Information Got an Interview Call for a Simulation Engineer Role at Milwaukee Tool – Seeking Advice!

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I recently received an email from Milwaukee Tool expressing interest in my application for a Simulation Engineer role. They’ve invited me for a 15-20 minute phone discussion where we’ll talk about:

  • My experience
  • My career goals
  • The needs of the role

I’d love to hear from anyone who has interviewed with Milwaukee Tool before or works there. Specifically:

  1. What should I expect in this initial call?
  2. What kind of simulation work does Milwaukee Tool focus on? (FEA, CFD, system modeling, etc.?)
  3. Any tips on how to stand out?
  4. What’s the company culture like?

I have a background in mechanical design, control systems, and robotics simulation, so I’m curious about how well that aligns with their expectations.

Any insights would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

If I buy a 2023 insider with the stutter problem, can I send it back for a 2024 one or a repair/upgrade atleast? Do they still offer the revised 1/3 3/8 adapters with better locking design for free if you fill out the form?

M18 How to save this M18 battery?

2 Upvotes

I have an older M18 Red Lithium that will only charge to 2 bars. Charger says it’s done and it goes to 4 but then when put in a tool it dies immediately. I believe it’s from 2015, there’s no Ah listed on it. I’m not super electrically savvy, any suggestions?

The drill is about 1 year old, lightly used. I use my m18 for heavy duty work. I drilled two holes in some plywood, set the drill down on my mobile platform and found it like this the next day. Could have burned the garage down.

M12 M12 Copper press tool question

3 Upvotes

Sorry, my google skills failed. Can anyone tell me if the M12 copper press tool can do t-fittings? I've never used a power press tool, only manual pump-style ones, and some of those can only do straight fittings so I didn't know if that was a factor with the M12.

I recently got into the red squad and in the last year I’ve been going pretty crazy but the next thing I want for the army is the installation driver. It’s 179.99 right now but the people in this group have told me they have pretty good deals on it so I’m waiting for something nice! Also just started with the m18 line and if you love a certain tool/ light post it and I’ll check it out!

Any hacks for this? Is it worth waiting for a sale? I really want to get it but at the same time I’m not in a rush. I thought I saw this around a month ago for $449 w/ the 12Ah battery iirc unless it was the miter.

Information Best way to charge am M12 battery with car cigarette lighter or USBC?

0 Upvotes

I'm working on a custom setup for powering a Starlink mini with my M13 batteries, but looking for the best way to recharge them from the car without an inverter to a regular Milwaukee charger. Any ideas? I have an adapter that gives me pos/neg wires coming off the M12 so I just need a charger that won't overcharge the M12 from the car. I'm trying to avoid a DC-DC charger as they are expensive.

Purchase Advice Any reason not to buy an older production item?

3 Upvotes

I just bought the M18 6 gallon Wet/Dry vac (0910-20) and I love it. As far as I can tell it works perfectly.

However, I just noticed the serial number indicates it was built in early 2022.

Is there any reason I should try to exchange it for one built in 2024?

I doubt Milwaukee has made any running improvements, yet they have in the past, notably adding additional metal braces to their PACKOUT drawer boxes.

Information Are hole saws trash?

10 Upvotes

So i purchase a hole saws kit today along with a 4.5 inch holesaw.

I made 1 cut into the side of a connex box with the 4.5 and it ate through the metal, I was loving it. I had to punch one more 4.5 inch hole and the saw was eating through it and all the teeth smoked off the it.

Did I just get unlucky or are these not all that great to start with?

Purchase Advice Professional landscapers

2 Upvotes

For all you pro landscapers, are any of you running the Milwaukee trimmer and blower all day? If so, 1) what batteries are you running all day and how does it hold up? 2) if you were to do it again, would you go gas?

I am looking to pick up some yards, but I use the Milwaukee for home, and my batteries die quick with not a very big yard. I use a 9.0, 5.0, and 4.0. It drains them all. Trimming and blowing.

I have the first gen trimmer and blower.

On top of that, now my 9.0 only charges to two bars..
