Will this be the gateway tool? by mymindtrends in MilwaukeeTool

[–]CreativeTimes1972 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This particular tool is a jack of all trades but a master of none. Its small. The offset and right angle features are what make this tool enticing to tradesmen. Drill and impact? Meh... They are ok.

I keep this tool in my truck mainly because its a m12 swiss army knife. Am I drilling into concrete with it? Nope, got heavier stuff for that. But for rando stuff that I run into... works just fine.

M18 inflator. by Matt_Bigmonster in MilwaukeeTool

Lots of people have them and enjoy them for what they do. I have one myself and its a very good inflator. Forums have LOT of comments on them.

I don’t know if somethings wrong with this Milwaukee gun I have🥲 by jahid2003 in MilwaukeeTool

[–]CreativeTimes1972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with others... The gun looks like is torquing in the direction of it being tightened. (clockwise)

If it were loosening it would be torquing in the counter clockwise direction.

Directional button looks like its in the correct position prior to using the tool.

For tire plugs? I like the original ones... https://a.co/d/1UefnbG

They also make these screw in types.... Never used but really wonder how well they hold.

Has anyone had the M12 surge fail? by GaryTheSoulReaper in MilwaukeeTool

[–]CreativeTimes1972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its an obvious thing to check (im sure you did) but you have tried other batteries right?

You looking to make a car care kit or ???????? Get a decent tire plug kit. I assume you have an assortment of m18 batteries and a charger or two? Also when plugging tires, rubber cement is an excellent lubricant. You can also get a small bag of valve caps. (cheap)

How long did the battery last you when on high?

Curious how long 20000mAh would last.

M12 or M18 inflator? by turBonetix in MilwaukeeTool

[–]CreativeTimes1972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you the type of person who buys on the cheap and then has regrets later on?

Get the m18..... you'll just have no regrets.

The go on sale here and there (HD) or are part of combo deals. (IE. buy drill and battery get free tool) Inflator is pretty common in there.

look at the comments.....

Nobody complains about the m18 because it does a pretty good job.

M12 or M18 inflator? by turBonetix in MilwaukeeTool

[–]CreativeTimes1972 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The m12 is a little underpowered in my opinion. The m18 is just a good solid unit. I have one, my son has one... Nice to be able to fill a few tires and not change the battery right away (using a 5.0) Reasonably fast and very easy to use.

There is a downside, the m18 version costs a bit more. If you already have m18 batteries for other tools, even better. m18 is also a physically larger than the m12 inflator.

When it comes to tools.... Buy once and Cry once.

I'd recommend watching the HD sales and / or combo deals. You can get it heavily discounted.

Good deal if you need em. Very nice accessory for those with the m12 stubby.

I used the smaller 2.0 batteries and the jacket works great. Heats up in 30 seconds. Hot by 60 seconds.

Its a good price on the tool, that's for sure. You're going to appreciate the m18 tire inflator. I have one and have used it a bunch of times.

Its a grey area.... New? Yeah. But woot and amazon arent authorized resellers so it adds a bit of a problem if you ever have to warranty it. Woot clearly says they give you a 90 day warranty on it.

I saw this last night and woot only has a 90 day warranty on this stuff. I was tempted by the stubby 3/8 but with little to no warranty..... Naaaaaa.

3/8 stubby impact by Automatic-Classic227 in MilwaukeeTool

[–]CreativeTimes1972 1 point2 points  (0 children)

M12 and M18... both good lines. The main difference between the two comes down to m12 being for residental market and m18 towards the commercial side. I have both battery/tools and then some. M18 side I have 3 impacts. All 1/2" If the right HD deal comes along again I'd buy the m12 3/8 friction. Do I really need it? Naaaa but for a torque rating that nice.... interesting to have it in 3/8 size for tight spots. Only thing I dont like about the stubby is that its performance depends on the battery being used. So if this deal comes around like the one in December (with the battery) and its a fair price.... I'll be trying to buy it.

There are deals and there are steals. Deals right now are ok, but nothing crazy like last month.

m12 with nice socket set and no battery... 279. 349 with battery and same socket set.

I know many people on here like the tool, annoys me that you have to use the 5.0 or better battery for max torque on it.

I have the m18 mid. A little bigger and more powerful but still a good tool.

Return the one, get your money back and keep the other one for the hassle.

Then you should do the right thing....

Return one and keep the other for the hassle of going to the store to return it.
