I have been hunting for prices so far I've only found the price for the brushless 7 1/4 saw, the fuel vac, and the jigsaws

Without going back through almost 700 pages, has anyone bought/reviewed the Milwaukee blower?

I have a small suburban lot and use a Toro corded blower at least twice a week. Blow out the shop, yard clean up after mowing, etc. Wondering if it would last long enough on full power setting (assuming it has multiple settings)?

So what are the prices that you do have?

Fuel Vac:$299 bare tool
$449 w/9.0ah

Brushless(Not Fuel) 7.25" circ saw:$179 bare tool

Fuel Jigsaw:$199 bare tool(idk about that though, seems high to me even for Milwaukee)

I heard the stubby impacts were gonna be $139 but the other guy said $159 for the 3/8 & 1/2"

Nice! [emoji106]

So whats the deal just all BATTERY and no AC cord option?

I'll ask again why One Key too?
Click to expand...
I actually love the functionality of One-Key, I think its invaluable on a lot of tools but I dont really get this one. I guess maybe it's like having a VFD for the saw

I have the first gen version. On the 9AH battery I can blow, on high, my whole yard/house after mowing without stopping. That's the front porch, sidewalks, street, driveway, garage, back porch, back walkway, and back canopy area. We have a 14K sqft corner lot, so two sidewalks and street areas. Only real complaint is that it could use a little more power to blow out the edged area along the grass/sidewalks. It has two levels low and high.
I also have the weedeater, so I weedeat first, go put the battery on charge, then mow. By the time I'm done the battery has recharged. I do have two 9.0's though, in case I need to break out the sawzall for pruning or the hedgeclipper.

Wonder if the socket works with the according wrench size, say you have a 14mm socket, would you use a 14mm wrench, If they did it that way it would be pretty innovative

Doesn't look like they're necked down far enough for that.

Also, chances are if you're working on a bolt with a 14mm hex head and need to secure the nut to keep the whole assembly from just spinning in the hole, you'll want your 14mm wrench for the nut.

Looks like Home Depot has some of the new tools and batteries listed on their website. Interesting a 2 pack of new 6.0 batteries is listed for $199. Note that you can't purchase them yet.

Ok that gives us some idea on pricing. Def gonna wait for those 12.0s to go on Ebay because I am not paying $200 lol. I may have to order that grinder kit

My question is this: with the new super tools(the 7/9" grinder for example), obviously I'll get the most power with a 12.0, but is there any major difference between that and a 9.0? Theoretically I should have just slightly diminished power and less runtime right?

Well I'm pretty impressed with my new blower. Last night I charged up my new 9.0 and got after it a little while ago. I've got close to 15ksqft if driveway, walk paths and patios and it got about 80% of it done. It's not the most powerful blower I've ever owned but it does just fine for dust, dirt clods and general debris which is exactly why I wanted it. Just the convenience of grabbing it and go is worth every dime, I highly recommend it if you're deep into the M18 stuff.

Ya Dan, it's pretty damn awesome ^^^^

So since my initial review I've used it almost everyday. My shop is almost entirely shaded by a huge pepper tree. If any of you have ever lived with one them you know they are a messy sumbitch. The pad outside my shop is about 1500sqft and requires constant cleaning unless I want that **** drug into my shop. Where I used to drag out the air hose and my 3ft nozzle to blow it off, this thing does it in 1/10th of the time easy. I'm really glad i spent the coin just from a convenience factor.

However I will add there are other cordless blowers on both sides of the price point that have much better reviews. But if you're like me and dread the idea of having multiple battery platforms, this makes all the sense in the world for the M18 crowd.

I wouldn't think you'd see diminished power unless it was one of the new high amperage tools (possibly a few of the current ones as well). The amperage discharge is distributed through the parallel cell groupings, hence why Milwaukee talks about the 9.0 running much cooler than other packs.

Like you said, the 12.0 will last longer and you may get more power in high amperage draw tools (like the outdoor line). If a 9.0 pack feels warm to the touch after use, the 12.0 will potentially give you more power.

This is just a rough guess for the cells in the two batteries. Definitely could be wrong!
9.0 High Demand: 60A max continuous. LG 18650 cells.
12.0 High Output: 90A max continuous. Samsung 21700 cells.

so, the 12AH is noticeably bigger.


for some reason i assumed that the batteries were stacked vertically in the battery rather than laid on their side . . . . .

Definitely noticeable and I wonder if it won't fit in some of my tools (rocket light and jobsite fan). Each dimension is larger than the 9.0.

On a second note, a few people were talking about the old and new 6.0 packs. Here's my guesstimate on those:
XC 6.0: 40A max continuous. LG 18650 cells.
High Output XC 6.0: 70A max continous. Samsung 21700 cells.

The new 6.0 are larger, but would be better for lawn and garden/high amperage draw tools. It also has more potential amp draw and weighs less than the current 9.0.

Edit: The new 6.0 is only 0.1lb lighter than the current 9.0.

If that's the case would you get more power to a tool with the HO 6.0 than the 9.0? With less runtime?

If I guessed the correct cells in the new packs, yes. You'd have to decide if it's worth the extra 10A draw. I would definitely say the 9.0 is better for lower draw tools.

Check out the pic for a size comparison between the two. Not much different.

I read somewhere today the some newer tools will run just fine with any of the older batteries but have been designed for optimized performance with the HO's '

Nothing was said that would work in reverse with the older tools:dunno:

Maybe, maybe not !

Motors are all about magnetism, whether they are brushed or brushless. Electromagnet strength is proportional to the number of turn or wire times the current.

But then you have Ohm's Law to deal with (voltage = current times resistance). With a constant voltage (approximately 18V). Adding more turns of wire, increase the resistance, which decrease the current.

If all my blathering is correct, to make a more powerful motor using the same voltage, you need more winding with lower resistance (larger wire), so an overall BIGGER MOTOR !


I can't wait for AvE to get a hold of the new "super" Sawzall or circular saw and compare their innards to the previous M18 Fuel models !

Be interesting from that point of view I guess.

Mine would be to put it to use.

I am very impressed with my Gen1 Fuel 2731 7 1/4" circular saw just the way it is both power an speed along with battery runtime. And I prefer using the 5.0 for a slightly better balance feel.

Most that have the Fuel Sawzall have nothing but positive feedback also. :dunno:

The only listings i can find online HD and ACME for the chainsaw are the - 21HD kits. Anyone see pricing for the bare tool? And table saw also
