And I made up for buying a Bosch rotary hammer - I gave away a never used 18v Dewalt xrp hammer drill and about 6 18v batteries that I last tested or charged in 2014 to someone at work... now if I can only figure out what to do with all the old Bosch 18v stuff that's sitting in my closet........
I'll.never use it again, but I dunno if I can bring myself to toss the 7.2v Dewalt Screwdriver I still have... That little thing drywalled most of my house and I gotta say that thing was great.
If I had half a brain and some motivation I woulda started a contracting company years ago. I have enough **** laying around to tool up a small company with ease. It's not normal to have a cement mixer in your basement.

Good to hear. I had used it a little bit on Sunday and it did everything I asked of it.
Friend was just saying other day how good his little Dewalt 7.2 was, he is in a pickle cause his pre M4 little screw driver charger no longer works and think he lost the Dewalt. Needs something like that for a job soon. Said wish Milwaukee would come out with a M4 replacement ASAP on new USB platform, especially since Bosch just released one.

Dewalt made a BIG mistake in my mind by not just upgrading that 7.2 screwdriver. For its day, it was PERFECT.. They should have just made it Lithium, maybe some led lights.. instead they come out with that STUPID 8v gyroscopic mess... the 7.2 was nice and strong, built like a tank, small, light, articulating.. great GREAT tool.
Actually ya know what.. Imma buy a cheap aftermarket battery for it.. lol

It’s amazing to me all the different tools and colors of the European Milwaukee tools.

New Milwaukee lights at Walmart, only $5.... lol.... Couldnt resist for $5, as my friend said at least they are the right color, penlights not bad. On the penlight theres a cheap mag on the clip and the clip swivels side to side, more thought into design than the M18 new rover haha.

Anyone have the part number for the dust bag that comes with the 10" miter saw ?
I want to pick up another one for my circular saw so i dont have to keep switching them, but cannot find the part number online anymore

Would anybody be interested in a 2767-20 with a boot? I used it once to rotate two tires. I also have the mid torque and can't possibly see why I will need both. I don't have the original box but still have the paperwork that came with it. I think I'd need $250 shipped but may be open to offers. PM me if interested.
Well my M18 Impact Driver has like 150ft/lbs. I learned REAL quick to not use it with cheap bits. I've destroyed several bits by forgetting to put it down to power mode 2 or 1. Not like slightly dinged, it's straight up put a full spiral twist into a few of my bits and broken a dozen others clean off. That's why they have the different settings though.
It's nice to be able to put in a 3/8" drive to hex adapter if I only have my driver handy. I only use the shorter Milwaukee ones though, the actual hex shank is shorter so it's less likely to twist or break.

Are the chargers covered under the 5yr warranty?
Yes, though not sure if they are eligible for eservice.

Got my 2553 today, it sure is tiny. 110ft/lbs. That's crazy
Man they nailed it with the gen 2 M12 Fuel stuff. Can't get over it!

If they do an M18 jigsaw with a light on it, I'm sold. Doesn't even need to be brushless at this point haha.

Is it not listed in that particular tool's parts breakdown PDF on their website?

Does it get as loud as the first gen? Got rid of the first gen because the M18 surge was the same size and so much quieter.
But I won't mind picking up the second gen if it's quieter or equivalent as the surge.

It might be a tad bit quieter than Gen 1 but it will never be as quiet as the surge as that is powered by hydraulics.

Re: The Milwaukee addiction thread!
Agree, I have the original M12 Fuel impact and the new M18 Surge Hydraulic impact. Had really hoped the new M12 was going to be hydraulic powered smaller version of the Surge M18. Once you use the Surge its hard to pick up the older style and use it. Seems so out of date and crude.
I am hoping they build a smaller M12 Surge and a larger M18 high torque Surge and am keeping my gen one versions for now until they do.

Can someone explain how Milwaukee uses hydraulics in a small cordless tool. Is Hydraulics not a fluid base for moving rams and stuff ?
Thanks

It's just an oil pulse. Search for that, probably w term Makita. They were early in this market. It's not really like a continuous hydraulic flow that moves rams

I believe Ave tears one apart in one of his reviews. I think it's the Ridgid model but I assume technology is similar.

Used my Fastback knife today for trimming a rubber mat. It worked great! No more box cutter or carpet knifes for me.
Re: The Milwaukee addiction thread!
It really is amazing how much better the surge is I haven’t come across a screw it wont drive and I think if I have a lag bolts it won’t drive that will be the excuse I need to buy a mid torque.

The way the surge works is it applies a smaller amount of force, but for a longer duration of time. It's best suited for smaller and medium sized fasteners, not any thing large.
Define large I’ve driven 4” #10 construction screws very fast with mine. Like I said anything larger than that will probably have a hex head on it and then I will buy a mid torque to drive those.

I guess large would be defined by how big you can go before the tool obviously struggles.. the regular impact driver has higher torque specs.

50% less lighting (2000 vs 4000 lumens) nets you 50% less price.
