I have the gen 1 stubby and I find it lacking in power. I know this is a Milwaukee sub but I own several other battery ecosystems including DeWalt, flex, Hercules, and Bauer. I was wondering if buying a cheaper mid torque and keeping my M12 stubby gen 1 for what it can handle until I can get the gen 2 . Gen 2 stubby is $229 I can get a flex mid torque for $90 bucks on eBay or Amazon. Or the DCF 921 for $110 bucks on Amazon which was the strongest compact impact wrench until the Gen 2 stubby. Do most of y'all who owned the Gen 2 stubby find yourself only needing the stubby or a high torque ? Or does the mid torque still have its place in this section?

im confused these are all from home depot. all forge batteries are suppose to be hd right? for high discharge? i just got these 8.0 why is the branding different from the 12.0

:(

I love this vacuum, but couldn’t believe how easily and quickly this part broke. The upgraded clip is great but it feels like they should have shipped it with a sturdier clip. I leaned over and it busted. I weigh about 170lb. and certainly wasn’t abusing it. I’ve only had it for a few months and have used it maybe 2-3 times a week since.

I do backpacking and the belt has to be tight enough to comfortably support the weight on your waist so it’s not such a pain on shoulders. With the weight of this thing, the same principle definitely applies.

Just a complaint I guess, but wanted to share sense it’s a nice QOL improvement.

I have 2 batteries (not charge for a while). I tried to charged it with my Lion charger (with balance). After full, the battery has 20.5v but the red led still linking and the tool doesnt work.

How can I fix this.

updated: I fixed it with jump wired, just connect middle pin and the 4th pin(near -)

I'm sure plenty of folks have posted similar, but i dont know how often you see the surge or a drill dyed. Royal purple. Lime green oil paint pen coming to hit the letters.

Can't decide between these what to get. If I got the mid torque id probably try to sell the ratchet and wait for the new extended one to come out.

I got these safety glasses since they fit over my normal glasses, but I was looking online for a protective case to stop scratches or them being crushed. I tried the Klein one but it was too small. Anyone else use these and found a case that works?

I bought this deal back in December as part of the daily deal. Whah are the chances of it coming back anytime soon? Needing another one!

I wanted a DeWalt universal 60v power head. My plan was to use the edger attachment and buy some reciprocating scissors via Amazon. Something in my head told me to not make this so difficult. DeWalt obviously doesn't have the best landscaping tools. I figured it's best to go with Milwaukee for landscaping tools.

So I asked Google Gemini the best way to buy all these items through Milwaukee. Gemini told me to buy the M18 Fuel 18V quick lok string trimmer that comes with a battery, charger, and edger attachment for $349. Gemini stated that I should buy the M18 reciprocator attachment for $399. I figured why not add a 12 ah battery for $229 as well.

I purchased everything for $879.30. I learned that military retirees could purchase these items tax free through a partnership between our Exchange Store and Home Depot.

$314.10

Brand new hole hawg shut out after a 1/2in hole. Switched batteries and bit size still nothing

I could use the batteries so I don’t mind, but just curious if there’s a better deal out there.

hello, im trying to trade/buy my way to some milwaukee things i want.
this milwaukee super hawg is on the path to it. (link down below)
IMPORTANT QUESTION IS:
the guy is asking $200 “used couple times”. worth the price? if not let me know what is worth the price?
i know its not fuel, so those arent worth much but depends on tool too.

edit: i do not want to keep the hawg or anything similar! i am using it as a step stone to what im trading for! lmk if the tool is worth $200
