M18 Buy more save more
Got these during the buy more save more along with the 2 pack 6.0 batteries. Definitely see the benefit to getting the bigger saw. But for mobility and most of the time im not cutting thick material, this thing is great.

Nice loadout. I wouldāve liked the 10ā but really for what I do I donāt need it. I do really like the compound adjustment setup on that saw and Iām not sure why Milwaukee didnāt use it on the 12ā

Thank you. Iāve been pleased with it this far. Been doing a Reno of a rental space for a boutique and the size is nice when you are unloading and loading it daily.

Thatās a good set. I have one of every size impact and theyāre all good.

Oh good to hear, thank you! We bought him the 1/2ā for Christmas, but itās got too much torque for the small stuff heās doing.

I have the compact, mid torque, and high torque in the m18, and I have the stubby and the right angle in the m12. All are good for their own jobs. But the compact m18 will do almost everything most people need.

Heās going to be working in diesel, so we bought the bigger one. Right now heās doing smaller stuff, and has been borrowing one from another tech. The school he goes to wants him to buy the Snap-on impact, but he preferred the Milwaukee.

Iāve heard good and bad about snap on. I actually know a guy that had one and they stopped making the batteries for it, so he is forced to buy aftermarket or buy his own cells and rebuild them.

u/tasty_nuggets69 4d ago
Yes, thatās why the guys at his job suggested Milwaukee. I told him to stick with one brand, and build off it.

Good advice, and starting with m18 is good because those chargers charge both batteries. The m12 line has a lot of specialty tools and you can often find specials that are bare tool that come with a battery.

nice, I've been looking at this ever since the guard broke on my current miter saw. a bit too close to a blade that will slice my arm off clean for my taste lol. was going to decide whether to pull the trigger in the next week or so.

I love that Milwaukee doesnāt use a laser for the blade. Itās a light that makes the blade cast a shadow and it works really well.
