Milwaukee Tools

Does it come with the new locking anvil inserts or are those purchased separately?

 

You can get them with the bits...

 

Comes with your choice of metric or SAE inserts but it also has the 1/4" and 3/8" inserts to allow you to use your own sockets. Also comes with an insert to use all your driver bits.


Correction: Looks like metric is the only option it comes with. You'd have to buy the SAE parts separate. Item# 49-16-1640

 

Yup yup. But they have a new locking anvil that prevents the insert from coming out when you pull your socket off. Just wondering if they include that or if you need to buy separately. Looks like you may have the old style

 

Ahh I see. That would be nie to have. I do recall seeing a few review online about that. Thanks for sharing

 

Came with a set of metric sockets plus the 3/8 and 1/4 drive locking anvil and a 1/4 hex bit adapter.
I’ll eventually pick up the SAE sockets and a boot for it

 

Mine came with the locking ones

 

Aww man, now I wanna get locking anvils No fair mine didn't come with them.

 

Great. Now I "need" one of these. That is one slick setup.

 

I have been focused only on M18 but you folks are now making start in on M12 tools. That looks so sweet I must have one. What is the Milwaukee tool number?

 

3050-20 is what I got

 

Good ole Casey FORCING us to spend money again. You guys read the review from the guy who took a lathe to his sockets and removed an extra 1/8”? Must be able to get it into some insane spots..

 

that’s the part number I got too

I’m continuously amazed at the utility and compactness of the M12 tools. They don’t have the “cut 2x4’s all day on a single charge” power, but are my preferred tools for a lot of day-to-day use.

I’m now looking at the M12 oscillating tool because I like the size of it over the bigger M18 version for most of the things I use that tool for. May do the same with the barrel-grip jigsaw.
And the new High output 2.5 and 5.0 batteries are great.

 

That's exactly how I feel about some of these m12 tools. Sometimes it makes sense to have m12 over M18. I chose the m12 jig saw over the M18 for that exact reason and love it. I've only cut plexiglass with it but it's capable of cutting just about anything.


Also having a m12 stubby impact wrench was a must have for me. It's what I use the most.

 

Okay now looking for a M12 kit at a great price

 

I went to pick up the 90 degree 3/8" impact, bit the Homeless Despot didnt have it in stock and were being a pain about ordering one. Buggers still got me though...

 

yes.

 

I’ve got solid intel that says I’ll have my first Milwaukee under the Christmas tree. 2727 16” bar M18 chainsaw kit with a 12 ah battery. I’ve been avoiding popping my cherry for years. Work is all snap on and home is makita. As they crap out or otherwise disappoint me I’ll replace with Milwaukee.

 

Oscillating tool next. Don’t even have the first and I’ve started shopping for the second one!

 

Yep that's what I did

Now I need......one of everything

 

Ok experts
Which one of these batteries is better?

 

Just get em both

 

Already got the 3.0 2pack

 

Load testing M12 batteries showed these results:

His testing reflects my experiences with M12 batteries: XC6.0 is King.

 

I have a bunch of original and forge. I don’t notice any difference. Literally cannot tell the difference in any of my tools.
