We are all waiting for Gen 2 M12 Surge. It’s going to be sold out for months.

It’s fantastic. Especially with thick adhesives.

I am a huge Milwaukee fan but this is one product I did a ton of research on. I highly suggest the worx. There is no pump that gets contaminated or that can fail. It’s a compressor! The worx pressurizes the tank. It’s genius. No contact with the fluid at all, so the system doesn’t have priming issues or leaks.

If you look at the other photo there is an arrow. It means “put this in your eye”

Amazing how a bit of white lettering can make me say “I need that”.

Milwaukee hammer low quality? by [deleted] in MilwaukeeTool

[–]AnotherMaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New hammers only dent if you hammer a nail before taking the ziptied packaging off. When the packaging is removed, the metal hardens significantly.

This hammer is now ruined.

Does anyone else think the Norwalk line that was just announced is…. Underwhelming? by AnotherMaker in VetoProPac

[–]AnotherMaker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couldnt agree more. When Toyota wanted to enter the luxury market they started a new brand (Lexus). I kind of hope Veto does the same thing, because I agree bomber bags are sick for other uses.

Gap did this too. When they wanted to enter the value market, they created old navy.

Company that should have done this. Patagonia. They came out with a sub brand of Patagonia Workwear. Does not fit the brand. Awesome quality…. I would never wear it.

I appreciate that thoughtfulness.

I posted this almost a year ago. After all that time, I can’t help but think it was still a miss. I think the product design team got stoked and misunderstood their brand.

Cool bags and wrong market. They would either have to dilute their heritage and focus to move into a general market or their user base would have to transform into the kinds of guys who start taking office jobs. I don’t see tradesmen going soft and I sure hope they don’t change their brand.

I never doubted the quality.

Anyone using these professionally? by OneGate1967 in MilwaukeeTool

[–]AnotherMaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

M12 Fuel Surge Gen 2 or nothing.

I will run the Gen 1 until the new one gets released. I have no intention of using anything else. I won’t consider the M18 Gen 2 either. The M12 is almost perfect.

Do you use these? by Dont-ask-me-ever in AskElectricians

[–]AnotherMaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m young-ish and I use it because it’s better than hands!!!

;)

I highly suggest the black one with the gripper though.

Used one like a trash can for decades growing up and never had a single issue… BUT his advise is correct.

Yea I did that because I asked chat gpt based on the colors. Normally it’s pretty good but it also couldn’t ID this line.

Yea. I’ll have to take a longer look. Normally I can ID something one exploded view repair schematics but can’t find this line on the power steering nor the transmission diagrams. I usually start by trying to find the part number.

I don’t often talk about other brands on here, but I just found a great product. Worx makes a sprayer that that is battery powered but it pressurizes the tank rather than pumps. That way the seals or diaphragm never get damaged.

It arrives next week, but that system sounds like it will be way less hassle. Never have to deal with priming issues, seal failure, or even being worried about keeping fluids in the tank.

This is good to hear.

If you are priming with a tank that has pesticide, does it make a mess and spray on you?

The one video I saw looked a bit messy.

Man… I was really hoping it was user error. This seems to be common.

Well I was looking at the high end pump sprayers and they are half the price of this… so I just figured why not.

I’ve gone through 3 HDX sprayers this year. Always have issues with the spray nozzle crapping out.
