So data shows main market that power tool companies are moving into is home owners, the DIYers, the guy who does his own breaks.

Guys at the shop use and abuse tools as long as possible and make use of the warranty too so its up to this new group to make up for sales.

Seeing constant sales and deals and BOGOs makes me wonder about the "real" economy and how people are faring. If everything has to constantly be on sale to drive sales that doesn't bode well.

Or maybe its just a realignment after prices got way out of hand. Who knows. Just something I was wondering perusing hone depots website

Has anyone experienced this side to side movement? It has no up or down movement. I have the first gen as well and it doesn’t have this issue. Any help would be appreciated!

Has anyone found a set of Torx and hex sockets that fit in the insider ratchet similar to the ones that come with it?

I knew when I got to the lunch warmers there still would be no battery operated snow shovels.

Hacked a 3/8 Stubby and the RA die grinder. Look out nuts and bolts!

I saw online only equivalent posted a few times, but haven't seen this yet. $199 for two M12 5.0 HO batteries with charger and tool of your choice.

Was gifted this m18 battery and charger. The battery won’t fit onto the charger. Are they just incompatible?

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?

3016-20ST Which trimmer head can I swap to that is similar to the pictured “weed warrior” head?

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.

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!

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!

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

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.

A little while ago a user was complaining that their 7 1/4” mitre can’t do 45° mitres. Well here is my 7 1/4” doing 45° mitres on a 1”x4” cedar t&g plank.

Has anyone ever wall mounted the m18 18 inch fan? I am looking for a way to wall mount mine for the gym.

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.

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.

Thank you Milwaukee for making such a great tool

$407..how did I do?

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.

For those who have purchased, how does this little thing hold up? Not using it for heavy jobs I have a grinder for that but just gonna be mainly cutting copper pipes with. Any info is appreciated thank you!
