Nice! I like how compact the drill and impact are. Aside from the hoodie, my first real Milwaukee tool was the M12 fuel hatchet. That little thing works great for chopping up branches that I got down with the pole saw. I was really impressed with what can be done with a 12 volt tiny chainsaw. So, I started blowing money on more m12 and m18 stuff when the deals were popping up over Christmas time.

Yeah I’d like to grab that little m12 hatchet as well! Because I always keep a saw in the truck coming from a tree service but I usually keep one of my top handle climbing Stihl’s.

Thanks for putting out this video. I found it very helpful, and it's good to see what an experienced tradesman chooses as a cordless power tool brand. I am an apprentice and getting to that point of my apprenticeship now where I need to start getting some cordless power tools. My boss said he'll help me with the cost (I got a good boss), he also told me to do my research carefully and decide on one brand, as it's best to just have one brand for battery compatibility. After a lot of searching, I decided I was probably best with Milwaukee, your video just confirmed I'd made the right decision. Regards to yourself, David

I find that a Makita impact driver feels like a fine Swiss watch in your hand, even if it might not have the raw power of a Milwaukee. Longevity is legendary too.

Milwaukee has the best nailers and impacts. Dewalt with the Circular saws and drills. Milwaukee for power, Dewalt for precision.

I'm not familiar with the 7¼ non fuel but I will say that the 6½ fuel circ saw with a high output battery is one of my favorite tools because of the size of it. Even with one of the bigger high output batteries it's very compact and lightweight. Also because it has a higher RPM it actually cuts faster than most if not all 6½ and some 7 and 1/4 saws. Welcome back to the family. I am almost to 40 cordless Milwaukee tools. I got rid of my 10-in cordless fuel miter saw and went with a 12-in corded refurb for half the money but I still plan on getting me another cordless chop saw. I have the table saw that thing is an amazing a piece of equipment. Every single thing about that saw is buttery smooth. Also you're probably wondering how many guys I have working for me. Absolutely none all of those are for me LOL.

Good video man. I think the black and yellow is overrated but still good. I do like the red better though. Cordless stuff is amazing these days. Btw..the battery packs are packaged that way because of theft and usually why they're also locked up.

Some people like Milwaukee, some like Dewalt and others like Makita. Different trades like different tools. I'm a pro cabinet maker and trim carpenter, and to me, Dewalt is far better than Milwaukee, and other guys in my trade believe the same, but a few guys I work with say Makita is the best. The point is that every tool company has its fan boys, but no one tool company is the end all best out there. I've known some people who ditched their Milwaukee to go Dewalt or Makita

I haven't noticed the difference in finish nailers between the 2. I actually prefer dewalts 16 gauge overall. The framing nailer, Milwaukee has the edge. I owned both at one point. Sold the DeWalt framer. Drills and drivers they are equal. The high torque tire tool/lag driver Milwaukee all day. It's give and take. Jigsaw and oscillating tool DeWalt.

The 12 ah came out after I was done with DeWalt so no experience there. For me it boils down to disappointment on DeWalt's behalf.

Try a Makita and you'll never go back.

Promo or what?

You will pay more the the Milwaukee, but if you make your living with them, then it is silly not to pay because otherwise you are simply being penny-wise and pound-foolish. Milwaukee tends to be the best in nearly every category when you check the independent performance comparisons. You mentioned the oscillating tool. I am a DIYer, but performance increases exponentially with blade angle travel. I have the cheapest Harbor Freight Chicago Electric corded one that has 2.5 degree sweep. It served me fine until I had to trim off the bottom of an in-place kitchen cabinet. It was demoralizingly slow to where I put it off. I went out and found a video that compared them all. That's where I learned that changes in blade sweep have exponential performance increases. Harbor Freight had one that was 3.5 amps and had 3.3 degrees of sweep, which is more than the very expensive and inventor, Fein, with its 3.2 degrees. It was $99, but hard to find in stock, but desperate, I drove 80 miles, which might be the best 80 miles I ever drove. (I could have gotten the Dremel for the same price locally, but they require you use their blades or an adapter, and their blades are not the best cutting. Moreover, the blade change on the Hercules blows it away.) It felt heavy, and when I unboxed it, it was. I wondered how it would be to hold over my head like that. As it turned out I didn't need to worry. I trimmed the base up in a few minutes whereas I already had 1/2 hour with the old tool and got very little done. 2.5 to 3.3 degrees made a massive difference. My issue turned into not going too fast and far. That was a change of 0.8 degrees. The Milwaukee Fuel version has a blade sweep of 4.3 degrees, a full degree more. You might think it would dominate the field in the tests between the different brands. It does. If they don't publish the blade sweep on an oscillating tool, it's because they are ashamed of it.

I want my Excursion back.
