milwaukee m12 tools - Page 7 - Plumbing Zone

I own a lot of M12 tools...the copper cutter, impact driver, pvc shear, hackzall, led flashlight...I love them all. Milwaukee just came out with a No Hub driver for putting cast iron together. It has 3 settings.. 60 ft/lb, 80 ft/lb and drill. I will be ordering that when it is available.

Also...the popular hackzall will be offered under the M18 line, with a new 18 volt Li Ion battery....that's gonna rock!

I like the bag.
Been using metal cases for years and when they came out with the plastic ones I thought, "OMG! Crap with a handle." but I was proved wrong. But I'm not crazy about just throwing everything into a toolbag so I customized mine a bit. The DeWalt bit set is an essential that travels with the M12 kit:

This is the guts. There's sure to be more crap thrown in there over time (I also carry a small 3/8's drive corded drill in it too, actually):

Some styrofoam carved and an old tea towel glued over it with adhesive spray. WOrks good and everything is well protected.

That's a great idea with the carved out piece of foam. I'm gonna have to steal that idea for mine.

Their lithium ion batteries are the best in the industry. My 28volt batteries lasted about 5 years.

I like the hackzaw better than all the rest of the milwauke tools combined. Better watch that pvc cutter......the pvc will exploded somtimes. The radio's cool too.
I dont run enough copper to enjoy the copper cutter but it works too.

Went out and brought the Milwaukee M12 tubing cutter on Saturday April 3 at Home Dept for 219.00 plus tax. Thought it came with two batteries (Home Depot catalog said 2 but box only say comes with 1 battery

). Thought I could use it on a really tight copper cut but ended up can't use it either since the pipes are too close to the joist. I've decided to keep it anyway. Thought about getting one for many months, but decided to hold off until I could actually have a job that I could test it on. Here is pictures of what I though I could use it on but I went with the Milwaukee M12 Hackzall and little Imp tubing cutter instead

. That white PVC pipe is for the built in vaccuum system, not drain pipes.

I'll get that for ya in the morning. The batteries are beaten to death though. I doubt the serial # is readable.
