    I can speak from experience working on LAU-127 missile launchers while using a manual hammer driven impact tool (we tried to use an impact driver, but it kept rounding out the screws), we used government supplied bits and they would shatter after loosening 1 or 2 screws. Milwaukee fared a little better, but we went though 5 Milwaukee #3 Phillips tips (impact rated) on one launcher. We then tried a DeWalt #3 impact rated tip, and it shattered almost as fast as the Government supplied tips. We then tried the Milwaukee Impact rated #3 Phillips and these things really held up to the brutal punishment we put them through. We were able to remove all the screws in 5 LAU-127 launchers and only shattered one tip. That is my experience.

    On Saturday I started up the M18 hatchet with a Forge battery. FANTASTIC tool! Pruning made fun again!

    None at this point.
    Have a lot of Milwaukee tools myself.
    Been very happy with them!!
    While Makita makes some good stuff I think they're a bit overrated.

    Couldn't justify getting the 15mm M18 one, though I want to! This set was $219 and since my wife's car is the new Venza, this should work OK for a while, then maybe upgrade to the 15MM when it goes on sale end of year like last.

    Do you have the flat 4 side socket part number?
    Gonna be wanting to watch the price and get one.
    Also, I think you got this whole thing as a set, can you share that part number as well.
    Thanks.

    @Ghost Rider Looks like the bundle set that I got is on sale right now like $50 off. The flat side sockets alone are just giving a free tool with online purchase, found part numbers for both options posted below. I have been loving both sets so far!

    I can’t say the same for the drill I burned up the other day or the vacuum that works intermittently

    HD had the deal of the day, that also included a Milwaukee hat I wanted. I ordered it. A few hours later they called saying it sold out :(

    If it makes you feel any better I tried to order a Milwaukee hat online about 3 weeks ago, I wanted a grey fitted one in large/Xl and they sent me an all black one in a small/medium. WTF am I supposed to do with that lol? Still sitting in the bag in my garage. Seems HD is dropping the ball on the hats lately

    HD has some deal of the days today with Milwaukee. Unfortunately, they don’t appear too attractive this time.
