I'm definitely a "Milwaukee Guy". I used Dewalt in my trade in the past and there were some good tools in that line but I feel Milwaukee has one of, if not the best mix of tools in their line-up. I've also had Rigid, Ryobi, and Makita in the past but I'm all red/black now. As long as they keep improving and innovating I'll be their guy.

two must haves 1) while not a automotive tool it is so versatile around the house 2402-20 M12 FUEL 12V 1/4" 2-Speed Cordless Hex Screwdriver 2) best impact wrench if you remove a lot of wheels 2767-20 m18 fuel 1/2 impact. I also love the Milwaukee 48-11-2460 M12 REDLITHIUM XC6.0 Extended Capacity Battery Pack, yes they are a little bigger, but last longer, and gives a bit more torque

Man feels good to be back, at perfect timing 👌🏾

I'm an appliance tech and a hobby wood worker + fix everything around the house kind person. If I can get it milwaukee, I get it milwaukee. Love their stuff.

Great tools. I stumbled across Milwaukee after I bought a ryobi impact and drill. I sold it and moved over to Milwaukee. Love the versatility and future proof system that it is. Thanks for the video.

Very cool!

Great video. I've used all these M12/M18 tools and now use the M12 Fuel Stubby Impact with the larger 6ah battery and the non-Fuel M12 ratchet with the slim batteries. While I prefer the brushless Fuel line, the Fuel ratchet is rediculously bulky and heavy. My favorite M tool is suprisingly the M12 inflator with the 6ah battery.

Milwaukee has an updated version of that compact impact wrench looks pretty nice

Rigid splits the difference! Currently on there platform.

Good choices. I have a few differences in my setup. I have the 2854-20 fuel compact 3/8" M18 wrench, which I love, and the 2767-20 1/2" M18 wrench, which it my "beast mode" wrench for getting corroded fasteners off. I want to add the 2960-20 as an "in between" - I think at that point I'll be pretty set. Maybe one of the M12 wratchets too. For a vac, I have that same one, but it died about a week after I got it, and Milwaukee repair has been out of replacements for a long time. I ended up getting the Fuel packout wet/dry for in the garage and on site, and it works really well. A bit bigger, but it has that wet capability. Another good tool is the M12 soldering iron. Fully hot in 18 seconds, and perfect for automotive electrical use (especially in the salt belt, where corrosion will literally creep up and break stuff if you don't do your connections right!)

thanks for sharing i just got their right angle mini grinder but i did not love it and I am sending it back today the Ingersol one i have is much easier to use and has much faster stock removal. I am really happy with the ones I have and use daily lets see what comes next. I heard the vacs had issues not sure why that's the case must have been a bad batch but mine has been great for over a year and it gets dropped and kicked around daily.

I use Ingersoll and Dynabrade air tools for all of my metal fabrication and specialty work as they are simply the best for that type of work. the Ingersoll impact guns are great but heavy and I now prefer the M18 impact all day every day. The Ingersoll ratchets i never loved not even my Hammerhead they just never have enough grunt when I need it which makes them useless most of the time for my needs. But for my fabrication needs they are awesome and never failed me yet.

Why not get the m12 stubby vs the m18 impact wrench? Torque is basically the same but its much lighter and smaller.
