The hi output batteries work brilliantly with the fuel kit, it gives the tool more power. Make sure you get the m12 fuel sds that’s a game changer for when your just fixing red and brown plugs, no need to get the m18 out. Milwaukee is the way forward 🎉👏🤝
Ooh you look boy Nick! I’m not envious at all. I’ve used the M12 impact, combi, stapler and cut off tool for a while now, and absolutely love them. Awesome kit. BTW it’s Mill-walk-ee 😂
The drawers on the dolly are a great setup. I use that for my protection testing equipment with all the parts in Shadow Foam in the drawers and then the packout work surface on top to use as a bench. You can get packout compatible plate as well to attach to the battery power station and then you will be able to clip that to the rolling tool case next to the charger.
You should try get the Packout cart. You could put the drawers on the bottom and box on top. The wheeled cart is great but if you need anything, gotta unload the whole thing. I am doing a lot of PV stuff and I’m trying to do this sort of set up
Come a long way since the 70s when I started work. Drill was Brace & bit for wood and 2 speed Stanley hand drill. If things got tough use the company Wolf 240 volt electric drill. Can remember getting a Black and Decker cordless battery built in. The B&D was so useful others kept using it. Soon moved up to Makita skipped the 7.2 volt and straight into the 9.6 volt. Had Hitachi,Bosch but ended up with Makita. With a stacking toolbox all the cordless in bottom part,tools in middle and top part with tool and fixings. You could easily keep an eye on your kit wheeling it around with you. On large sites for some reason someone always thought it good idea to swap there worn out kit for yours. Now retired but Makita kit still works well brought a vac to keep the batteries in good condition. The worst kit ever was Bosch batteries and chargers fault. Never had a problem with a Makita.
I have lots of Milwaukee M18 and love it. The five amp hour batteries are great. Don’t even think about touching the nine amp hr or the 12 hr they have massive problems with them. Had lots of mine replaced under warranty all gone wrong a couple of times
Fair play to you nick, I love it, I’m like you with a lot of DeWalt tools but gradually replaced everything to Milwaukee, I also keep buying the pack out cases
I knew it and I called it! on the 1st April... Ha! J Beck has joined the party so beware of the addiction (though you have a Mill-walk-ee Pimp supplying you for free 🤣) I was originally Dewalt but fell in love with the M12 range after buying their heated jacket back in 2019, which led me onto their angle drill (C12RAD). Apart from My M18 Vacuum which I got as a bundle with the 6Ah M18 battery, I am a nM12 fan boy..... Fuel of course!!! and so the addiction began... M12 drill, impact, cut-off, cable staple, hand hammer, dust extractor, blower, gillet and most recently the SDS drill and Packout 3 piece plus x2 full width bits and bobs boxes though I think that is enough for now and will keep the other Dewalt kit as is. You will see lots of kgoodies and will keep asking for more but if it is free..... FILL YOUR BOOTS Lad and enjoy but you are the Mill Walk Key ambassador now so why not?"!?!?!?
Should look at the m12 fpdx its like yours but it has a interchangeable chucks to make it off set or right angle I use that all the time great bit of kit plus you should ask for the new forge batteries and you can get the high output for the m12 too
Out of interest are you open to selling any of your old Bosch gear? Looking for a few bits and you literally had every tool under the sun 😂 Congrats on the Milwaukee sponsorship (matter of time before they make it official). Seriously tempted to go down the pack out route and no doubt that’ll then lead me on the the power tools as well 😂
Bought myself the M12 cable stapler, combi drill and impact at the start of the year. So impressive and some of the best tools I own. The impact driver is so powerful you can throw the 18V version in the bin, the combi drill does 99% of the things that my 18V drill does and the cable stapler is rewire/loft work game changer. The staples are really well priced too. Waaaaaay cheaper than the viperclips. £12 for a box of 600 staples suitable for up to 10mm t&e vs £125 for 1000 single sized fire rated clips!

The high output batteries use 21700 cells and the regular ones use 18650, the high output are really good and you can get high output m12 batteries to, I'd recommend getting a high output 3 amp battery for your impact driver for use above head height. And amazon aren't a official seller of milwaukee and can be hard to warranty
Nice to see you have seen sense on come over to the red side 😂 was only a matter of time. The angle grinder is good by the way, quiet compared to a 240v, my only negative is the paddle can be annoying for certain tasks but then I remind my self, it does what it does so I don't go home looking like sweeny todds victim 😅
Mill-war-key is the midlands pronunciation nick, it’s good stuff mate the battery life is great but the combi drill chuck is a bit shit even when you do the thing up dead tight and quarter turn back which is the correct tightening technique it can still come loose 👍🏾
I feel like Milwaukee just market better. You just can't miss them these days. I'm a DeWalt user and am happy but Milwaukee seems to be winning the race in recent years.
Can’t go wrong with the fuel range mate I’ve had my combi drill for years and still shits on all the other drills, got everyone in working buying them haha
I do find it amusing the rep let it slip before you even announced it. Milwaukee M12 Fuel stuff is honestly brilliant puts all over 12v to shame and honestly some brands 18v gear.
Saw you talking with Jonathan at the tool show on Shadowfoam's channel and commented there I'd like to see a colab, nice to hear it's happening. Oh, and surely the correct pronunciation of Milwaukee was settled by venerable rocker and historian Alice Cooper in Wayne's World. 🤘
Registering the stuff is a F--cking nightmare have spent a shit load of money its the best kit but i have spoken with many in the Trades and its the same story very frustrating in trying to get them on the system .
@@garethedwards4249 I agree it was a bit confusing at first but managed it ok and I'm got very tech savvy however, I didn't have a lot as gradually built up the kit when my other brand stopped working. Maybe Nick will do a demo?
Less than 1 minute into the vid and already liked it. I'm a Milwaukee fan, in the process of changing from Makita to Milwaukee. Let me know what you think of the SDS hammer drill, it's next on my wish list. What's the new camera with face tracking? It does a really good job.
Don't change from Makita, Makita can be fixed if anything goes wrong whereas Milwaukee are now DIY garbage that go straight in the bin when something goes wrong.
I’m tempted by Milwaukee as I’ve had their cable stapler for some time now. But I’ve invested heavily in Bosch Pro and have a shit load of the batteries. It would cost me around £5k to change which isn’t happening as I don’t think the Milwaukee will suddenly get me that money back any time soon.
DON'T. Milwaukee is now DIY garbage, if they go wrong they either cannot be fixed or they dont sell the spares. Milwaukee is no longer a professional brand.
Some nice kit there but why did they send you the 1st Gen m12 bandsaw and not the fuel one 🤯 considering you’re going to be showcasing there tools to a lot of other tradesmen, I’m a big fan of the m12 gear but that non-fuel bandsaw is ass 😅 I rate the m12 fuel one though, good bit of kit
Great content NICK , showing insight on the New Milwaukee tools, really helpful to know which you recommend to buy over the coming weeks , really like the small M12, + SDS drill . 🧰⚡️👊
