Just upgraded from my old brushless Ryobi set to these all with either the same or significantly more power from the 18v system. Did a full blackout on all my new tools and couldn’t be happier! Absolutely badass performance and look! Anyone done this to theirs? Anyone do custom colour lettering !?

Never seen this many truly snapped heads in one place

I have a couple of these for sale near me and I was just curious what a good price would be. It’s a little used, but it looks like it’s in perfect condition. How much would y’all pay?

Is this hack able?

Started to organize my tools in my new garage! I need to buy more tools…

It’s not budging at all. Instruction manual was not helpful. Thank you in advance.

I am looking to get the 4-1 install driver as cheap as possible but don’t have any batter or charger for it. I have a buddy on site as well that has a m18 battery for something but no charger for it. Wondering what the cheapest way to fix both of our problems would be. I can get away with one 12v battery but could do 2 if the deal makes more sense. Having a hard time figuring out where to look.

Looking to stay with M18 as I don’t have any M12 stuff but it seems like the only ratchets are on the M12 side. I’m considering just getting the 2668 “right angle impact wrench” but I don’t really need the impact part and am not a fan of it being friction ring instead of pin. Do I have any alternatives on the M18 side?

Is Milwaukee the only one that makes the containers for the food warmer? $30 for one is kinda ridiculous, would love to get some cheap knockoffs if possible

Here’s a few pictures of the tools required for my day to day duties in and out of the field :)

I have about a dozen m18 batteries all 12.0 and a few 8.0s
& about another dozen m12 batteries 4.0.

Going to start slowly phasing the high output and forged batteries into my rotation.

Lmk what yall think 🤙🏻
Almost Friday 💆🏻‍♂️

Hi, I’m 16 and working a part time job in an agricultural workshop alongside college.
I also do a lot of spannering on my own projects outside of work and I’m looking at getting a stubby
impact.

I already have some M18 tools (drill, impact driver, 1/2” high torque) so it would make sense to go with an M18 stubby but I’ve heard a lot of good stuff about the M12 new gen.

I’d eventually like a few m12 tools aswell so it would also make sense to make a start with m12
Id eventually like a die grinder, soldering iron and ratchet. Any good?

I’ve spoken to some people who say get the m12s and I’ve spoken to people who say stay away from m12.

So, which is better and what should I buy?
M12 1/2” stubby new gen. Or. M18 1/2” stubby new gen

Also, are there any m12 tools to stay away from and what other tools would you recommend I get?

Thanks in advance

Are extra XC5.0 batteries worth keeping around if I only currently have an M12 Stubby and 3/8 Ratchet? Only currently have on CP2.0 and XC5.0 total to power them now.

I know you can “never have too many” but just don’t want them sitting if the usage is low enough to make them sit and degrade over time.

I just got the Gen 2 M12 Stubby a few weeks, and this thing is crazy.... These lugs in the picture belong to a 2009 Yukon denali xl awd. I think 140 ft lbs are the torque specs, but you can clearly tell thats not the case anymore 😂. I didn't think it was gonna even stand a chance loosing them, but it honestly did it with no hesitation at all, it probably took 10 to maybe 15 seconds to remove all of them..... also does anyone got any ideas why this is the only set of lugs on my truck that look like this the rest look complete normal 🤔

So my question is does MAP pricing really mean it’s the cheapest price? MAP means minimum advertised price but is that totally true or do tools go on better sales during Black Friday or anything? Thanks

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 )

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.

Edit: since some people have posted, I am aware of the stop, start pauses when inflating and it does do that but it also stops short and doesn’t reach the set psi. I wait 5 minutes and it doesn’t resume to meet that set psi. I have to manually keep hitting the button for it to continue.

I use this open flow chuck as I read as suggested due to the open flow design to not let out as much air as the screw on from the attached hose. (This behavior of the stops still happens without this chuck as well) https://jacosuperiorproducts.com/collections/tire-air-chucks/products/l2x-tire-inflator-air-hose-extension-nozzle-locking

I've got a M18 Fuel angle grinder with charger and 2 batteries. I've also got the 4932478625 Packout Deep Organiser.

Are there inserts available for this packout keep the items neat and prevent them rattling around in the packout?

Thanks.

I’m moving overseas in less than two weeks, and have no current projects. I have m12 and m18 5.0 batteries. The shipping company is requiring me to have the batteries below 25%. Is there a way to safely discharge the batteries without sitting there running my tools?

30 inch box with the top stack and hutch. Everything works, no issues with drawers or anything like that. There’s roughly a 4inch by 4inch area of a paint chip below the bottom drawer. What would someone pay for something like this?

Anyone have recommendations on small storage boxes that close/have kids but also fit within the 3.5” L x 3.5” W x 2.5”D dividers (or even 3.5” L x 7” W”)? I want to compactly store loose items like butt connectors, cotter keys, zip screws, etc without them jostling around inside and getting loose.

Doesn’t have to be fancy, just has to work.

Anyone else buy the three pack of glasses from
Home Depot? It’s nice because they’re cheap, but the ends of them rub off and the plastic beneath is a little sharp. Hoping Milwaukee will see this and fix.

Hi all

Does anyone use the milwaukee heated lunchbox?

I currently have an aliexpress/noname brand chinese one that works really well but am thinking of getting the milwaukee.

My questions are

1) Can the unit plug into auxillary power? My chinese one just takes a 25 watt usb supply from the car so its battery can stay topped up as i drive between jobs.

2) Is the steel tray microwave safe? My chinese one is microwave safe so i can pre-heat the soup or meal before i leave for work in the morning.

3) What is the element wattage? The promo and instruction manual says it takes 2 hours to heat up. My chinese one will sit on warm mode which puts a constant 10 watts of heat in to keep the food around 30 degrees. Then when I put it into heat mode which I believe is about 60-80 watts, it only takes about 30-45 minutes to bring 1 litre of soup and vegetables up to super hot for eating.

I never use the auto-start timer. I find its easier just to start the heating when i know im going to be finishing a job in "about" half an hour. If i had to predict at 8am my lunch break might be at 1pm then i dont know how long each job is going to take and it would be a bit annoying if the food is too cold by the time i get to it at 2pm.
Edit: Just confirmed it has a "heat now" mode. But if its only a 30 watt element then its still a long time to plan ahead if it still takes 2 hours to heat.

Having the auxillary usb power is great because if i only eat half of it, i can still reheat it again later as the battery is still mostly full.

4) If you do have one, what are your thoughts on it? Do you like it? What kind of foods are you having in it?

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 🙂
