And I bet if your patient enough they'll pop up on Ebay for around $100 bucks like the blower and hedge trimmer after guys start parting out the kits.
Ehh idk about that low but you can def save a ton of you can wait a few weeks. About 3/4ths of the red tools I have came from ebay(25+ tools)

I had plans for a 2754 M18 3/8" impact. That M12 Fuel 3/8" may have dashed those plans...

Ha! I called it. The M12 3" cut off tool will come with the shroud, an abrasive disc, and a diamond cutting blade for $129

Milwaukee is releasing pipe wrenches all the way up to 60 inches.. that's not a typo.

Offset pipe wrenches, extended handle 10" pipe wrench, SMOOTH JAW PIPE WRENCHES AND PUMP PLIERS.

New shallow packout organizers, a packout 4 wheeled dolly, packout wall mount for vans for the parts organizers. Packout foam inserts..

I'm wondering if they redesigned the miter saw yet... can't find any real info on heated gloves except, yes, they are real..

I have the first gen version.

There's more than one generation? I know there's a compact version and another one that they rate as 100mph and 120mph but they look identical on Home Depot's website. Which one of these do you have IF it's one of these?

...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.

^^^ This is impressive. I doubt I have the area you describe so whichever one you have would probably work fine for me too.

...I also have the weedeater,...in case I need to break out the sawzall for pruning or the hedgeclipper.

Wait, what? There's a Milwaukee weedeater AND a hedgeclipper? You're making my head swim a bit here:bounce: Now I've GOT to look into those. I've had an assortment of gas powered weedeaters over the years and always had problems with them eventually. I finally went to a corded one - which works fine except for dragging around the cord of course


.... 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 DO dread having multiple battery platforms. I'm enjoying the Milwaukee M18's I have so far and will stick with them.:thumbup:

I've the hedge-trimmer and weed eater both work great, there was a promo a while back that if you bought the weed-eater kit you got the trimmers for free (tool only). I'm wanting the blower but I want one that's variable speed.

No high voltage or double battery solutions, but an overload of new tools. The performance of the 12.0 on the new tools makes no sense...these are 18v tools literally at least on par with the higher voltage competition. Science. I'm blown away. Overwhelmed. Broke just thinking about it.

And the cherries on top...TWO Fuel jigsaws...I feel like Milwaukee's flipping us the double birds with these!!! Totally didn't see that coming. They had to have read this thread hahaha.

Bravo, Milwaukee. You did damn good this year.

Lastly, kinda bummed we didn't get a compact 3.0/4.0 battery with 21700 cells. I'd use those for all drills/impacts. 9.0s and 12.0s for everything else. Sell off all of my 2.0s and 5.0s.

Maybe next year I guess.

That's not it, that's a Frankenstein creation from a grinder or something.

I was being sarcastic

Looks like Milwaukee went with amperage over voltage... time will tell.. the demo of the new circular saw is impressive on twitter. Looks like it's the flexvolt and a corded model in the drag race..

Promo is back in stores again, having owned both Milkwaukee’s blowers, 1st/2nd gen. I just went back to the ego. This time I picked up the backpack one. Love it. View attachment 764311View attachment 764312

Who is making it for them? Ridgid or is it another offshore product?

Those heated gloves are real.. they were announced at NPS18

Looks like they'll run on the 4V RedLithium batteries, same ones the USB rechargeable lights use. I'm interested! The new jacket looks nice as well, might have to sell my current one, too stiff and bulky.

The real version is there as well. It's one of the next videos. The real version looks pretty sweet. It says July release. I think I'll get one.

Addition, ya right sure.

This is just from the last 4 weeks and that's not including the four 4-1/2" 7 amp grinders that I got for $189 shipped that'll be here Monday.

View attachment 764417

And now there's no doubt I'll be buying at least two of the latest stubby impacts about to be released plus one 12a battery.

You guys are killing me :lol_hitti

I know everyone is caught up in the new stuff - but if anyone has been waiting for the m12 polisher bare tool to be available from Home Depot - like I have - it's back in stock.. I just ordered it.

Anyone know where I could order the M18 string trimmer and free M18 blower with free shipping? Ohio Power Tool and ToolBarn both have the $299 promo, but with $35-40 shipping from either because it's an "oversized item." Still not a bad deal at $340, but if I could get free shipping that'd be sweet.

Finally ordered the inflator, went to HD to pick one up but apparently they're only at the big super stores. I have a slow leak on one tire, that's a good enough excuse for me lol

I ordered my inflator the first day it was available for pre order - and I still don't have it..

Anyone notice that little m12 rocket light is DUAL POWERED TOO.... 700/1400 lumen settings.. that's gonna be tough to say no to...

Hahaha your not alone! I just followed up on MY shipped order by UPS The tracking notification came Tuesday that its was on its way. Never got it this week at all.

Just looked THAT up on that online and it has made 5 different transfer stops so far and right now it is still one state away with an estimated Monday delivery :dunno:

And almost guaranteed I will get the box with either a hole punched it or the box crushed in

How I miss my Fed EX gal ;)

So it has an AC plug port hey :thumbup:

Not a charger though right?

Anybody got an idea on the price :headscrat

Anything m12 is pretty much in my playbook :D

My home depot has them. I've only used it so far to fill an empty trailer tire and top off my lawn tractor tires. Used about 50% of the battery (2.5 ah).
It's a little expensive for a pump but the convenience of being able to set the pressure and walk away eases that sting
