"Let me put this guard and handle where i wont lose them" ❤🤣🤣🤣
Hi JC. This past year I purchased a 1/4 inch Milwaukee M18 brushless drill and impact set, not the FUEL. I’m not a mechanic, just wanted something that had good power for a homeowner and would last. I’ve seen a lot of videos, yours included that give great marks to the Milwaukee power tools, hoping for many years of great use from my purchase.
My first Milwaukee tool was the M12 1/2” drill. I drilled a ton of 3/4” holes in my truck and trailer when I added a bunch of 3/4” led lights. I also drilled a bunch of holes on the truck frame to mount pto tank, tool boxes etc. that little m12 drill sold me on the Milwaukee platform and my collection is still growing. We even have the m18 job site vacuum that we use in the house and it’s the best vacuum we have ever had in the house. Looking forward to the frame stretch project JC!
i was looking at the m18 shop vac today. i think its a bit too big for what my wife uses hers for.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge JC. Much appreciated.
We bought the 1/2” high torque impact on your good rating about 2 years ago. After about 1 1/2 years we had a failure in the anvil. Went on the Milwaukee web site signed up with an account, sent it in for repairs. We received the repaired tool quickly. And at no charge even the shipping was free. They stand behind their tools. Thanks for your review it helped us make a good decision in our purchase.
Looks like a nicely made grinder 🔧
I have the right angle impact wrench in M-18 and it does a great job in tight spaces
I've had a Fuel Brushless Milwaukee m18 grinder for several months now. When I'm parting out rotted out Ford trucks and I encounter hardware that refuses to cooperate I use the grinder. Mine doesn't have adjustable speed and it has the trigger you have to squeeze. I like it. I use a high output 6.0 battery with it
Having all your tools on the same platform is so beneficial. Any tool you own that needs a specific battery is inconvenient and the batteries will have issues with sitting. Like you mentioned, you can like any brand you want but no one can deny Milwaukee has the most options available.
That 3/8” stubby impact M18 has been amazing! I love mine and grab that more than the M12.
hi jc i also did changed 2 batteries almost al my tools are milwaukee very hapy with them started with the 1/2 impact as a roadside mechanic also bought the compressor very handy goodluck chief from the netherlands
Nice 👍
hello J.C & Mrs Smith it's is Randy and i like yours video is cool Thanks J. C & Mrs Smith Friends Randy
Great video... looking forward to seeing the mini huck sometime 👍👍
i have the mini huck milwaukee.
@@j.c.smithprojects I was thinking you said you had ordered it a while back ago... I didn't know they made one but will be nice to see how it does when you get a place to use it 👍👍
I just got my first Milwaukee grinder today and man what a quality tool compared to everything else I’ve bought over the years.👍
i have been happy with every milwaukee tool i have got.
I've never had the privilege of using a Milwaukee. But I can't complain about DeWalt though that's what I use. It's all on what ya can afford. And I've had really good reliability out of them too.
You were talking about getting the new m18 3/8 impact I would suggest the m12 stubby I had trouble getting the larger battery base into tight spots where the 6.0 m12 fit just fine.
I have this exact one in the 6" model. That trigger is a little hard to lock on while wearing welding gloves. It uses batteries up very fast. I'm using the 8.0 and 12.0.
6" is a big disc. im sure it does go through batteries. i have used it quite a bit so far and am very happy with the power and how long i get out of the batteries. not having a cord getting twisted up and all around my feet is nice too.
someone somewhere stated that these are battery systems with tool accessories
J.C, all but 2 of my Milwaukee batteries were bought used and after 4 or 5 years of moderate use I’ve yet to have one go bad.
All mine are m12. The m12 stubby impacts are great, lot of power for their size. Mine is my most used impact.
For the 18/20 volt I went dewalt mostly because a now deceased friend cut me a hell of a deal on some at a pawn shop he ran. I’ve only had 2 of those go bad and they get used harder than the milwaukees.
One thing I’ve done for years is to number my batteries so if one cuts out or something while using I can keep track of it without worrying about it getting mixed back in with the herd.
I write the date I bought the battery on it where it is least likely to get ground away.
