous. when i first saw it i was marginally impressed. but now i see my use for it, and i can't get it.

i wonder why they won't ship them to stores around here (boston, or, as the locals say, bahstan)?

 

[ptgarcia]

They won't ship them to SoCal, either.

 

[dacan23]

Order the 1 left in your area at Abington and go pick it up. You could get it for $80 with a $20 off $100 coupon.

If someone really wants the cabinet go to your Lowes, was just in a store that online showed 0 and there was 1 in the tool aisle, guy pulled up local inventory and other stores that showed 0 had stock too.

[kctyphoon]

Don't know where some guys get there lowes coupons, but a great option is also eBay. For like $1 you can buy current working "online only" promo codes that get auto emailed to you within 3 minutes.. I've used this option a few times..

 

[icu2tsx]

M12 underhood light and M18 fan are amazing. I do not know how I lived without them. They make working in a stifling, dark garage not just doable, but a pleasure. Got a DCT and Oil cooler installed tonight with them, along with M12 impact and 3/8 ratchet.

All this fan talk got me hyped up. I went today to get one. Long story short. Computer system went down. Long *** line. Asked cashier nicely for a 10% discount for being a patient patron, she said she could do better!

Nice little fan. Would recommend.

 

[dacan23]

Dont know whats been happening, many listings have been pulled, my last time I never got them, but theres a site where I have bought in the past.

You can get Lowes coupons in a few places on the net. Slickdeals has a thread and there are a few websites.

Hey guys I have the Milwaukee tool chest, where can I get pegs to fit the steel pegboard??

What Milwaukee had to send me because my new 52 bench only had 3 wheels in the box, and if you didnt know it has 4 wheels unlike the 6 on the 60.

So you went from not having enough castors for 1 to more than enough for 2?

 

[dacan23]

Same place you got it or anywhere.

Since its metal I prefer magnet accessories, cleared out Lowes long ago when the clearanced the red torin stuff.

Hey does anyone have any opinions on the m12 vacuum? I hear it doesn't have much suction but it's ok with the thin nozzle attachment. Is it worth a damn? I mean it's only $60, will it at least work for cleaning up the car? Dog hair and what not. And if the filter gets clogged is it just simple to pull it out and blow it off or shake it out?

[dacan23]

Unreal situation, they do not have a parts list for 52, so they have to use the 60 list, casters dont have individual part numbers so you can only order the whole set.

Trading 2 swivels to friend for 2 fixed plus future considerations as he wants all swivels on his 60..

HD deal of the day, M18 brushless hammer drill impact kit with 4.0/2.0 and free M18 hacksaw for $229. Dacan rates this deal 2.5 stars out of 5.... 3 stars if you can get 10% off..

man, all you people who can just let your stuff sit out and not worry about it walking away . . . . . i wonder what that is like. . . . . .

yep, does a great job at those kinds of things, at least for me.

when you remove the "cup", the filter is just right there. i just bang the casing against the side of the plastic barrel, and all the **** and dust drops off into the barrel.

if you are going that "dawg hair thang", remember to look in the cup to make sure that the flap at the bottom isn't clogged with hair. i have had that happen a time or two. if it is, when you put it back together, remove the tube, and tap it against the barrel. usually there is hair in there also.

I bought the M12 vac for our toy hauler, it performs well for its intended purpose which is cleaning up dirt and debris off of beds, counters, and the floor. Personally the only vac I will use in my shop are plug-in wet dry vacs.

I swear its the HEPA filter on that M12 vac. Drop off the debris canister and put your hand against the vac without the filter on...there is quite a bit of suction. Enough to pull your hand up tight against it.

But put the whole thing back together its like 50% of it disappears!

My m12 jigsaw arrived today... tad bulkier than I remember from my Milwaukee fondle this event b4 fathers day.
