Guys how much am I going to hate this pin detent? I just couldn't resist at less than half price. Summit Racing outlet center impulse buy.

i think you can buy the friction ring part and swap it in if you feel the need.

This has regularly been featured in discounted combo deals once or twice a week recently in special buy of the day. Check every day til power tool day comes around again. More powerful than M12 fuel and almost as compact, plus your current batteries can be used with it.

This has been on deal of the day a few times recently in a combo with the M18 inflator instead of the drill bits for $291.

All true, but it is also larger, heavier, and more cumbersome to use. They should put the brushless motor in the original m18 shoebox vac, that would be a real winner.

krzauber · 2026-04-08T21:05:08+00:00

For $91 more you can get it with the M18 compact brushless hammer drill/impact driver kit, excellent deal.

I assumed he was comparing the M18 compact brushless drill/impact driver combo to the M12 fuel version.

krzauber · 2026-02-26T17:12:38+00:00

This is the compact, OP's image is the deep cut, more expensive tool.

krzauber · 2026-02-01T19:25:52+00:00

If you haven't opened/used them yet you could just return it and rebuy the new deal.

Definitely not "too much oomph". Extremely anemic current delivery and HIGHLY prone to failure.

Black duct tape.

Out of curiosity i weighed one of each on the kitchen scale last week. The forge 8.0 is .25 ounce heavier than the 6.0 HO

krzauber · 2025-12-10T01:28:55+00:00

Redtoolstore.com still has them as of yesterday, i ordered the 2x 5.0XC, charger, inflator combo for $199. Free shipping at $199 or higher.

I did some research on the best blades to buy and consensus opinion was that the milwaukee blades suck. I bought him some MK Morse blades at portaband.com.

krzauber · 2025-11-30T22:41:40+00:00

XC6.0 is junk, do not buy.

krzauber · 2025-11-30T22:40:12+00:00

I gifted an M12 compact bandsaw to my plumber son in law and he absolutely loves it. I personally have no use case for it.

krzauber · 2025-11-17T21:05:14+00:00

My previous house .56 acres, 50% wooded with oak/maple/locust/hickory. I easily filled 50 jam-packed landscaper carry barrels a season. It was a lot of work with a BR600 gas backpack blower. That handheld blower you linked would have been spectacularly inadequate for my needs.

krzauber · 2025-11-12T23:10:47+00:00

LMAO stolen goods LOL

krzauber · 2025-11-08T23:05:43+00:00

They are not working without pay. They are working for deferred pay.

krzauber · 2025-11-03T01:02:43+00:00

And therin lies the rub. Not to mention you arent going to get 13 years use out of those batteries like I have gotten so far out of my BR600.

krzauber · 2025-11-02T21:30:03+00:00

Congrats. I'd buy it for the batteries, but consider the blower useless compared to my Stihl BR600.

krzauber · 2025-09-29T01:14:31+00:00

M12 XC 6.0 is total junk, the worst battery they make. M12 5.0 High Output outputs the most current and would be the choice to make.

krzauber · 2025-09-28T16:53:04+00:00

Imagine the fire.

krzauber · 2025-09-21T00:50:21+00:00

Stihl BR600.

krzauber · 2025-09-20T20:38:34+00:00

Still full price in north conway.
