No its a giant digital torque wrench. The M12 extended ratchets are just longer 3-4" versions of the fuel ratchets

Are those the ones that look like extend m12 ratchets

Also saw what looks likes an air sander with paddle handle, looks m12 powered

No, those are the new long ratchets to compete with the ones Snap On has on their battery platform. The torque wrench looks like a torque wrench with a giant display and buttons on it.

And yeah the die grinder is M12, 4 speeds with variable speed trigger. I imagine it’ll spin a lot faster that the current polished.

Might be an expensive fall.

Happy to see the 9" cut off saw, will be nice for the fire department as we already have the milwaukee platform

? on Battery Warranty. 1st one ever I did via eservice. Date code was late Nov/Dec '17.

I got a replacement back. Presume/assumed it would be at least 2018 date code. Replacement is Aug '17.
What's up with that...

Those torque wrenches are looking expensive. 3/8” is 10-100ft/lbs and the 1/2” is 10-150ft/lbs. 2% accuracy. Oh and they’re powered ratchets, they’ll run the fastener down stopping short of the desired torque and then you finish by hand. Visual, audible, and vibratory indicators.

Those specs ****, why not make just 1 model 10-250ft lbs. Weird they are powered. Glad to know now that I wont be buying one lol

thank you. I've never been so glad I didn't splurge on the polisher.

The polisher isn’t bad, especially with the adapters that Fluxion is selling now. If I didn’t have the adapters I would really regret buying the polisher instead of just being disappointed.

The price hikes are due to tariffs. The money goes from the consumer to the government, not Milwaukee.

Thought last year was ridiculous with how many new things they had, they topped it this year. Luckily there are just a few things I want, where I have gotten 10+ things from last years new releases.

I'll take the framing nailer. Was hoping they would release a stapler similar to the one DeWalt released for electrical wires.
May take the M12 die grinder if it is variable speed (own the M18 one and wish it was variable speed like the DeWalt)

No mention of a packout power station?

The die grinder is supposed to have 4 speed settings, and a variable speed trigger. In the picture I saw it looks like a standard right angle die grinder, just fatter.

Edit: 10k, 15k, 20k, and 25k rpm settings.

Does anyone have any good experience with the 2717-20 1 9/16" SDS rotary hammer?
I need to drive in some t-posts for a fence on my property through some pretty rocky ground and looking to drill a hole first, would this tool work well for that?

Digital torque wrench M12... LMAO... it's like 18" long... it's cool...

Looks like it’s normal length for a 150ft/lb torque wrench. It’ll only run the fastener down and stop before it gets to whatever torque you set, still have to finish by hand. It’ll probably tighten to the 60ft/lb range like the normal fuel ratchets. And wow $599 bare tool. That’s pretty steep unless it does angle as well.

Cant be more than $30-40, exactly $30 is my guess. Last year the mounting plates were said to be in the $2X and the dolly $3X..... but thats before they had to go back to the drawing board and redo them so they are prolly going to be more LOL

Edit, crate is $39 ouch
Any word about the pricing on the packout tote/bin ?
