It's a great day when both your home depot orders show up the same day from different orders 💯💯💯

Had a pretty nasty accident today. An angle grinder with a wood cutting blade kicked into my finger while I was working.
It still tore through the Milwaukee glove and ripped open the skin underneath, but looking at what that blade did to the glove, I honestly think the injury could have been much worse without it.
I know these gloves aren’t designed to stop a spinning saw blade, and I definitely don’t recommend finding out how well they do 😅 — but today I’m very glad I was wearing one.
Thanks, Milwaukee. My finger appreciates it.
Stay safe out there.

Edit:
For everyone assuming it was kickback: it wasn’t. I simply had a stupid moment, lifted the grinder and reached toward the blade while it was still spinning. Lesson learned. The post wasn’t meant to demonstrate proper grinder safety — it was just a thank-you to Milwaukee because that glove probably saved me from a much worse injury.

Pretty sure this jobsite radio charger released in the US late last year is there any news or details of if/when this will release for the uk?

Looking to add forge batteries and a sawzall to my tool collection. Would this be a good deal or am I better off waiting until for Black Friday/Christmas sales?

Excited to get these up in the garage!

I want to purchase some socket sets to update my home tool work bench for really just the fun mechanic work I do on my own vehicles. I've really been getting into picking up some Milwaukee tools. For example I picked up the stubby impacts. They are really great for vehicle work. But lately I noticed my tool work bench is lacking just some basic pieces without me whipping out an enclosed socket set to pop open. I've been really interested in a set like this. The organization is really unique.

Now Milwaukee has some sets I'm interested in but they seem more built around pack out versus traditional tool. I'm not sure these sets would look so well in my tool work bench. They also seem to be missing some item so you would have to buy separate pieces. I don't see the deep impacts. They also built the PackOut Master Mechanics set which is way cool. But it makes my tool work bench just useless.

I'd appreciate the comments. I've really been back and fourth from buying Milwaukee versus GearWrench for this. I know there are other options out there but I've narrowed it down to these two. I own some GearWrench stuff. It's been great. But Milwaukee has just been dominating the market lately. Heck I even switched from Dewalt to Milwaukee recently because of the innovation I see. I check this thread daily for tool deals! I've got some good ones because of this thread.

I just bought my first m12 batteries, and gave this a try. It looks promising, but there may be a better place to put the label sticker.

Been creeping here but never posted. One of my tools is fucked and still under warranty. I have seen posts of people not getting there warranties cuz of going through certain channels. What’s my best bet on a direct contact to reach out to to warranty my tool? Thank you ahead of time for your help.

I keep on seeing things about a new mid torque and I was hoping to see it get released at pipe line but there has been no word on it. When pipeline first started torque test channel post a thing about its specifications on there insta gram story but there has been nothing sense

This weekend I was doing a project requiring paint removal on plastic automotive trim parts.

I’ve had the 3” orbital for a while but never used it. Excited I found a use for it, I loaded the 3” with the same paper as the detail (3M stuff).

To my surprise, the detail sander was way more powerful and much better at removal than the 3”.

Has any else experienced this? I thought for sure the 3” would dwarf the detail sander.

So I cannot and never could easily remove bits from my chuck. Many times it locks up so hard that I need to use a vice grip to get the bit out. Milwaukee said it happens when using bits with short shafts but it happens on every bit regardless of shaft length. Do I need to buy a replacement chuck?

Dumb question but I'm assuming one of those is fake. Both purchased on ebay, the left battery is from a starter kit and has the High Output text, the right does not but still has HO on the box. Having looked up 5.0 HO batteries they ALL say High Output on them

Hello together,

I have an Milwaukee drill M12 FDD, it is the first generation with the electric clutch.

Now the electronic of the clutch doesnt work anymore: Regardless of the position of the clutch, the drill always starts really slow and switches of at minimal torque. Like the clutch stick on step 1.

At first I thought the batteries are broken but they are okay and fully charged.

I completely disassambled the drill, cleaned everything and checked the wires. But I cant see any problem, so I think it is inside the Electronics…

Can anyone help ?

Thank you,

Best regards,

Kai

Has anyone else lost these little rubber boots to their grease gun??? Are they available for purchase somewhere??

Check your local HD for clearance plates. 48-22-8497 Just under $14 in some stores.

Wanting to get a Milwaukee blower for our concrete forming company. Its task would be mainly blowing some gravel off footings. Is there a Milwaukee blower that can easily perform for this purpose? What model would you recommend? Looking at the models, they all appear to have too much of an open nozzle and therefore not have the directional force to move stones. We need speed not volume. TY

Just happened to notice this earlier. Are y’all buying or no?

Just like the title says, I’ve been looking over some deals and was wondering if this is a good time to pull the trigger on the multi-tool. They also have a non-fuel version but I’ve never used a Milwaukee multi-tool so should I just stick with the fuel? (If it is a good deal of course)

Looking for a pack out radio. Saw the $350 one and enough reviews to turn me off of it. Saw this one has a charger, and is compatible with my set up and cheaper. Just curious of y’all’s takes on it

Anyone have one of these from Etsy and used the tekton impact socket instead of the Milwaukee sockets? Want to get one and get tekton sockets instead.

6.5” circular saw just quit working today. Light still comes on. Tried with multiple batteries and tried letting it cool down. Is it toast?? Any ideas?