JC, I have a plugin Milwaukie grinder that's held up fine but my 20v battery drill drivers and impact tools are DeWalt as are several items like a plugin metal chop saw, 3/8 drill driver and a grinder. What you demand of your tools is quite a bit more heavy duty than my shop that does relatively light duty custom metal and woodwork depending on the project. I also have other brands of tools. The big thing is to know what works best for you. Great video!
agreed. know what suits your needs and dont try to push what you need on those who need something different.
They've bought out a angle grinder that it's impossible to take the guard off. because of Health and safety. I think that will be sold in Europe first. Also, you have to have two hands on it Your hand on the side handle and the main. before it will start. These will be the only angle grinders That will be legal To use on building sites. in the future.
is it the camera/microphone, but there's a screeching tone that would make me launch that after just a few seconds.😳
“I’m not a welder” but I wear our grinders. Pretty smooth
Take the guard lock ring off, it will rattle off in first few hours of use. I have the 4-5 and 6-7 grinders, both have worked great.
Need a fire Proof cabinet ( Brent at half as custom)
I put my guards and handles in same place 😂 i only put guards on when friends help me out that i dint trust to use the tool right
how many people you see using the cutting disc in the wrong direction? then call it the death wheel when it gets bound up and brakes.
Have you ever had the old non fuel grinder stop under a heavy grind? If I’m really using mine even moderately hard, it will stop and the wheel/motor will pulsate a few times and you have to cycle the switch to start back. Mine has done that since new. A m18 fuel grinder will probably be my next purchase
mine does the same thing.
how long do you think the tire inflator would take to air up a standard pickup tire like 235-85.16
my wife did a video of using the tire inflator for the first time. 4 tires in under 10 minutes and only 2 bars on the battery. she was impressed.
I got away from dewalt to milwaukee, the only way to go .
Does that grinder come with guards for 6" wheels. I completely disagree with your stance on guards but to each their own. 11 amp equivalent is pretty strong. Im used to the electric,slide switch 13 amp ,6" metabo grinders. Currently dont have m-18 stuff, ( m-12 and 20v DeWalt) but it seems to be decent stuff.
again....if you need them, use them. 4-5" guard.
@@j.c.smithprojects ok. On some models they come with multiple sizes. Especially on cutting wheels the extra depth of cut from a 6" wheel blows those smaller discs away
I should probably send my 3/4” gun in. It has the gasket failing on the impact part. It has done a lot of 33mm lug nuts. I think the motor home budd style lug nuts kind of did it in. I guess the last tire guy went all gorilla mode on them. 🤬🤬
I finally got a Milwaukee 1/2 impact gun 3 years ago I use it at home and it crapped out on me last week
i have 2 and use them nearly every day. no issues what so ever.
@@j.c.smithprojects I really don’t use it that much just doing brakes and rotations don’t know what happened to it
moisture?
I see your diesel heater I think on the floor if not have u seen them lil 12 v diesel heaters
got 2 of them. been trying them out for a couple different applications.
@@j.c.smithprojects cool u gonna do video on em im pretty interested!!
yes
You dont have to use the guard but my buddy and I( are both in our 60s and started around muscle cars in the 70s and both have had disks let go on us . his hit him in the face. soooo WHATEVER>>>
somebody always has "a buddy that had one come apart in his face". most people who experience that were using the cutting wheel in the wrong direction or got it bound up.
You need to watch AVE for tips on unboxing (mini-chainsaw FTW). Your elapsed time isn't "skookum".
pass
I'm waiting on a video of the shop clean up......😅
you may be waiting a long time.
@@j.c.smithprojectsI agree with you. In a shop like yours, as 7:21 7:21 soon as you clean and start to work, the first project everything is dirty again. Maybe put tools away but cleaning, not in a weld shop. Plus I saw three cans of PB Blaster on the same shelf, that's a clean shop!
Milwaukee m12 battery suck I bought multiple from home depot they crapped out on me with charging issues in less than a year with minimal use i now buy Chinese batteries off Amazon with way better luck
I am still using my original batteries from over 5 years ago. no issues what so ever.
@@j.c.smithprojects m18 are great m12 not so much
i only have a couple m12 batteries and for only a little over a year. so far so good.
A have no luck with tools….some company called “china”….ever hear of them?
what?
