One of these is next on my list.... Never tried one though.

Hi, I have one of these and I’m really disappointed with it (n)

It’s just got no go in it, I may of been expecting too much but it struggles with a small pipe clamp.
Just looked up the spec on my old bluepoint air ratchet which comes out at 60nm, I’ve always thought it more than adequate for wizzing stuff in and out. It’s enough to trap you knuckles if you don’t release the trigger fast enough anyway?
The Milwaukee is suppose to be a peek torque of 75nm so I’d say your probably expecting a little to much.
At the end of the day they are at ratchet not an impact driver.

Is the genuine coupler better than a generic 4 claw one. I have been using a sparex clip on one but that is leaking now

dont have milwaukee gun, i got alemite and only use Alemite 3 jaw slim couplings which come standard on it. Buy them 6 or so at a time of Allube, about £3 ish each i think from memory. Tried sparex and vap coupling in the past etc and there all crap compared to an Alemite one and more expensive i think?

Has anyone tried a milwaukee hedgecutter, or the long stick thingy which can take a mower, chainsaw and hedgecutter attachment?
They look the bizz but stihl and husqvarna don't seem more expensive, which seems a better choice.

The £285 grinder is latest just released with more power, think it also needs the latest batteries for full output.
The older m18cag115xpdb is still a good performer and same as m18cag125xpdb just different guard.

As for drill I would go for any of the pd versions, there is a few, fpd/fpd2 then the one key option (Bluetooth settings).

cheers for that! I think I'll go for the cheep option grinder then, It would be hard to justify £285 when i could buy a dril and grinder for less than that.

Where do you buy the Alemite ends? I struggle to get any decent ends.
