Alright Alright - where’s the best deal on the 3/8 stubby?? I gotta do brakes on my car soon, so fuk it..

I see 159 on ebay

 

[chickenfarmer]

I would like to see a Fuel version of the m12 polisher/sander.

Do the new tools get announced in May or June? I have heard that it will be around 150 new tools, most of them being hand tools.

I too would be very interested in a fuel polisher/sander

Lol.. how long u been holdin onto that one?


Good news came for me on Friday.. - waiting on details..

 

[dacan23]

My first kaizen project, may look good in the pic, but I would only give it a C+ maybe.

 

[DFB]

Who bought what with ACME's 15% off today

Been a long time comin...

 

[Firefighter1406]

I had thought about the gen 2 blower. But work has been a little slow. Gonnna hold off. Is a great deal though.

did you buy a precut insert, or did you cut it out of one of the big pieces others have mentioned buying?

the problem with something like this is that you noticed every slight meandering of the cuts, while everyone else is overwhelmed with the totality of the project.

I would certainly give it a solid B . . . .

Well I pulled the trigger on a 2114 usb light. My tired eyes need all the help they can get.

 

[dacan23]

The lights are in the packout too case with foam 48-22-8450.

Project 2 was from pieces I cut from the giant sheets I got. Using the M12 padded case I made a stubby holder and don't have to take the boots off!

You will enjoy that light

I have one and like a lot...everything about it is just great IMO. The magnet is very strong, the brightness and multiple angle configurations extremely usable and most especially the carbineer clip for me on my tool belt is so handy.

 

[tonync]

Has anyone bought and used the M18™ FUEL™ String Trimmer with QUIK-LOK™ Attachment Capability
MILWAUKEE-2825-20ST

 

[Dennis Leigh Henry]

Added the rechargeable head lamp, a hand held Sawzall blade holder and the smaller M18 vac to the collection. Moved the smaller M12 vac to the son, along with the large V28 impact....

You bought all 3 stubby impacts? Lmao...


So I wound up using the gift card i had on a new cordless razor instead.. ME THINKS i have more gifts cards buried away in a suitcase I STILL have not unpacked since December.. i honestly dont need the stubby the impact, but i honestly dont need anything else either - so the impact seems like a good item for the a “fuk it” purchase. Tomorrow Imma go gift card hunting in my house..

Carbide Matrix bits are available for pre-order (Acme). Wish I noticed during the 15% off sale.

 

[Bighead38]

I use that hand sawzall blade thing all the time.

 

[Riverlos]

Can’t wait to start using it

So I’m thinking of joining the Red Tool cult... jk
I found a good deal on a brand new “used “ 1/4 impact but it has the one key function. So I’m curious on how to make sure it’s not locked, do I just link it to my phone and I’m good?

ya. If you can link it, it isn't tied to another account.

Thx that’s what I figured but wanted to make sure before I wasted $$
Thx again

Played with the new deep band saw today and the hydraulic impact....wasn't too much quieter, just smoother!

Being a firefighter, I'd say work being slow is a good thing in your case

I picked up my M18 palm sander yesterday.. got home, started using it, and realized the eff'ing FILTER in the dust bin was missing, so needless to say it made a mess. Dust everywhere.

The one Home Depot in the area that had the palm sander was 45 minutes away (each way), so I really don't want to take it back to exchange it. Hoping if I call Milwaukee they'll send me a replacement part.

 

[kctyphoon]

I bet they will..

Anyone see that new cordless Makita rebar tie machine yet? Holy **** that thing is amazing..

My favorite impact. Literally used it to install caster bushings in my control arm, installed coilovers, swap my tires around, removed exhaust manifolds etc

Mine too. Bought one for work a couple months ago and it's my go to tool. Love it so much I just bought another one for home. Bought an m12 rocket light too. That thing is the ****.

Lol, my 2nd arrived yesterday as well. Just broke it in tonight pulling the trans in the family beater vehicle.

I wonder if they’ll make gen 3 versions of the M18 compact impact wrenches that are similar in profile to the 2853 impact driver? If they’re anything like the gen 3 impact driver, they’d be “stubbier” and more powerful than the M12s out now. I’d be into that. Even if they’re the same length on the business end, they’d certainly be shorter handle-wise with a CT battery and have a much less bulky grip.

I have thought this too - a 2854-20 would be great.

 

[dacan23]

Yes and no....I dont want to upgrade my 2758 (OK version of 2754). Its surely going to happen this year or next, the 2754 & 2755 while V2's and not that old seem like that have to be updated since the M12 stubbies came out.

They will probably be 350+lbs, possibly 400. Since i pretty much have every M12 & M18 impact, I think I can resist getting the M18 stubbies.

So I just got my 3/8 stubby impact.. Mine is a 2554, now I see yours is a 2555? What is the difference? Mine must have been old stock!

2554 is 3/8, 2555 is 1/2

 

[dacan23]

2554 = 3/8 friction ring
2555 = 1/2 friction ring
2555P = 1/2 pin detent
