What was the clearance price? If you wanna sell one I may be interested. Seems like my home depot doesn't ever ever clearance anything
They were on clearance for $125 around here.....a couple of the stores I stopped in last few weeks had a 2 or 3 still.....not sure about now...

So is the super sawzall REPLACING the fuel sawzall? Also - Home Depot (by me anyway) is PACKED with the Ridgid modular storage kit - Ridgid s packout version.. pretty nice and a lot cheaper.. I can't bring myself to buy the packout kit cause I honestly have no real need for it.
Speaking of sawzalls - I bought the original m12 brushed hackzall - and I gotta say the thing is better than I expected.. I've only used it for a few small things, like small bolts and a couple pvc projects - thing is honestly pretty decent for what it is.

No way on earth would they eliminate the reg fuel. They would lose way too much business, not tons of people who want to spend 400 on a sawzall

I don't think they are getting rid of the regular FUEL sawzall...just one One-Key versions were on clearance....the regular ones were still on the shelf.
Just started replacing my yellow stuff with red. Started with a package deal with the drill, impact driver and charger from Ace, came with a free m18 9.0 battery.
I immediately added the high torque 1/2 gun. Then for a small project picked up a m12 circular saw and hackzall.
Last weekend Ace was running another special so I picked up a M18 fuel grinder which came with another dual charger and 9.0 for $199.
I see lots of talk here about acme tool, home Depot, and a few others. Not much mentioned about Ace hardware, my Ace has a "Milwaukee Red Zone" is this uncommon? I'm definitely seeing how this red becomes addictive!!

Usually they do a 3 piece kit for 99 bucks for father's day and a few other times a year so I would guess that is the deal.

Doesn't smell, but there is a bit too much around the business end. Just tried it on one lug nut on a trailer.

I have the non-fuel M12 also. I just can't bring myself to upgrade to the fuel because the non has done everything I've asked.

Agreed. The regular Fuel Sawzall is amazing. It's not huge, not heavy, but damn powerful and fast. I think the Super Sawzall is in its own category kinda like the Super Hawg.
IMO the One Key Sawzall is so hokey pokey. That is literally one tool I never wanna tinker with when using it. The trigger control is really good anyways. I bet they're being clearanced because no one else sees value in them either [emoji23]

M12 brushed Hackzall is sooo easy to stall out. Like way too easy. It's a shame because the form factor is awesome

Haha, I concur. One Key seems like a gimmick for the most part.
Also, that clearance price is decent to me if reselling, or you have 9AH batteries already. I got the 9AH Fuel SawZall Kit for $207.

Same with mine, but when they have deals on them they seem a bit better than the big stores do. Not often, but I've scored pretty big deals on occasion.

Has there been any indication that the chainsaw will be available as a bare tool ? I asked when NPS18 happened and no one was sure. I have also emailed Milwaukee 2 times asking and got no response.

Strange, I like having 4 speed options. I have one set for slow ramp up for metal, one for non-aggressive wood, and one for pruning. Forget the other.
I have never used the tracking of it though, or any other tool management in the app. Programmed on day one, and have sort of forgot about it. Little piece of mind if it were to end up growing legs. You also get a blade brake option in the controls.
The bigger reason for clearancing, is the Super Sawzall on its way. Lot more pro's would rather have the power that the other options. It does have a speed dial, so it doesn't completely lose that control, and it does add orbital cutting.

Wondering if anyone has the size for the power plug that goes into the M12 or M18 USB power adapter? Looking to power something off one of the adapters, but of course don't have my heated jacket with me to measure the barrel jack.

I have it... let me go look and edit this... I power my 12v nebulizer.
EDIT: 2.1 x 5.5mm Male
These are the ones I used... PERFECT FIT.

Also known as size M, very common. Be careful doing that, if you short the power adapter it's done for. I opened one up and couldn't find the fuse or breaker to replace it. I now have two that only function as a USB charger.
I'll have to keep that in mind about the deals, thanks.
I agree, I've said before the one key is invaluable in certain applications. I have mine configured for steel, stainless, and wood, all with different ramp rates. You can tweak little stuff too like how long the light stays on. I think drills and impacts get the most use out of it though

Thanks. That is the size I ordered off eBay. I need a male to male, and it was $.99 from you-know-where-ina. Hoping to power some trail cams, but only temporary usage & dislike using so many AA's (8 a cam).

I did a similar thing with male-to-male by splicing two of those adapters together with heat shrink crimp connectors. I use it with my M12 battery adapters to power some cheap Utilitech LED lights I got on clearance at Lowes. Spent too much on M18 lights and I was too cheap to spend more on M12 lights too.
My dad used a similar setup with his Ridgid 18v batteries to power an LED spotlight on his snowblower.
I also made a 12V vehicle power adapter for my heated hoodie to power it in the car or on my tractor without draining a battery.

some nice bucking spike on that bad boy.
While looking to see if the M18 chainsaw was out anywhere, I came across this 18" beauty on ebay.
M18 Fuel Chainsaw Grinder kit (blade only)
M18 Fuel Chainsaw Grinder
Milwaukee makes a chainsaw??
do they make an M18 chainsaw? that'll look great next to my M18 Fuel 7 1/4 saw.

Milwaukee has had one for a while, but $30. Cheaper to make your own, just not as pretty.
M18 Fuel Chainsaw was announced last month at their NPS18. Should be available in the next month or two. The one I posted is a guy (or girl) on eBay that is converting a Milwaukee Fuel Grinder into a chainsaw. My grinder does have a blade brake, so maybe it's semi-safe. LoL

Serious question here... what is the value of an M18 brushless grinder with paddle switch/brake, a M18 brushless med duty impact, and a 9 amp M18 battery after they have fallen off a 400 foot tower?
The bodies are trashed, the grinder motor is trash, and the battery says its charged on the battery and charger, but doesnt run tools. One of the other older impacts and two 5 amp batteries survived the fall.
Should they be thrown away or are there some small internal parts that we should keep?

That *****, what happened? My tools always get an individual lanyard, did the entire bucket take a tumble?

Pretty much. Guys up top put too much weight on the line and ground guy wasn't expecting it. Let go before he burned his palms off. All the tools were in a canvas bucket that exploded when it hit the tower on the way down. The 8 year old Mil impact that we found on the side of the road still works and looks fine.

Was the ground guy new? I always expect more weight, never less, it is a good CYA. Hopefully no one got hurt and it turned into a teachable moment, well after the yelling and adrenaline rush was over.

Yeah they do, but I wasn't going to spend $35 for it when I already had the wire and all the parts to make one.

For anyone still looking, Home Depot's site once again has the string trimmer 9.0ah kit for $299 with either blower or hedge trimmer as the free tool. Now they also have the M18 Fuel Hackzall or the M12/M18 Jobsite bluetooth speaker available as the bundled tool as well.

Milwaukee was suppose to start selling tool lanyards.. I use the Husky Velcro straps that have that clasp/hook on the end for the sawzall and sds plus rotary hammers.. haven't dropped a tool yet.

Cool use that little inflator to add 10lbs to a 265 16 LT tire before my towing excursion this morning. Took just about 2 minutes. So great I set it walked away to do other stuff and just shutoff when it was done.
After I walked outside I realized there wasn't a 12v battery in it then thought cam there a battery clamp accessory to use off the vehicle too!

So is the consensus that this is a top off tool not a flat tire pump?Cool use that little inflator to add 10lbs to a 265 16 LT tire before my towing excursion this morning. Took just about 2 minutes. So great I set it walked away to do other stuff and just shutoff when it was done.
