Idiots guide to Milwaukee.....

[Lofty1984]

i looked hard but the two speed one isnt here yet and when i say Yet they've had long enough at this stage.
i dont know why they do that tbh.
yeah, she will do 10,000 psi on one setting.
bought it with a 5Ah battery for £220 inc shipping and customs charges, i didnt think it dear all in all.
another mcnaught k40 was cumin in round the £70 mark so it wasnt a pile more for what you got imo.

im allowing there cant be too much to go wrong with it tbh, afaik even tho there wouldnt be warranty a dealer could still get it repaired if it came to it.
its early days yet but the little ive done with it so far i find it a great way to grease something, done the whole digger in 5 mins or less.
im getting the impression that the 20-30 pumps per run is about what id normally heel in with the std gun.
the first thing it got was a g-coupler neways.

Only downside is a cartridge of grease is gone before you know it, not a bad thing on the lubrication front just glad I don’t pay for the grease

9" cordless anyone?!!! looks like they are not the only ones making one either!

going back a few posts on this quote but i seen it as i was catching up.
ive never used one but i did hold that particular one in a shop one day, all i remember is it's a serious weight to hold in one hand while taking a pic of it.
all the grinders i have here are metabo, for no real reason other than they've always done well for me.

This is a good use for one.

i havnt got through a full cartridge yet so ill see but you could be right, unfortunately im the one paying for the grease here but as you say, it cant be a bad thing i suppose.
id imagine it ill take a while to get used to it, the one thing im not certain of atm is at low pressure is it actually pumping the grease in or not even tho its making the sounds like it is, ill keep an eye on it.

This is a good use for one.

i laughed when i seen that on snap a few weeks ago, i wouldnt mind knowing what he was saying when challenged...

I decided to go for the lazier option for greasing so i spent a few quid on this one from the states, unless im badly mistaken the two speed isnt available here , there wont be any warranty i know but the money wasnt strong even with import charges n all.
only got it about 2 weeks ago so it hasnt been killed with work yet but it dose what it says on the tin, so far anyways.

im not a die hard fan but once you've got a few of their cordless tools your kinda half committed to staying with a brand re the battery's.

Except I've found that I've saved more money going mix and match rather than sticking with one brand. I had a splurge due to a building project coming up and for example Makita SDS drill and radio is way cheaper than Milwaukee equivalent even counting battery and chargers. I like Milwaukee best but there are plenty of good deals out there if you can keep flexible. The other day ebay had 20% off everything which meant the top spec makita impact wrench was available £70 cheaper than a Milwaukee top spec 1/2.

I missed out on the 20 % thing

 

[Short_Angus]

I missed out on the 20 % thing

Don't worry, you probably didn't miss much.
I had 7 items in my eBay basket only to discover that none of them were eligible for discount
It was only only on home and garden ,fashion and domestic type stuff.
Not on tools, automotive etc .

Ask them for a vat receipt! When i bought one they got all confused as it seemed too differcult for them to understand i wanted a vat receipt, instead the idiots gave me a refund! So i gave up arguing and said thanks very much.

Milwaukee cordless grinder fast becoming an essential piece of kit,no faffing about with cables to put you off doing the little jobs, very one handed and enough power to do the job as well.

I had a friend complaining today about his rechargeable hoover (only a few months old) burning out.
I see Milwaukee make a few models the m18 compact looks interesting (good excuse to extend the collection as it could be used in the house!!)
Has anyone got one and where would I get the best deal?

I thought about this the other day as my mother bought a gtech. I dont think the likes of Milwaukee and Makita are there yet with vacs

Laser distance measurement thingy came free also has a tick tracker tag in there somewhere

Is the case any good .. strong ?

Looks to be . It's the same as the old style red cases that can be stacked on top of each other .
