🔖 Deals Milwaukee M12 Underhood light $150 tool only from the Depot

[greasy]

Very solid response and appreciate the candid feedback.
I have mostly the mechanic side of things and my main gripe is the battery size of the Dewalt stuff.
Physical size of the packs makes it hard to fit the tool in smaller areas.
The Flexvolt miter and scroll saw I have are very nice to use and do very nice work.
I do lust after Milwaukee's impact and ratchets mostly for their power and size.

Our batteries really are no bigger than what Milwaukee has. Our 12V lineup was revamped 2 years ago and has some great stuff if you are looking for sub-compact. We also have our Atomic line of 20V tools which are more compact. Milwaukee's high torque impact is better than ours currently but that will be rectified later this year as well, we have new high toque units coming out (1,600 ft lbs of break-away torque/1,200 ft lbs fastening). We have a whole new lineup of stubby impacts and a 3/8" ratchet too. Fret not my friend!

We always play the back and forth game with them, we launch something, then they launch something better. We are addressing things that we have holes on in our arsenal.

What I like about the Milwaukee ratchets is that the batteries go in the handle so I don't have a big square battery on the end of the handle dragging things down or being in the way.

neat but damn is that pricey for what it is

Battery OP ratchets changed my fucking life.

IMO, Milwaukee is kicking everybody's ass in the cordless market. Badly.
This is coming from a guy who is heavily invested in the Dewalt Flexvolt system.
I wish I had bought Milwaukee stuff.

There's been a few times where Ive thought the same but am Team Yellow because it would cost me a fortune to try to go Team Red at this point.

Here at work we are all Milwaukee now because DeWalt isnt making these smaller drivers we use.... We used to be DeWalt and Bosch, but have been going all Milwaukee lately.

Turn it the other way though? Looks wide?

If I wasn’t so balls deep in Milwaukee I’d consider switching, but I’m so far invested I’m full bean bunging.

I have been slowly going over to Milwaukee as well. I follow Project Farm on youtube and Milwaukee is constantly on the top.

From personal experience, Milwaukee vs Ryobi vs no name vs Makita bits...... milwaukee is best quality.

I always grab the 12V screwdriver for most tasks and the 18v impact driver for the rest. Ryobi is now garage and backup duty.

The width of the 2.0Ah which is on that tool is just shy of 3” in width. That ratchet will also be made in a 12V tool and that battery is just under 2.5”

Every time I use one at work I die a little on the inside.

 

[FESTER665]

Biggest thing I need is this price to be like half that....

Im already thinking about giving my dad my Honda mower and grabbing a DeWalt one after fucking Yaj Yak had to open that can of worms.

You just gotta wait for the deals, earlier this year 12.0s were $168/ea

Spend them Biden bucks

There is a shortage on Li-Ion, don't expect much in the way of deals on batteries from anyone.

 

[DEEZUZ]

Ded?

 

[Chet Donnelly]

I've always liked DeWalt....but the deals on Milwaukee have sucked me in to the point of no return. There is no going back now.

 

[DEEZUZ]

This being less than 2 inches wide is what makes me giggle... It's literally make or break if this thing fits into spaces.

[DEEZUZ]

Sometimes I gotta get retarded though and use the big boi

 

[DEEZUZ]

I think the issue with both manufacturers is they don't directly cater to the automotive group, like say snap on (although I will never own a battery operated tool from them)

 

[DEEZUZ]

If someone, say Dewalt, wanted to pay a guy like me(6 figures) to finger fuck their tools on trucks/automotive world I'd gladly do it just to get ahead of other competitors

 

[DEEZUZ]

1099 me greasy

I get what greasy is saying about the prices being high for awhile, but if you come across that price again please let me know.
