milwaukee m12 tools - Page 2 - Plumbing Zone

I bought the M12 drill today at Homies. 149.00., I had to purchase a couple of hard hats as well, and when I was on my way to that section of the store, I passed by more Millwalkee tools. I found the same M12 drill with a RADIO, for the same freakin price. I was shocked, I almost got screwed when i was about to pay the same thing for just the drill. I like it. Getting the mini saw zaw next.

Didn't charge them cold did ya? I got the power port portable power but the mofo dont work. I bought it off ebay from northern tool and it was drop shipped form milwaukee.....only tool that came straight from milwaukee out of 5 or 6 and its the one thats shiots out on me! I did save all the upc codes off the box's tho,so warranty should be valid.

I saw this kit at Home Depot, looks like something a HO would buy to me. Two Words for that kit "Boat Anchor" Now that "jonni-bar" thats something worth buying. What will they come up with next?

You don't know squat, that is a great little combo, I have used the crud out of mine.

I put these in the same category as the battery tape measure and battery crescent wrench. Call me old fashioned

Hater. My dewalt shtuff has took a dump on me as well. I am going to try out this milwalkuee stuff. WIth this job I have going on, should let me know by the end of it, if they are worth crap or not.

GREENPLUM · 01-10-2010, 08:54 PM

i buy a new dewalt 4 piece kit about every 2 years, but batt copper cutters, shears, and whatever else comes in that kit is more trouble then its worth for me, keeping batts charged to cut copper or tubular pipe is alot of work for a ez cut. How much is new blades, what happens if you get dirt on them, spill some primer on it, drop it, look at it funny, my HAND tools work every time.

The hackzall is more of a service tool than a new construction tool. When used as intended it's a great addition. It'll fit in your tool box/bucket and cut where your sawzall can't get to.

They seriously need to improve their batteries though. I think I'm gonna send mine in soon if it's not too much of a PITA. About a year old and 50% of what they used to be. Won't charge fully anymore even at room temp. They barely work cold, nevermind charge cold.
