Must have M-18 tools

[Gregj50!!!!!]

And 3.0 batteries

Some people are just not detail people. Probably just heard people say Milwaukee was good, so bought Milwaukee

Exactly what I was gonna say….. 3ah is used for smaller tools…. Grinder should have an 8ah on it at least for demo work!!!
I’ll add…. Why use a grinder for ripping out a metal door???? Sawzall and crowbar seems more fitting!!!!!

I just bought this one. Looks like a today only deal.

Killer deals today for sure. I already spent too damn much this shopping season (ordered new phones last week...) but the oiled DeWalt compressors are pretty tempting. My oilless is so damn loud once it warms up.

i dont know, id probably rather have a 3.0 battery and a good grinder then have a shitty grinder and a 8.0 battery

he wasnt ripping out a metal door, he was installing a metal framed window that needed to be trimmed down, and im also pretty sure squamch knows which tool he has on hand that he should use

 

[Yotota]

As for the grinders, I keep a DeWalt 11A corded dude around for all the reasons mentioned. When you really lean into a low-grit flap disc and chew away a lot of steel I want it to keep on spinning.

i just bought one and i didnt even really need it, i blame your post

the 2880 will as long as you have enough HO batteries, i have two 12s and two 6 HO batteries so its no concern for me

Gotcha. I run the XC5.0 batteries so I haven't made the HO investment...

 

[Gtrplyr78]

Just scooped that up for myself

Same. Already have 6, 4, and 3ah - extra doesn’t hurt and had a $50 HD card to throw in the mix.

 

[TTMotorsports]

I use my M18 fuel grinders almost exclusively and the Dewalt corded ones stay on the rack. I also use my M18 fuel 1/2" mid torque impact and 3/8" impact all the time as well. I have a 1/2" High torque impact and it has been used for certain jobs but the mid torque does everything I need it do for sure and it's lighter and more compact.

next time you buy a battery get a HO, iirc they come in 3.0 6.0 8.0 and 12.0

i just got one for the neighbor after telling him about my unneeded grinder purchase

Not ripping out. We were setting an interior window and the column was set 10mils too tight, so we had to rip the window frame down.

We got upgraded to a 7.5" skilsaw and that works fine, likewise the drill and driver. They won't buy 5ah batteries because they grow legs too consistently.

 

[TTMotorsports]

I have almost all by batteries as 5ah but I do have a couple 3ah and they work good but definitely don't last as long or seem to have the same power when using my big impact with them.

that little impact wrench kinda pisses me off more than anything, it won't remove lug nuts that I know are torqued to 100 ft/lb, and on little shit you always end up needing to put a 3" extension on it because the short and very fat hammer case hits before the socket is on the bolt

Mine gets the 150 lbs nuts off my truck (04 f150) and also the nuts on my skid steer.

Is yours the fuel one?

I'm using the battery that has six 18650 cells in it instead of the regular 3 18650s.

6.0 battery and even a short socket with no extension, takes 10 seconds of rattling to take off honda lug nuts

 

[Wildjon]

thats a 2880, good grinder and great deal, they are normally 180ish with no battery

Couldn't help it, grabbed one.

If I had more m12 tools other than a ratchet and a heated jacket the wife uses once a year, I probably would scoop up a battery kit.

 

[[486]]

they got little m12 portabands too
they take a wierd size band though so I didn't get one

Why not step up to 1/2 impact for lug nuts and suspension stuff duty?

My DeWalt high torque 1/2 was bought for that use. The only stuff that has fazed it so far was my F250 SD track bar bracket bolts, put a cheater bar on those suckers.

I also have a Milwaukee M18 Fuel 3/8 impact, it does lug nuts no problem but I use it for other things.

These compact tools come in handy where there are spacial constraints. Also to save wrists when disassembling around engine compartment and body parts.

 

[gozuki]

My half inch M18 impact will break bolts if I have it turned the wrong way. I have never needed a breaker bar, even on the 2" (?) nut on the bottom of my hitch ball.

delivers up to 750ft-lbs of fastening torque and 1100ft-lbs of nut-busting torque

the only thing mine has ever failed to remove were some left handed thread lug nuts(got them all off but two wouldnt come) on a dump truck, reverse thread so i was getting the 750 instead of the 1100

i find the part number i want by comparing specs on milwaukees site then just google it for the best price from a legit seller

 

[ChiScouter]

I forget what they call it but when my 1/4 hex impact was down waiting for parts I bought the hydraulic model. Now that the old one is fixed it has a bit more power but the hydraulic is a lot quieter and has better touch for when you are trying not to snap something or strip out threads or countersinking. Now the old style is the backup. I think the hydraulic is called a Surge

I have this M12 driver, It is my go to tool for pretty much everything assembly/disassembly wise. Highly recommend it. I bought a set of impact drill bits, and adapters for sockets, its extremely versatile.

 

[Pocahontas]

^this I have 8 of them and its the favorite tool of my guys. It does 99% of what a 18v impact does but its smaller and lighter. The three torque settings make it easy to dial it back if your doing more delicate work.
