I bought a used heated vest to put under my carhartt as we come into winter with a big commercial job coming up meaning I will be out in the cold for 8 to 10 hours a day for the next 4 months. It came without a battery adapter so I grabbed the one from my heated hoodie to give it a shot and it didnt turn on. I tried the power supply on my hoodie and it won't turn on. Turns out the insulation inside the vest was flaking off and had caused a dead short that burnt out my power supply.

Edit My best guess is it was washed improperly at some point and it caused the wireing to start to degrade.

Wondering if there is a bolt replacement or makeshift one for this beveling part

I've been thinking of getting a milwaukee. Ratchet, but what should I get the fuel? Or just the regular version, and do you guys think there's going to be better deals?

I'm spinning a shaft to lift something on a steel cable. Took off the hand crank and got an adapter that worked well with a 1/2' older Milwaukee corded drill. Was a bit gun shy to put the 1/2 battery on it afraid of burning it up.

I think the tag is worn off the drill to look up specs on it. Thoughts and ideas for high...torque(?) drill that will sustain continual power delivery for a few minutes.

Anyone else having issues with the Fuel Leaf blower? I picked one up in July and had to send it back for warranty as it wouldn't spin fully up to speed, but it would turn some(with a clicking sound) . Warranty replaced it with a new one citing "motor seized". Last week this 2nd one seized fully, went from spinning slow on start up then 5 secs in ramping to full speed, then finally just stopped all together. Just sent it in today for 2nd claim but this seems out of place that 2 blower motors would seize up in the same fashion.

Possible manufacturing concerns? I've never had an issue with anything else red. Anyone else having issues with their leaf blowers?

Never seen this many truly snapped heads in one place

Took advantage of Home Depot deals & ordered my first Milwaukee power tool set
I think it’s not bad for $300 dollars right ?
$200 for the stubby & 1 battery
Then $100 for 2 batteries & the charger (came with the 3/8 ratchet but I returned it that’s why it came to $100 for the battery charger set )

Got my moneys worth out of ol girl and realized a new one dropped. I had a slow Monday morning so after sleeping through a couple meeting and getting my truck washed I figured I hit harbor freight and Home Depot & walked out with this 🙂

I am trying to inflate my tires and I notice that the inflator stops short of the psi and I have to keep hitting the start button. Is this normal?

I also noticed that when I inflated some tires and it shows the set psi, if I remove and reconnect it the psi is still short of the set psi. Often my multiple psi and I have a quick connect attached. Not sure the issue with this.

Looking to see if a XC4.0 battery will greatly help with Gen 1 right angle grinder stalling with CP2.0s. Obviously a XC5.0 will be better but will a XC4.0 be a big enough upgrade? I got a great deal on a 4.0 that’s why I ask. I do see the XC5.0 deals are great now but I don’t have a need for that many extra batteries.
