our guys at work use them in rain, snow, extreme cold & heat, and they do just fine. not a cute climate controlled situation like you.
weird.
it's fun too cuz nowhere did i bash your stuff
Yep... Two of my next few purchases (just bought the sawzall last week) are going to be the 60v weed whacker and blower to ditch my gas stuff...
I realistically should have sprung for the 60v sawzall, but I dont use them as much as i used to so the 20v version will be more than fine.
Need to get into their brushless impacts really soon as well.
Oh and the Flexvolt sliding compound miter saw.
I swear I could spend $10,000 there in about 5 minutes.
they have so much ingenious shit, i love just looking at their site to see what they thought up now... i mean i think they just released a job site wifi system powered by the batteries?

We use Milwaukee electric screwdrivers at work... We go through them like crazy as much as the girls use them...
Theyre good tools, but they just use the hell out of them and I like to keep the battery format the same so there's a bank of batteries around the shop that people can use batteries from.

My problem is i see the new stuff and think I really do need it....
Like they have a Flex Volt track saw now. Will I ever use that? probably not. Do I still want it? Of course.
Would buy if it's on the Flex Volt platform.
right
some of their stuff is so unbelievably obscure and they know they are going to sell such limited quantities of it- and it's priced accordingly
cordless dieless crimping tool?
SURE $3800 please

No, we rarely do cables that large to justify it. We have smaller presses and applicators though for other crimps... Like these machines:
Still stupid expensive though.

Didn't know sharing real world experience was 'bashing'
Good to have you and your unreasonableisticnesses back
I ended up with DeWalt stuff years ago. I only had one failure. That was a small vacuum that failed after a couple uses. I am sure that was defective. I upgraded most of my stuff to the new 20v stuff. But some items are not available for 20v yet. So I still have two styles of batteries. But that isn't too bad. Plus I have so many batteries that I never have to worry about having a dead one.
That 60v flex battery is awesome too. Some items eat battery quickly. Like my cordless leaf blower. At least with that huge battery, I can do the garage, deck, driveway, and sidewalk before the battery dies.
I will say that if I was a professional I would be considering Milwaukee stuff for a couple reasons. The main reason would be their tools/battery are lighter than DeWalt stuff. That is pretty big when you are using those tools all day long. Their tools are usually smaller as well. Which allows better access and maneuverability. But for a shade tree mechanic and homeowner, the cost of their stuff doesn't offset those benefits.

I think the first time we meet we should either be atop a sky scraper or in a room full of medieval weapons or in a fast moving car or in a slave dungeon cause I really don't know how I'm going to react....
I might grab the wheel and swerve and kill us both, I might push you off said sky scraper, you might try to kill me with a mace, or I might just fuck you in a swing with a ball gag.
Too many emotions right now
This quest for new power tools turned into a birthday gift from my old man... pretty sweet. He insists on me getting snap on stuff because his good friend used their stuff forever and was a diesel and heavy equipment mechanic. I told him it is expensive for not much reason, but he is really set on the idea of snap on. So, looks like snap on stuff it is and I won’t exactly complain about that. I will let y’all know what I think of them and how they work.
