I was told 200 for 9ah batt 50 for 5 hardly worth it for 9 until they come down in price. 9 would be good for grinder as they pwer hungary.If your going milwaukee, go for the 5.0ah batterys and if you really want to splash out get the 9.0ah!
Next on list!Bought the grese gun last week, best thing ive bought in ages makes greasing things a dream.
Drilling! Several jobs recently have required making quite a few 13mm holes in mild steel in spots that I couldn't get a mag drill in. It would usually be less than 5 minutes use before the battery would get hot and have to be swapped over. I still have my old Hitachi (plug in rather than the newer slide batteries) and was able to run that constantly each time until the only working battery was flat - barely even getting the chill off it.What are you doing to overheat the batteries?
I can drill 16mm holes all day with my Milwaukee in shed girders etc and it doesn't bother it one bit it will try to break your arm if you don't hold on to it, but is brilliant battery's last agesDrilling!

My old man laughed when I first got it and he saw the length of the side handle, soon changed his mind when he started using itMines the same! Gives hell of a kick when drill bites in first gear good job its got a long side handle.
My local shop sells them and seems to be as good as anywhere, got the box gg and battery for 200, try amazon ! ?Where's the best and cheapest place to get one from? I'm seriously considering buying one
I would always check out AEG tools as they have many of the same components as Milwaukee (both owned by the same company) but usually cheaper.
Ive got 5ah that work perfectly well on some 3ah tools I got 4 years ago ,unless makita have change the fitting on them in the last 12 month .My experience with Makita has been poor battery life, bought grinder with the then standard 3ah batteries and they lasted just out of 12mth guarantee .
Worse still the new 5ah batteries are said to be incompatible with my grinder although I think they could be easily made to fit. Anyone tried despite advice to contrary, to use the 5ah batteries?
any one tried the 28v milwaukee drill ?
M18 FPD.
Think trade counters direct are cheapest at the moment (I think) for drill, two batteries, charger and case. Click here.
The other Milwaukee drills are lower spec.
Guarantee is actually 3 years when you register the tool.
You can get those quick release adaptors for any drill.
