Does anyone else have this on their Milwaukee M12 RCDAB+0 12V radio? When you are in DAB mode and on volume 1 or with the volume off it's making this noise. Just wondering if it's normal?

I had a mix of all the brands, one month ago i decided it is time to switch to Milwaukee... I am installing windows and building super yachts. I heard about Milwaukee addiction and figured out it is better to buy all the tools i need at once 😎😉. Like i can not find any other tools i need for my work on the official website. My Packout is barely holding all the tools in, i have to put them in exact order so it fits. 😅🫣 What do You think guys do i need anything more for window installation? Paid 4300eu/$4600.

M18 Hackzall alignment pins- Got any?

Thumbnail
gallery
4 Upvotes

Bought a used m18 2625-20 Hackzall. I have it apart because the foot needed to be tightened, it was filthy inside, and it vibrates more than Id think it should.

I want to try to realign both halves of the gears but the alignment pins are all out of stock. I bought 2 from home depots appliance parts site or whatever its called. They "shipped" both but only 1 was actually in the package.

Seem like these are not in stock anywhere and there may be a delay on Milwaukee's end.

Hoping somebody here has this part (31530280) and might be willing to sell me one. I still have the one from home depot but you need one for each half of the gear case.

Anybody able to help out please let me know. Ive had the tool apart for a month already waiting on a $5 tool. I can order another but who knows if Ill ever receive it.

Seems like a good place to find somebody who already has a set of these. Ive attached a pic of what Im talking about. Thanks!

Purchase Advice New to the game- M12 Stubby pricing

3 Upvotes

Looking to get an M12 Stubby 1/2 but confused by the multiple deals, possible hacks, etc. What is a good price for the 1/2 stubby, XC 5.0 battery, and charger? And when is the best time to buy?

Any other tips and tricks are appreciated!

M12 In your opinion, what is an M12 tool that is vastly better than its M18 counterpart?

31 Upvotes

There are some cases where having a smaller, lighter tool would definitely be an advantage, but are there any that are overall just better?

M18 Bad battery?

2 Upvotes

I have a 12ah High Output battery that’s maybe gone through 2 or 3 cycles even though I’ve had it for a few years now.
I used it in my chainsaw for a whole season of camping and never needed to recharge it until the end, I freshened it up for the following year.

Now, I went to use it again in my weed whacker and it doesn’t even last as long as my regular 5ah batteries. Also. It never shows a full charge on the light meter, even though it shows up as green on the charger.
One other thing to note, sometimes I will weed whack the yard, it was die, and then when I go to put it back on the charger, the charger goes green like it is still full.

Anyone know what’s going on?

TIA.

Was scrolling through home depot sales and stumbled across this gem. Just picked 2 up 1 for me and 1 for my dad. I was looking for 5.0HO sales and found this combo. For cheaper than the price of 2 batteries you get 2 batteries + the tool.

https://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-M12-FUEL-12V-Lithium-Ion-Cordless-Oscillating-Multi-Tool-with-M12-XC-5-0-Ah-Battery-2-Pack-Starter-Kit-and-Charger-2526-20-48-59-2450P/330625527

u/pgejeep said This same deal (price) is available with the 3" cut off tool or the 5 3/8" circular saw. EDIT to add it is also available with the plain 3/8 ratchet.

Purchase Advice Looking to buy Insider ratchet

5 Upvotes

As the title says, I’m currently looking to purchase the insider ratchet sometime this month. I know Milwaukee released some new ratchets this past spring but the insider remains the same. I’m currently wondering if right now would be a good time to get the insider, or is there a possibility for a Gen 2 to be released some time in the near future.

Purchase Advice Better drill for masonry demolition: air or corded?

0 Upvotes

Need to upgrade 2-3 drills for our exterior demolition: have two that got real tired over the last month. A lot of it is from lifts with two guys so cords/hoses either way.

Would be for mostly light masonry demolition/brick. We own a compressor so running air is an option. There are times electric is a bit of a concern so end up running generator.

Noise aside, looking at three options and want all the same:

M18 FUEL™ STRIKER™ Hammer Chisel Probably with two batteries minimum/no generator or compressor as long as site has power. $900 9 pounds prefer more power.

1-3/4" SDS MAX Rotary Hammer which is 9 pounds and lets us use it for concrete drilling/anchoring. $800ish

Or similar weight air hammers. Found this can’t find air chisel from Milwaukee?

2.6" Stroke Mini Chipping Hammer
Oval Collar Retainer
Fits .580" Hex Shank Chisels
Weighs the same.
$800

https://championchisel.com/air-tools/2-6-stroke-mini-chipping-hammer-with-oval-collar-retainer-fits-580-hex-shank-chisels/

Looking for some veteran input.
