Speaking of Milwaukie, have any of you checked out the Packout stuff? https://www.milwaukeetool.com/Products/Storage-Solutions/PACKOUT
I picked up the rolling base and a 3 other smaller boxes/organizers to get all my spare/rebuild parts to and from the dunes. Seriously one of the best tool purchases I've made in the last 5 years.
-
I like Milwaukee M18 tools as well. I have several. 1/2” impact is the king!

I'm a big DeWalt guy. I've got too many 20v DeWalt tools to turn to another manufacturer lol. I've got almost exclusively construction related tools. My current favorite is this multi-tool.

I've been using a DeWalt 1/4'' impact for quad-related stuff, but the right angle would be much better
I'm really liking that Milwaukee right angle 3/8'' tool.

I can tell you the 3/8 is capable of busting a 4" v band clamp.

I was really hoping to find something similar but using the same 20v platform as all my other stuff is in. No luck so far.

20 volt grease gun having to do two tubes a day in one machine can get kind of tiring after 12 hours or the battery powered 4.5” grinder is a handy for just about anything from sharpening knives to cutting stuff off out in the brush.
-
i use dewalt 20v. i would change to Milwaukee in a heart beat if my company didnt already pay for all the dewalt stuff

Ok I went and saw this thing in person at Home Depot.....and I like it even more.
I can't make up my mind if I want the battery powered Milwaukee unit. Or do I get the DeWalt pneumatic model.

I just purchased a Milwaukee 1/4 drive ratchet...can’t wait to use it tomorrow.

My boys got me a Milwaukee 1/4” impact and Milwaukee 1/2 drill for xmas

I find it somewhat unusual on brand bias, my good friends that are electricians use Milwaukee branded tools, while those in the construction trade side use Dewalt tools. Both appear to be of good quality (18/20 volt brushless) and work for the intended purpose. I had planned to buy the Milwaukee brand, but my son now has a large collection of Dewalt, so I will probably go that way. These tools have changed so much since I was using nothing but air driven tools, as that is all there was. I still fondly remember my air screwdriver that made my life so much easier, and helped me make huge amounts of money doing a certain recall on cars. Most of what we did was all done by hand, with hand tools, as that's how they (exotic's) were built. I'd say this makes me feel old, but think back 10 to 15 years ago and these things didn't exist.

i just bought this guy. i like it much more than the regular 1/4 brushless impact. Dewalt mid-range 1/2" hog ring is next on my list. Homedepot has a deal right now, 2 5ah batteries and you get to choose a free tool for $199. im going to hit that up tomorrow on my company CC.

I just tried the ratchet. Great tool. Now I have to get a 3/8 ratchet and some impacts.

As desertR mentioned air tools are not as popular as they use to be. i sold my Craftsman 30 gallon compressor and bought this guy on amazon. i got just a tick over 60db. it fills the 2 gallon tank really fast. i plan on using an auxiliary with a ball valve if i need more air. Some internet searching i have found Harbor Fright sells quiet compressor as does Kobolt. I dont have either locally so Amazon i went.

Compressors HAHAHAHA ;D ;D I've got an 80 gallon, 2 stage, 220 volt compressor to run my stuff. I'm not ready to give up on my air tools yet. Sitting on cork/rubber isolation mounts, the intake noise is the loudest part of it. Can't run a plasma cutter without air. My 30 gallon craftsman horizontal unit finally died after almost 50 years. It lived a good life. I also have a 2 gallon 110 volt NAPA unit for little stuff like tires and such, I've never tried to run a tool off it.

For home i just dont need it any more. The most air ill use will be filling tires. At work we have big Quincy.

I have more tools than any man could ever need....I still need more! I have a vast assortment of air tools as well as battery tools. I have a 60 gallon Quincy air compressor, 5 gallon rigid wheelbarrow compressor, and a 10 gallon hf compressor. I love having the correct tool for any job!

New to me “old” vice and anvil

Nice joe!
-
Wow wish I could find some of that. I sure could use a good vise. No way am I buying a new one
-
I bought the cheaper Yost that is made in China, The US made ones were pretty high on price.
When a people cannot make things for themselves cheaper than buying it elsewhere, the people should understand that corruption has them by the short hairs.

I've got the 1/2" version of the impact gun. it's come in very handy.

I use Milwaukee battery tools everyday at work. I absolutely love them and do not know how I got by without them.

1/2” Milwaukee is an arm saver for a diesel owner.

Pretty happy with the WEN bench top drill press and cross slide
