Does this kit ever go on sale? I’ve been eagerly waiting for it to be on sale for a long time, but unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find it.

Is this deal worth jumping on or are there better deals often? Ive been tracking these for a while at $599 tool only. That 8.0 forge with charger are no cheap bonus plus those safety glasses.

Purchase Advice M12 Fuel Surge or M12 Fuel Impact Kit Deal

Post image
10 Upvotes

Hey all,

Some context... I'm not a professional but I'd like to get more DYI around my house. I currently need to replace trim, some sheet rock, and a pallet board decorative wall in my basement. I bought an M18 angled finish nail gun along with an M18 hackzall. I also grabbed an M12 circular saw and an M12 multi tool. I hacked the circular saw and the hackzall with HD using the tips from this forum, thanks everyone!

I need a little more advice though. I have a Makita impact driver, but at this point I'd rather stay in the Milwaukee system seeing as all my other tools are there. I don't have a drill.

I saw this deal and it looked really good after a hack, but I'm wondering if for my purposes I should wait for the fuel surge to go on sale? I rarely do large lag screws, but if I do I could create a pilot hole so I figured the more precision and reduced noise of the surge would make sense.

Also Black Friday is around the corner, but I figured this kit at the hacked price will likely not be much lower.

Any thoughts? Thanks

M12 Not a new issue but ran into this today when I went to use it for the first time.

Bought the M12 impact and hammer drill on sale last week and went to use the drill for the first time today.

Hammer drill that came with the kit had the selector collar from the regular drill driver. Still worked but only while hammering through all the clutch settings.

Thought I was losing my mind until I compared it to my co-workers.

Correct label and part number.

Anyway Home Depot exchanged it without too much hassle. They seemed stumped as well.

2k ft lbs of torque with forge battery. 10 tires per 8.0 forge battery. Will this make the bigger 1 inch obsolete?

M12 M12 1/2 stubby issues

4 Upvotes

I have the 3/8s with the hog ring, and have had issues (right out the box) with sockets not fitting tight. Figured I’d try the detent pin for the 1/2” and my god, what a pain in the ass it is. Main 2 issues: when impacting a very tight/stuck bolt, I literally have to pry the socket off the base with a screwdriver or pliers. 2nd and most annoying, I have to use a pick or something to actually release the detent just to change the socket. Anybody else run into these issues? FYI, using Milwaukee impact sockets…

Not sure if anybody else has mentioned, but check out your local Home Depot every now and then. Found this pack of 2 for about $20 which is what 1 of them cost alone if I’m correct.

The app has this same set for about $43 so I don’t know what’s going on, but checkout will ring you out at about 20 bucks.

Just something to keep an eye out for y’all!

M12 M12 6.0ah battery with the Jobsite Fan

6 Upvotes

Hey all,

Recently I've been seeing 6 amp hour M12 batteries for less than the 5 amp hour batteries on eBay​. I've heard the conversations regarding how "well and beloved" these batteries truly are. Okay. Seriously, I've heard nothing but bad talk about them here on Reddit. I've also heard that it depends on the tool whether or not they're worth anything or not.

So my question is this, do they work well in the M12 job site fan? What's t​heir runtime on settings one, two, and three? Recently I was helping with a fair booth, where I needed the fan for about 12 to 14 hours per day. I currently have three 5.0ah HO batteries, two 4.0ah XC batteries, one or two 3.0ah and two of the 1.5ah smaller batteries.

The price I've been seeing on Ebay for lots of 2 6.0ah batteries is about $70-80. Their rating number is over 1k, so I'm guessing they're not scamming. If anyone's used these batteries in their fan, can you please let me know if they're worth that, or should I wait for more 5.0ah HO batteries to go on sale again? Thanks for your help, and have a good rest of your week!

Peace,

A dork behind the keyboard

​

Hi all

I was going to buy the M12 FIR38G2 rachet but seen that the new M12 FIR38L2G2 long reach rachet is now out so im unsure on which would be better.

Will mainly used for suspension work, servicing and occasionally some DIY engine work.

Any advice on which one i should go for as budget only allows me to buy one.
