Milwaukee Tools

Is it only medium size?

 

Nope. They had M, L & XL

 

A local tool shop is retiring and have been slowly increasing their % off discount as their inventory is dwindling. I paid $75 cash for this today.



Notice all the yellow still on the shelves in the background... Lol

 

Oh Damn. That's a freaking good price!
I am looking for drill bits and screwdriver bits, wonder if those wear and tear stuff is worth going all Milwaukee, cause they ain't cheap....

 

When it comes to drill bits, there are different levels that Milwaukee makes. The higher end bits are great but pricey, the "general purpose" ones don't hold up and aren't worth it imo. You get what you pay for here
The shockwave driver bits are pretty solid, reasonably priced, and have nice etching on every bit to identify it.

 

Alright now...

Whoever said a certain packout (linked the model#, etc...) was deep enough to hold the air inflator.... it's the wrong one; it's not deep enough to accommodate the inflator

 

That is @T-Rex266 and you he tells us to "trim the nipples" to permit it to lay flat.

 

Best drill bits out there

Drill bits I usually go to our local industrial specialty supply store for what I need. I have picked up a few of the name brand sets over the years and never really been that impressed - including some ridiculously expensive options. The industrial supply place is selling to machine shops and fabricators that need hard use stuff and they just perform better and last longer (and they come in basic paper sleeves or tubes for the larger bits, not big plastic clamshells covered in marketing jargon)

 

That’s where I get mine from
“Copper state nut and bolt”

 

My HF titanium 27pc $9 special has treated me well after some abuse. Most metal cuts larger than 1/4” I’ll take out the hougen annular cutters. Cheap step drill bits work well also. Key to all bits is to just keep em cool with some cutting fluid. Made mine from Ballistol and a touch of water.

 

Did you pull the 'cord winder' off the back of that thing or what???

 

Just to be sure

Yep...

It says 7" deep... but lies, lies I tell you

Maybe 7 girl inches

 

So, once I remove that will it fit or do I need to break out a heat guy and a shape some plastic, pull some rubber, and make other adjustments???

 

Don’t forget to trim the nipples…

 

I'm gonna snap them MF'rs till they just fall off

 

Ok, much better...

 

Store card update...went to the Depot yesterday to verify the card balance and possibly acquire a new red tool...card balance was a whopping 1.34 or some such. We both looked at each other and laughed, then perused the tool section, then went to get margarittas at a Mexican restaurant appropriately named Tequila. Sadly, no tools added to the inventory just yet, but we did celebrate National Margaritta Day correctly.
