new bit of kit

[Mazza]

bought a decent bit of kit online yesterday and it arrived today ….

One Milwaukee nugger gun

variable settings from ‘ snap your finger ‘ to break your wrist

a max torque of 2065Nm.

Got it to do some work on my sons Subaru in Norfolk this weekend. A 4 day break, at a fishing lodge on the broads. and a weekend comprising of a couple of gigs ( not me), a couple of days fishing, and working on the car.

But I wont be leaving the new toy with my son or I’ll never see it again !!!!

Should have bought one about 4 years ago but better late than never.

One of my favourite tools the nugga. Another for low torque fasteners and the lazy, me being one, but does save some time.

I bought a cordless drill from the well known Chinese retailer site Temu for £2.99

Its very rarely used but when I find a screw that er needs screwing I go out to the smart carry case and take it out and of course the battery has depleated to zero. So then I have to charge it up for two hours while staring at the screw which annoys me to the point I just get a screwdriver out and do it by hand. This then leaves me with a fully charged cordless drill that I don't need that will slowly depleat until the point I need to use it again.

When you look at these tools there are actually loads to chose from , very confusing !!!! so after I found this one, and to make it was ok, checked with Lee first

Ah it's a well known but poorly documented fact that if you don't rev the tool at least twice before you use it, preferably in both directions, It wont work next time you go to use it...

a max torque of 2065Nm.

Presumably that was a typo...265Nm maybe?

Milwaukee seem to be making everything lately, or at least putting their name to it. Not sure of the brand, as it was a 'cheap' brand when I was buying tools for work 10+ years ago. Makita and Bosch (blue not green) have always been my 'go to' brands.

Although Panasonic did make the best cordless drills about 35 years ago. Never see them anymore.

I have had so many decent power tools stolen over the years (from working on building sites with thieving arseholes), I gave up buying quality stuff for a long time.

Holy Dooley, thats a lot of torque irrespective of the typo. I certainly would not want it on my nuts,

You wont go wrong with Milwaukee as long as you go for the 'Fuel' range whhich you have Malc. I'm waiting for an offer to come on the impact gun & drill, even better value then.
Made in USA not PRC

My Milwaukee guns are my go to m18 fuel great bit of kit will tackle most stuff right up to a lot of hub nuts and stuff that kind of size.

We use them in work as well so i know they are not indestructible in a daily high use environment.
But for personal not everyday all day use will last a lifetime.

Shed approved tooling!

Great bit of kit, I got one after seeing the Zedshed HQ one in action. Be careful though, it will flip your car over its that powerful.

got bought one of these Milwaukee things when i retired from my last job excellent bit of kit

 

[Lee]

We've got 6 various bits of Milwaukee kit and they're all brilliant.

The big nugga that Malc has bought we got 5 years ago and she's still going strong.

 

[Jack Ratt]

It's top quality stuff. I used to work for Speedy Hire and they spend millions of pounds every year on Milwaukee tools and as you can imagine, hire tools get well above average use and if it stands up to that, it's more than good enough for a DIY garage.

One thing to add ref Milwaukee after sales, when I first went to use the charger, it didn't work. I had registered the gun on their website and went back to report the issues and got an almost immediate email with shipping label etc. Sent the charger back the next day (A Tuesday) and a new charger arrived by 4pm the next day. No quibbles, they obviously posted the replacement as soon as I reported the issue. That's good customer service.
