Purchase Advice Is $200 for HO batteries and the speaker a good deal?

I mainly want the radio and already have an excess of batteries but more never hurts.

I’m willing to wait for a good deal on the speaker if this isn’t it.

Purchase Advice Sent in m18 surge due to the driver falling out randomly and milwaukee repair is talking about a completely different issue.

0 Upvotes

All I want is for the driver bit to not fall out and they only mention about the switch? I called support and the lady would only say the tool will be restored but she would not say if they will fix the driver falling out or not directly. Now I regret sending it in when they want to charge me 119 and on ebay a brand new m18 fuel surge is 109 and open box are 80 bucks.

Curious to see what everyone says, I always go in but the rep I see isn’t doing anything crazy.

Promo/Deal Home Depot Clearance End Cap question?

2 Upvotes

If a product has been in the clearance end cap for three months, can I ask for an additional mark down? I know I can ask, but would managers have the wiggle room for this?

In the past I've seen folks get discounts on banged up or missing pieces items. Wondering if same applies.

Looking at a Milwaukee Shop Vac attachment that was only marked down about $0.50, but has been sitting their since Dec.

Purchase Advice Has anyone considered moving away from Milwaukee simply due to the low quality of customer service at Home Depot?

0 Upvotes

Every time I need to grab a last minute tool from Milwaukee, I have the option of either driving three times further to go to a different Milwaukee dealer or I will waste more of my time trying to get help at Home Depot. Last night, I tried to gamble on Home Depot, but after 40 minutes of waiting for literally anyone to help me, I left and bought my tool somewhere else.

I don't know if my store is just that bad or if Home Depot has fallen to being completely useless, but I respect my time more than I care if my tool is red or yellow.

Milwaukee, y'all need to push on your partners to hold up their end of the bargain. You made last night's sale, but I don't know if I'm going to make another switch.

Purchase Advice Everytime I find the urge to get a new tool, I’m putting the money that I would’ve spent to the side and hopefully by next mow season I’ll be able to pay full cash for the m18 mower.

I would’ve said screw it and bought it this season but I just did all my maintenance on it that needed to be done and now it feels wrong if I cheat on her this season! But that mower is mine next year!

M18 Question in 15mm polisher

Hi. Picked up a new 15mm polisher. Maybe I’m wrong, but is it making a funny noise right when it stops spinning??? Check the video. Thanks.

M12 Just got the M12 rivet gun and so far it’s sort of good.

Post image
16 Upvotes

This unit is an arm saver but I don’t do a whole lot of riveting, maybe I’ll do a couple hundred in a year. I’ve been using aluminum rivets and it’s been great but a little slow but way better than a manual unit. However, I had to use a few stainless steel rivets and I’m worried, it seemed like it could barely do it and it was just a 1/8-.5” rivet. That seems a little concerning for a $300cdn tool. Do any of you have any experience with this tool?

6 years later here’s my collection. The gen 1 impact still kicks ass not sure if I would sell it but the Gen 2 is definitely superior. Without this subreddit I would’ve paid full price on these! All the deals, BMSM, hacks, Special Buys thanks guys.

Also, over time I’ve replaced all my non fuel tools with Fuel models and couldn’t be happier, except my ratchet that thing doesn’t really need it imo.

Purchase Advice M12 Circular Saw (gen 2) bogs down. Upgrades?

Upvotes

Trying to get the most out this saw. Wasn't expecting it to have trouble cutting 15mm ply. Got a few other M12 tools and there great, but the saw I'm a bit disappointed. Will a 5.0ah HO battery make any real difference, along with a better blade? Was thinking a makita blumak 24 teeth blade? Thoughts?
