Idiots guide to Milwaukee.....

[jack_c]

Nope never and i got 6 of them all long out of warranty.
4 x 4amp and 2 x 5amp

Ring CJ Sinclair they will sort it, they fixed my angle grinder twice under warranty no problem and very quickly. They even arranged courier to collect i think? All i did was phone them and box it up ready.

There was a agent over here in Northern Ireland who I contacted. They sent a courier to collect and have it away to be assessed.

Will fill you in when I get it back

Some of the prices there are steep enough.

Modern Machinery Supplies in Lisburn also stock a large amount of Milwaukee, but in my experience none of them can get close to the online prices.

I was fearful buying online for warranty reasons if I had a problem. One of my batteries has died and you don't even need to send it back to where you bought it from so effectively buying it anywhere so long as you have the purchase receipt you can claim faults on the warranty.

Yes no point taking it back to were you bought it as most will forward it to a repair centre. Your better off dealing direct with the repair centre.

Also remember to register stuff for the full 3 year warranty otherwise you only get 12months.

They look expensive to me.

Just ordered a 3/4 one key impact for £449. Could have had the 1/2 version for £349 which is £100 cheaper than tfortools!

That's a good price for it.

I'd like one of the M18oneiwf in half inch. Have the high torque in work but it's very heavy for jobs I'd need it to do. The mid torque would be ideal but I wonder why these aren't one key enabled yet.

Power tool mate had the low torque on eBay with 2 5Ah batteries for £289.99 inc VAT but I missed it and it's up to 349.99 now.

There ought to be an idiots guide to registering the extended waranties there is that many bloody numbers and they ask for them in such a stupid order. I assume if you by one key tools the app uploads all the tool info?

I got a mid torque, its good for smaller stuff like up to m12 and its very compact. not noticed if they do one key version of it yet?

power tool mate looks to be the best price for it? https://www.powertoolmate.co.uk/Products/00400006000b/EB%2FMILM18FMTIWF12-502X

I had a mid torque off them last week for £158+ vat ( body only).
SGS have the high torque for £199 + vat again body only.

yes I think I paid £160 +vat for the mid torque body only a few months ago?

My problem is I already have the drill, impact driver and grinder and only 2 batteries. So it's about time that I bought another couple of batteries.

MMS beat anything online or any of their competition when I bought. There is a Milwaukee repairer in Coleraine.

for those that are a bit thick, what does one key mean ?

 

[colhonk]

You are brave admitting on here that you must be thick because you do not know what a `one key` is...ermm ermm what is a one key by the way

 

[General-Lee]

Aren’t they tuneable by your phone for different power that or I’ve dreamt it!

Has anyone tried a 12ah battery yet? I’m fancying one but they are still some what expensive .

@RWG Contracts you're bound to have at least one of these!

My 3 5ah are still going strong so no need to spend more!

 

[fermerboy]

for those that are a bit thick, what does one key mean ?

Something to do with tracking your tools with your phone, and setting the power level too.

Don't know if its GPS/Bluetooth or wifi??
I don't have anything that new, and its only me who uses them and I want full power available all the time so it doesn't interest me much.

+1 also I’ve a full fat 1/2” impact and not sheared anything, well not unintentionally.

Blue tooth, so you can track it so long as its in range of someone with the one key app on there phone, and so you can customise the torque settings and how long the LED light stays on etc
