Bought this a while ago and was cleaning it today only to notice the Made In USA sticker on the back. I’m sure this has been mentioned numerous times on here. But this is awesome. We need more of this 🤘🏼 🇺🇸
Saw this today while browsing, looks like m12 forge might come sooner than later
I bought this combo kit yesterday. They’re the first power tools that are really mine so I am very happy and excited.
I have a 2022 Winnebago View 24D RV which is powered by a 3.0 liter V6 BlueTEC turbo-diesel engine. I want to purchase a super capacitor jump start system to keep in my RV in case I need a jump start. I know the Milwaukee M18 HOTSHOT is rated for “up to 3.0L diesel” engines. Since my engine is at the top of the Milwaukee specification, will I be happy with its performance? Or, should I purchase a similarly priced super capacitor jump starter like the KleenPower 6000A Super Capacitor Jump Starter which someone recommended on a post yesterday. I always carry plenty of M18 batteries in my RV for other tools already, so I like the size and weight savings on the Milwaukee jump starter vs the KleenPower one. Help me decide with some real world experience, please, which makes this subreddit so useful!
I need a new M18 Fuel drill and found this locally on FB marketplace for $110. I’m no expert, but it appears to be authentic & new (refurb??). At this price, it’s better deal than any other local options. Is this a legit good deal or should I avoid?
TIA
Tried to fix the trigger on my M18 Fuel 1/4" Hex impact driver by opening it up and cleaning out all the dust. Ironically the triggered sheered the trigger wire when I tested it after putting it back together. Just dumb.
So, trying to buy a new driver; I don't trust tools with spliced wires. Home Depot doesn't have the driver in stock after they canceled my purchase. A reddit post said the driver was discontinued but I see no information for a new model and Milwakee doesn't show anything besides the one I am trying to replace.
I have an old rigid impact for now but what is up with Milwakee impacts? The Compact version is not strong enough and I am doubting the Surge version is either.
Is there a new model I'm not seeing for 1/4" hex impact? Sheet Metal / HVAC.
edit: Drill > driver. Same story.
I doubt it’s within manufacturer warranty, and I know it’s not within the repair warranty. I probably don’t have the repair receipt. Repair was done by an authorized Milwaukee distributer.
This saw was obtained in a large bundle I purchased. It NEVER actually worked. It would just not spin sometimes, but if I manually spun the blade and pressed the trigger it would go (extremely dangerous, I’m aware).
But the tool had no balls. It would fail ripping standard 3/4” plywood. I’d make it a portion of the way through the sheet and it would just stop. Sometimes I could get it to complete the cut if I backed out, let it get up to RPM and then went terribly slow.
It’s been sitting on the shelf for a couple years collecting dust. I use my very old corded ryobi instead, which fills me with white hot rage.
EDIT: found the repair invoice.
23-58-7116 STATOR / Electronics assembly
It was repaired under warranty back in 2023.
I punched my serial number into Milwaukee site and it says “warranty coverage cannot be determined”
I can continue with the repair but looks like I might pay up to $195. Which isn’t worth it to me.
I had to use multiple high strength attempts over the span of almost a year to get the drill chuck out, now to put the hex-bit holder one in just to test fits…
and it’s still so so freaking tight.
I used a small amount of oil lube to finally release (with a freak hammer and pry tool just trying not to bend the shaft)
I’m wondering if anyone else has had a similar issue and how you fixed it? I purchased this tool off of eBay. Was in newish condition before I beat on it a ton.
Any advice is appreciated.
Just saw this M18 6AH battery on vinted. I've never seen a 6AH genuine battery. Am I right or am I just being thick
