Power Tool Perverts

[Krarl]

I’m a loser, I want all the packout stuff in red 😂 my tstak and packout collection is growing rapidly

All my s**t lives in drawers of my rollcab 😂

I've purposefully steered away from Milwaukee packout because I already have loads of Fatmax tackle too 😂

I've been thinking about a multitool...

 

[botfch]

I've told a few of my mates in the US that they're gonna have to start shipping me tools

Home Depot has sales of Milwaukee stuff where they live in St Louis. Its ridiculous

Milwaukee originated from Home Depot apparently, which is kinda interesting.

Looking recommendations on model and where to buy these:

Dewalt 1/2 inch impact wrench body only (got a Dewalt 18v combi drill with two 4ah batteries)
Milwaukee M12 ratchet (is the extended reach worth it or not?)
Milwaukee M12 3/8 inch impact wrench

Figure as already have Dewalt batteries might as well stick with them for 18v tools and use Milwaukee for 12v tools.

I’ll be neutral in the Red and Yellow war in this thread 😂

Extended reach is defo worth it, I hardly use my normal one anymore.

If you find a better deal elsewhere Nathan usually comes down to or beats their price

I've only got the extended version and I'm glad I made the choice over the regular tbh.

Used it a few times where the normal one wouldn't have got into.

It’s awesome for getting down the back of engines.

I’d recommend anyone get one before they buy a normal impact guns so useful.

One of the builders I deal with has a place in the states so gets loads of Milwaukee stuff. Showed me inside his van the other day and it'd have some of you chap's f**king creaming.

All Milwaukee tools, all less than 2 years old and all in the pack out cases. Looked impressive.

No pics?

I'm not angry, just disappointed

 

[JamesBryan]

@dann2707 how have you been doing the warranty for imports?

I'm lead to believe they're not eligible, but you say you've not had any issues doing it.

Few lads on the Facebook pages are unable to input the code off the sticker.

Sadly not, but the guy is very well off and appears to just do some building to keep boredom at bay.

Sent his wife to pick some steel up in a Porsche Cayenne 😂

I'm struggling to add this one too this time because the code is how the Americans get them so the tool identify is a 2830- number or whatever it is.

I might fire off an email to mw to see if its eligible. Unless they discovered a fix? What FB page was this?

Can't remember now, think it was either the power tool mate group or the Milwaukee buying and selling page.

I know everyone’s going Red but here’s 1 4 the blue boys 👍🏻

 

[Flat Eric]

I must admit. For the 8 or so year I spent on the tools plumbing we always used makita and never had any issues

 

[botfch]

Majority of them come from China so I bet it’s the same factory at the end of the day.

The Ryobi nail gun my dad got the other day said Vietnam.

Never noticed power tools coming from there before.

I watched a thing in work that talked about companies moving work there because China is getting expensive.

Those Ryobi nail guns are apparently better than the other bigger brands according to reviews.

It's Milwaukee brother pips it on weight and efficiency, but it's still very good yeah.

Half the price of the 18G Milwaukee.

Yeah agreed, my brother in law uses makita stuff and has no problems.

I have no issues with them either it's just for me milwaukee are more aimed at the auto enthusiast and have dominated that market.

Agreed. I think Makita have a better all round range with their garden stuff and mix of DIY and Mechanics tools but the feel of other tools seems better.

I prefer Dewalts general build quality and some of the Milwaukee mechanics stuff is miles ahead of where Makita are.

 

[dann2707]

What's everyone buying next?

It's my birthday soon so tempted to ask for the uprated version of the angle grinder. Milwaukee do a 4 1/2 to 6" version that's not as popular here and tempted to get that imported as its £180 all in rather than £300.

Supposed to be much much better than the £140 ish one we have here.

I want to get a multi tool next to be fair.

 

[donnylad]

I want a jigsaw!

 

[JamesBryan]

I want a jigsaw!

1000 piece or?

hopefully can get work to pay for that though 😍

Same. Been watching loads of videos on them and loads of people suggest the m12

The torque wrenches are good for electrical HV work, but they're not really designed for the automotive industry.

Was talking to @Yorkshire Pudding about them recently.

For that money too I'd want angle torque tightening.

 

[Krarl]

Aye a few of the lads that come in to do our HV work have Milwaukee tackle for that

But when they're working on an 11KV cable you kinda want to make sure its right😂

 

[Flat Eric]

Ye the m12 looks ideal. I only have M18 tools so far so would have to get one with a battery. I guess it would start the slippery slope of m12 purchases though.

Yep, I do HV work so that’s my reasoning for work to buy them

Didn't for me but I have a much better party trick

 

[scotiamr2t]

what a thread to find, some great tools in here.

I’m now looking to replace some tools at work, impact driver, Combi drill, grinder, jigsaw and a few other bits.

any recommendations as to a one stop shop for all, save multiple orders.

 

[RustyMojo]

To big an open goal to miss this one....

....you don’t know how right you are 😂

What do you want from the tools?

If you work in automotive - Milwaukee
If youre poor - DeWalt/Makita

I'll bite.

Wait until you come to pick your crimper up, you'll see makita and poor don't always need to go hand in hand.....

They just do with me lol.

It’s very impressive! If you ever question whether you have too many tools, just think of John 😂

 

[josh11490]

I need a new impact gun

And I'm drawn to milwaukee... there's a few options though, it'll mostly be used for wheels, suspicion parts and general maintenance, ideally 1/2" drive...

I've got a Clarke one that's a bit s**t and won't undo wheel bolts without cracking them first.
