I'm looking for a small case to use for a traveling toolkit. I really only need my installation driver, driver heads, and random small things, so I don't need a large packout, but I'd like to be able to throw a lock on it.

Just started buying milwaukee and now we're here

TL/DR: sweaty man breaks tool. Sweaty man send tool to Milwaukee. Milwaukee want 90$ bones. Sweaty man fix drill for free on own.

Recently I was on a big job and sweat so much my m18 impact stopped working. I noticed corrosion on one of the terminals where the battery slides in and also worried about damage to the internal electronics. I was already about to send in the m18 flashlight for an unrelated issues. I decided I may as well see if the impact was under warranty and sent them both off.

Flashlight arrived back in a little over a week and I received a phone call the second week stating the impact would cost 90$ to repair or they could recycle it. I told them to just go ahead and send it back. They informed me it would be completely disassembled which was sort of lame.

Once I got it back I simply reassembled it and it was working fine once again with corrosion and all. This makes we wonder what their process was like in identifying the issue and determining the price of the repair. Anyone have any insight?

As someone looking into Milwaukee m12 who currently owns Dewalt, do the m12s really feel that much smaller and lighter?

I noticed I often seen people use the bigger m12 batteries which don’t seem that much smaller than some of the Dewalt’s stacked lithium?

Just curious to hear from maybe those who’ve used both. Thanks!

Looking to get this right angle die grinder for a couple projects but wondering if I could possibly get it cheaper down the road. It’s hackable down to $280 including tax. I won’t need it for a couple months at least so I can wait but wondering if it’s worth holding out for, or if this thing regularly goes cheaper? I like this kit cause it has the exact 2 batteries I’m looking for but I kinda feel like I’m being impulsive. What do ya think? Better deal to be had before winter?

I’m often crawling through crawl spaces lugging plenty of tools/parts. You always need a light.
The drill is already pretty good. I wish Milwaukee would have a button or setting where it turns on the light. I’d buy another drill. And I already have too many.

My red tool collection is steady growing!

I’ve got a couple more drills and stuff in my tool bag and other red tools in the packouts.

I bought my first string trimmer/edger combo several seasons ago. After using the trimmer it started to cut out after about fifteen minutes. I bought another to see if it was a bad motor. Nope, the new one did it too. I took mine apart and drilled multiple holes from 3/8 to 7/8". Didn't want to hit any vital wires. Even after all these vent holes it will still cut off. It is worse when it's hot and humid above 85-90 degrees. I'm in north Texas.

I do not like the guard, so I took mine off. I like the string a little longer. A longer string may be the cause of the over heating. Five inches seems to be a sweet spot. I like it longer. It never cuts off when I use the edger. I use .095 string.

A friend recently bought one too. His also cuts out.

Will this issue be resolved?

looking at a decent portable jump starter. I always have milwaukee batteries on hand but at this price I could buy 3 NOCO gb40s and put one in each of my 3 cars lol.

Does the Packout Magnetic tray stick to metal surfaces (like a HVAC Unit) or just packout clamps?

As the title says, is there a hard case available for kit 3693-22CX?

Saw this in store during a Milwaukee event and I scoffed at it until my curiosity got the best of me… didn’t know this was a dual power mode fan so of course in my lack of self control ways, brought this bad boy home. Pretty slick and quiet unit and appears to be quite rugged. Perfect addition to keeping me cool in my rather hot garage while wrenching on cars. Also doubles as a good mosquito repeller as they’re awful where I am at.

I just came across this sweet deal for 2 m12 5ah batteries at federated tool supply (Canadien tool company) for 148$cad or about 100 usd idk if they ship to the usa but if they do i may be a real good deal for anyone in the USA.

m12 5ah x2

Unfortunately my saw fell in my work van 2 ft off my toolbox and landed just right to snap the bolt into pieces. Anyone know where I can get parts to fix and replace the broken pieces?

Its in warranty but I do not think this would be covered.

Hello!

I thought I'd share my 3D printed Milwaukee tool holders that are intended to be used with IKEA Skadis board. So far I made models for 32x Bit Holder, Fastback 6in1 knife, scissors and a ratchet screwdriver.

I also included STEP files in all uploads so if you are a CAD user you can also tweak them to your needs (just remember to tag me if you share any remixes).

Have fun!
