I like bags for other tools but I'm tough on my drills and always find myself tossing them around. I do have a buddy with a 3d printer... might see if he can make me a couple "cups" to put in some hols in the molding and plastic weld them in. Not a bad idea!
I've looked at these and I have the m12 already. With it's size I'm almost tempted to just get the m18 compressor for a little more versatility. To me the heads and pumps look very similar.
Milwaukee doesn't make one but this sounds like the perfect reason to buy yourself a 3D printer. Just sayin'...Any have a good source for m12 and m18 battery holders and tool holders? My cubby I made has run out of room big time and I would like to get some of those plastic adapters to screw onto the bottom of it so I can hang some more of my tools on it. Most seem to be things people have 3d printed and are selling so just trying to see if there are recommendations for some quality ones so I don't buy junk.
That thought did cross my mind because my messed up thinking does justify spending a bunch of money to make something that costs way less. My wife hates it.
I started a dedicated thread the other day with the same question and didn't get one reply. I know there is a thread on GJ about tool cubbies or storage. Pretty sure I posted in it so I will search for it.
Would love to see it.

The 2401, in that pic and Milwaukees lineup, is the best overall tool in their lineup. IMO. Cheap, versatile, performs beyond pay grade, and is user friendly for anyone. I have 2 and they get more use than any other tool due to versatility. From IKEA furniture, to outlet work, to drilling pilot hole, to drywall.Might need to retire my loyal 3/8 brushed ratchet to full time coffee grinder duty.
The member that made a coffee grinder was onto something. It’s now possible to slow grind coffee with this setup and not wake up the entire household. Think it also beats my previous forays into burr grinders.
Hario v60 from Amazon Japan. Takes a 6mm socket on top when hand cranking is too tedious.
If I find one again for less than $50 I think I can justify 2. The best part is the clutch can be tuned for delicate stuff like tightening screws in plastic toys.
Ok Ok Ok …..some Red bucks found and used up. Work surface & dolly & drawers @NAPA 20% off sale
I didn't notice on mine but I'l check it out. Thanks
I recently did a cord real in the ceiling. I love it. It makes corded tools almost as handy as cordless and less likely to trip over a cord since retracting it takes seconds. One of my favorite tools in my garage.
I have one at the other side of the garage since there was a plug in the ceiling, but the back half of the garage has 3 plugs in a 25 x 25 area
It really is a great piece of kit.
did you get the dual battery one?
Thanks. Was hoping you were an early adopter
Am eagerly awaiting feedback on the dual battery ones from GJ members once they start rolling out. Hopefully in the next month.

I think they subsequently figured out that they had a dud 12.0 which dropped the runtime in half.
We just took apart to confirm. AND just tested the single batt blower with an XC6.0 and it ALSO lasted 9.5mins. I do apologize for the fake news, either way a 1 year old HD12.0 battery used maybe 2 times a month kicking the bucket not reflecting too well on the 'ol red brand. Ranking has been updated for those of you who have it. 19 mins, 38 points, 824 points total. Still last place I did it…no problems. Go on their website and open a warranty ticket. They paid for shipping both ways…and I got a new battery which was not listed, nor in warranty .In other news, my dreams of waltzing into a Milwaukee service center and getting my 9.0's exchanged for 8.0's were dashed. Looks like these are all 4 year old batteries, although one of them still appears to be e service eligible. Am pretty sure I got my money's worth out of them before they started to go out of balance. Wonder if your mileage may vary depending on who's working there that day?
What's interesting is I am reading this article and I am supposed to be prorated after 3 years?
Milwaukee Battery Warranty Period - Every Model and Pack Listed
The Milwaukee battery warranty policy may seem fairly straightforward, but there are a few different warranties for different packs.
The actual fine print is here per the manual:
*The warranty period for MILWAUKEE M18™ 48-11-1828 (with the serial number prefix "B41D" and earlier), V18™ 48-11-1830 (with the serial number prefix "A95"), and V28™ 48-11-2830 (with the serial number prefix "A71") is five (5) years / 2000 charges from the date of purchase, whichever first occurs. The first 1000 charges or 2 years of the warranty, whichever first occurs, are covered through free replacement of the defective battery. This means that for the earlier of the first 1000 charges or two (2) years from the date of purchase/first charge, a replacement battery will be provided to the customer for any defective battery free of charge. Thereafter, the remaining charges up to a total of 2000 or the remainder of the five (5) year period from the date of purchase, whichever first occurs, will be covered on a pro rata basis. This means that every customer gets an additional 1000 charges or three (3) years of pro rata warranty on the these battery packs, depending upon the amount of use. MILWAUKEE M18™ 48-11-1828 (with the serial number prefix "B41E" and later), V18™48-11-1830 (with the serial number prefix "E95"), and M28™ 48-11-2830 (with the serial number prefix "C71") have different warranty periods, as listed. Warranty Registration is not necessary to obtain the applicable warranty on a MILWAUKEE battery pack. The manufacturing date of the product will be used to determine the warranty period if no proof of purchase is provided at the time warranty service is requested.
Anyone try this or is it even worth it?
If I didn more wood working or construction type products it probably would have been in the running. But mines more for small metal working messes and detailing.Thanks. Was hoping you were an early adopter
Torque test channel validated the dual battery blower has some extra oomph.
The guys on our school campus walk around in 2's & 3's with backpack blowers to clean up leaves around the buildings. They go non stop for hours and keep extra fuel on a Gator cart. It's certainly not going to be a substitute for what they are doing. For myself, I keep the m18 blower in the hallway near the front door. Our apartment on campus has a tree that drops seeds that could double as ball bearings. It's like trying to walk on marbles down the steps. 30 seconds, twice a day, keeps the concrete clean. Our appt has no garage or shed so it's got to be electric. At home, I have a 14 hp walk behind Billy Goat leaf blower. We live in the woods and even with the big machine, it's an hour or two of leaf blowing, multiple times each fall.
Ah that explains it & makes more sense. I watched the video yesterday & had not seen an update. Most likely wouldn't have either, I watch YT on my TV & the app I use does not show comments.I think they subsequently figured out that they had a dud 12.0 which dropped the runtime in half.
UPDATE! The below suggestions were correct. Our 1 year old HD12.0 is not pulling from all banks of cells
will give it a college try. Although only one battery can be sent via e service apparently.
While I would never get into MX, the dual battery stuff I can definitely get into. Waiting for a deal on the lawnmower.
I thought the same things about pro landscape guys, but I’m picturing the guys by me with a truck, trailer, some zero turns and blowers and trimmers.
I have the last generation single battery version and have a small yard with 3 trees between the front and back. I can't clear the leaves off with one 8.0 or 9.0 battery.
