I have the 3.5" folding Hardline, and I couldn't bring myself to spend $79 on that either.. instead I found one on eBay without retail packing for $40. I don't know about this new one, but the other Hardline models are serious knives. The D2 steel blades are something you will find on some brands costing well over $100...


I have a 3” folding hardline knife myself and I love it.

Yea I finally managed to break off the very tip cause I was using it to try to pry up a steel handhold cover.. stupid on my part I know, but it was cold out and the truck was a block away.. the edge retention on the Hardline knives are great though.

I got mine with the flashlight combo. I’m not sure whether I like the flashlight or knife more.

I can see why there is 595 pages of addiction...:beer:

I started out with the M12 fuel 3/8 impact and after using it the other day, I decided to go ahead and grab the Milwaukee 2767-22 M18 1/2" impact during the eBay 10% promo and 10% eBay bucks promotion.

It's a slippery slope...

M12 jobsite Bluetooth speaker (the small one) w/ charger and battery - $79

https://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwauk...ireless-Jobsite-Speaker-Kit-2592-21/300641401

Always a good deal...I use mine extensively

The 2353 M12 spotlight has free 3.0 XC battery offer

https://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwauk...0|22037|D25T&dclid=CLH83bSyiNgCFZdANwodr98CmQ

I might get one for a friend this Holiday to complement the 2362 lantern I got for her a couple years ago. She already has an M12 charger (one I donated so no biggie deal there )

Her grandson likes the lantern for camping probably will love having a spotlight too! :D

Anyone have the m18 mitre saw? Im not so sure i want a tool that big on battery power.

HD has the mitre saw with (2) 9.0 batteries for the same price as the 12" bosch axial glide sliding compound saw. Or 10" bosch for $549.

I love the m18 mitre saw. Did a ton of vinyl siding and soffits this year along with countless 2x material cuts. My 12” dewalt is collecting dust ever since.

Does anyone have the transfer pump yet? Looking for something to pump out used hydraulic oil.

from the owner's manual:

This pump has been evaluated for use with clear water only. It is not designated to handle salt water, brine, laundry discharge, or any other application which may contain caustic chemicals and/or foreign material.

https://documents.milwaukeetool.com/58-14-0049d4.pdf

it consistently mentions water, and nothing else. i have a feeling that it is not designed for use hydraulic fluid . . . . .

Yeah i saw that (heh). If i didnt already have the fuel circ saw i would be all over it.

Any clue if i buy it instore, do they honor the free battery or is it online/shipped to you only?

It’s a shame it’s just bluetooth and not a radio too.

I might be replacing mine soon.. it lives on the dashboard of my company van and I link it to my phone when using the Wayz app instead of linking it to the cars audio so I can leave the radio on and still listen to directions.. lately it keeps losing the Bluetooth signal which is getting more and more annoying..

My experience has been no, they won't honor it.
I didnt think so. Oh well. :D

Bought my wife a wolf oven yesterday, so she shouldn't mind the extra christmas gift she just bought me. :)

I'm trying to find some sort of angle or excuse I can use to justify buying the new Milwaukee bolt cutters for work.. hard after I just made them replace all their old ones with Ridgids.

I'm glad you were able to make it all work out! Now you can spend the extra $150 on some other tools [emoji16]

I had a cheap 10" miter saw (non-slide) I use for framing and related things. It fell off of my scissor lift and broke. I picked up the Milwaukee for $599 from HD with the free Fuel circular saw. While Menards was running their 11% rebate. Sold the circular saw for $175, batteries for $120 a piece, bringing it to $184. Plus got a $66 gift card.

Well let's hope for the best..

If you can find another brand and Milwaukee can release an M18 jump pack or inflator it'll be a good holiday season.

Well Hopefully part of your holiday wish will come true... I know other people’s tool choices has a detrimental effect on you, Good Luck and Happy Holidays.

Where is the best place to get M12 batteries? I may need some M18 batteries too, but I'll know for sure after the holidays.

Nah, just don't like when people push the most expensive brands on earth to college kids likely taking out student loans to buy said tools. We can't all sell marked up seal kits online :spit:, but yes - happy holidays.

Anyways..

If all my santas deliver this year, I THINK the string trimmer, blower, cooler, heat gun, pick and hook set, and MAYBE the Packout system MIGHT show up.. ya know, all red for the holiday season this year. I have a sneaking suspension a Mossberg Shockwave might make an appearance too.. (as if I needed more guns)

eBay, or Amazon usually.. or here. Lots of guys always selling stuff.. you can resort to aftermarket if you want real cheap batteries.. I bought one from Powerextra, and it fits perfect, works ok - but the cell capacities are over rated, and the one i bought - the numbers came back as cells made in North Korea. I'm not a huge COO guy, but evens that's too much for me to swallow..

I messaged the seller and said I was tempted to relist his battery on eBay with the FULL information about the batteries attached to the ad, and they sent my money back..

These are NOT lg cells like the letters would make you think. The cases themselves might as well be factory Milwaukee though. The fit and finish is absolutely perfect, so I have to at least give em that much. Best bet is to stay with real Milwaukee batteries. Better cells, and a 3yr warranty on them is worth the extra few $$ to most people. I won't buy anymore aftermarket.
With all the holiday sales, battery prices online will be cheap for a while with so many of these guys buying kits in volume and splitting them up for sale.
