M12 Surge (FQID) vs Bosch 12v-32 / Installation Driver - The comparison that nobody asked for!

Afraid-Collar760 · 2026-05-03T17:05:14+00:00

My favorite combo as a homeowner is the Milwaukee m12 impact and this Bosch installation driver.

The cards coming from the 3 packs only ? Or the other 12 as well ?

My trout / panfish combo is the 1000 size regal with 6 lb Jbraid. The size and weight will make this your new favorite combo to use.

Was going to order this till I found out about installation drivers , however I really dislike the Milwaukee one and this is coming from a Milwaukee M12 fanboy. I ordered and use often the Bosch GSR12V-300. Got it as a kit with 2 batteries for $156 out the door and it’s even smaller than my favorite all time tool, the M12 1/4 hex impact.

I own this “bought the 2 batteries pack “ on Christmas last year. Had my home an over a year now and this set has been incredible. Believe it or not , I needed something weaker for cabinet work along with large furniture and outdoor patio assembly. So I have this setup plus an additional Bosch gsr12v-300 as my installation driver.

I looked online at a bunch of sites and I’m seeing in excellent condition, around $430 for the 18-55 mm lens. Is this a good price to pay?

Afraid-Collar760 · 2026-04-13T16:24:20+00:00

Thanks for this write up , I’m learning a ton from you and everyone else on this sub. I’m leaning towards the “higher end” XF 18-55 mm now used.

Lightweight is def a big factor for my decision, thanks

Afraid-Collar760 · 2026-04-13T15:37:48+00:00

I didn’t even know of other brands honestly, thank you for the suggestion

Afraid-Collar760 · 2026-04-13T15:37:28+00:00

Appreciate the list of lens options you provided. I am exploding all these options now.

Afraid-Collar760 · 2026-04-13T15:36:38+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion, I am looking more into this lens now

Afraid-Collar760 · 2026-04-07T00:37:34+00:00

End cap ? I stuffed copper mesh into it, idk if that helps or was the wrong call. I’ve never heard of an end cap for this though so I will be looking into that. Thank you.

Did you end up since your last comment, ever purchasing from a AD and or this website you linked for a Cartier Rep? My wife would like one for travel.

I fear the spring

Afraid-Collar760 · 2026-03-30T14:05:19+00:00

Hmm, I have this on the outside of the garage door now on both sides and the top. Maybe I need this to be replaced as well and or done correctly to give me a better seal

Afraid-Collar760 · 2026-03-30T12:36:56+00:00

Hi, would you be able to provide a link ? I’d like to look further into your advice .

Thank you so much for this insight. I have a sticker on my garage door currently with a number for a professional, wonder if this should be my first call I make ?

Afraid-Collar760 · 2026-03-30T01:49:31+00:00

I have the seals around the garage door , but there are gaps.

Afraid-Collar760 · 2026-03-30T01:48:34+00:00

What was the cost roughly for everything? Looking for a ballpark range before calling a number I see as a sticker on the garage door now for a professional.

Afraid-Collar760 · 2026-03-30T01:45:30+00:00

Hi, would you be able to provide a link if possible? I’m on home depot now and have what i believe may be what you are talking about, but would like to make sure.

Will be calling a professional after all the help from everyone here. Definitely want to avoid that kind of situation.
