Milwaukee Tools

Almost forgot, this thing is awesome too! We use it camping every single time, charging phones, airing up mattresses, and also watching movies!

Ya those things are awesome! I use one to power my fridge in the summer time. Sooooo much nicer to have cold water and Gatorade when you are working your tail off all day in 100 degree weather. In a hot car (back windows rolled down a little), it takes about 3 AH per hour to keep the fridge at 35 or 36 degrees. I like it cold else is run it at 42 and save some juice. Instead, I chuck a 12AH on it in the morning, then swap it out around lunch.

They also work great for laptops on road trips when you forgot to charge it, small projectors outside, and all that small stuff.

 

Love mine.

 

Pay them off.

Do it.

DO IT.

DO IT NOW!

The HD line of credit card is only good if you spend at least 10k a year there, IMO.

 

At Home Depot yesterday and was informed that if you purchase with the HD credit card then the return period is ONE YEAR - I need to determine if that is true and if it applies to everything.

 

That depends on who is working the register at the CS desk. Yes, it is true, but I've had to fight tooth and nail with some folks at the register. I had one manager show up and flat out refuse to discuss it or acknowledge my account and the correct return period. I would have had to escalate it to the store manager who was out for a few days and didn't bother for $40 in returns. That was around the time that they changed the standard return window from 90 days to 30 days so she was just trying to bully everybody who was "trying to take advantage of the system".

 

I do this pretty much with all batteries. Including my phone. If it dies in the middle of the day and I can't charge it til I get home or go to bed I don't see that as a bad thing. It forces me to have less screen time which is a bonus.

And like a few others have also said, I too keep my chargers and batteries in my house, not my shed when the tools aren't being used.


Edit: I can't believe I posted in this thread. The last thing I need is another addiction... And y'all ain't helping none. I just power read through the whole thread and have a giant list of excuses of why I need to start changing all my tools over now.

 

Decided to go with a bigger kit going to build a m12 kit for work
I like that they are smaller easier to store
I rarely run into anything really heavy duty and already have those tools anyway

 

This was the latest buy. Thought it would be nice for those tight spots.

 

That’s next on my list

 

Could have used this yesterday when drilling my frame. Looks like I’ll be buying

Anyone have a lead on decent quality stubby drill bits?

 

Doesn’t look like a bad deal to me @RainMan_PNW

 

Anddddd.. ordered.


I hate you guys..

 

If you don’t need the battery, even better deal… just return the battery when you pick up the order (or within the return window) and the driver kit is only $124

 

Well I already have a couple of different Milwaukee heated jackets but not a vest so decided to get one today.

 

These are my go to bits

I’m a Klein fan for hand tools, they even make bbq tools too!

 

Love my Klein stuff but you guys gotta try a few Japanese hand tools. Fit and finish is next level. As simple as ordering off Amazon.co.jp!

 

I love them! This makes the third one for me. And if you're a hunter that sets in cold weather, the hand warmer that's electric heated is awesome also. My kids have the heated jackets also and get a lot of use out of them.

 

Those strippers were the only red tool I owned, use them almost every day
They're sharp make sure the wire is in the correct size notch or it gets a little shorter

 

Send me some samples

 

I got-chu!

 

Different kind of hand tool but this thing is wicked

 

Silky Zubat. I keep one in my truck. Lol. I have a Pocket Boy as well in my get home/bush bag.
