pretty cool! just bought an m12 my self, hey make sure u torque that down using a torque wrench to 150ftlbs. that is the lug nut torque for Ford F-150's.

The whole World is counterfeit. 😅

Not a big fan of those hooks. But nice light.

I didn't know that Milwaukee would even warranty tools bought on Amazon. I thought you had to buy it from an authorized reseller.

How much was it?

Thanks for comparing the power of the two. I have a 2728-20 and like it, bought a 3017-20 as a second blower. My wife noted the 3017-20 had much lower run time, so I conducted a test using the same fully charged battery. The 3017-20 had half the run time, very disappointing, so I returned it for a refund. I will be buying another 2728-20 or 2724-20.

Well I do believe ebay is safer than shitty Amazon.

I have given up on buying Milwaukee tools from anyone except authorized retailers. I go to our local Northern Tools store now. COunterfeits have become so incredibly good that you cannot tell them from the real thing anymore, especially batteries. amazon itself does not sell Milwaukee tools anymore. Near or all of 100% are sold by resellers and you have no idea what you are getting. Warranty is one thing, but the performance of the counterfeit, especially batteries, is abysmal. You are better off to buy the amazon brand of tools than the coutnerfeits. Lastly, Milwaukee, DeWaIt and all of the OEM MUST do something to fight this crazy counterfeiting!! Today it is no longer worth the hassle to buy from anyone except authorized retailers.

Can that work on a 1/4” hex impact driver or does it need to be a traditional drill?

It’s no good, magnet rocks with the boom extended. Had to return

Iv bought 2 tools on Amazon bare tools there actual Milwaukee products on there just gotta know what your looking at do research and match serial numbers inspect them closely and even look up TH-cam videos I baught my first Milwaukee hex drive impact from ace hardware I still have it running strong used and abused that tool literally working on mopeds and using it as a drill and a impact wrench lol but it’s still working strong

only 2999.99

So if you buy from Home Depot is that legit?

You’re cute

Tell Milwaukee to send you the entire product line on consignment like they do with the bread, soda, and chips at the grocery store.

I'm sure that 99% of the Milwaukee tools on Amazon are just taken from the combo packs you can get on sale at Home Depot and elsewhere. When you buy those big "deals" you can get the tools for more than half price, the catch is that you have to spend a lot of money all at once and you may not actually want everything in the bundle. But if all you plan to do is flip it, that's no problem. There are a number of key evidences for this theory, the chief among them is the pricing. Tools like that drill and the impact driver commonly bundled with it are typically very low price, I ran the numbers a few weeks ago, and if they bought one of the sales at Home Depot then resold at the prices I saw on Amazon they would still easily be making money. The second key evidence, is that based on the reviews and my own experience, the tools usually come in a non-descript carboard box, wrapped in the same plastic that Milwaukee uses, with only the instruction booklet and some padding. This is exactly what you would get if you pieced out a bundle, they can't sell it in the red Milwaukee box because it came with two tools in it, but they can include the instructions and they don't even unwrap them from the plastic. Finally, the tools you do NOT see good prices on are ones that are not typically parts of bundles - often times you will see these at prices above MSRP because these tools were purchased at or near full price and the seller needs to make a profit. All that said, it seems pretty stupid for them to just refuse to deal with Amazon. It's a big inconvenience for anyone that doesn't have a local store to buy from, and only increases the chances of people getting burned by counterfeits since there's NO official presence on the platform. But most importantly, Amazon's returns and exchange process is just so much better than any other online retailer. And even if you have a local store that carries the tools, they might not carry everything. For instance I was considering picking up the brushless M12 rotary tool and wanted to see one, by my Home Depot doesn't even have a display unit to look at. As for counterfeits, the batteries are the biggest issue. Cheap batteries won't just underperform, they are hazardous. That being said, I've seen teardowns of genuine M12 batteries and whatever Milwaukee is saying about the tool and battery talking to each other is at best a stretch. There is a temperature sensor, which the tool can read, but there's not really a chip and there is no BMS or anything of the sort. A temperature sensor isn't exactly special, though I don't doubt that knock-offs also cheap out there too. But the truth is, the only thing special about what Milwaukee makes is that we know we're getting ripped off by a company that we can trust, rather than one we can't 😅. Either way you go, you are paying far more for what you get than you should, but at least the OEM packs are very unlikely to burst into flame. Fact is though, if tool brands like Milwaukee wouldn't use their battery platforms to enforce vendor lock-in and actually licensed their designs or adopted intercompatible standards, it wouldn't be hard for third parties to make batteries that are just as good if not better than the OEM ones for a lower cost even. The reason that counterfeits are so dangerous, is that you already have to violate patents and other IP to make knock-off batteries in the first place, meaning anyone that does so is sketchy to start with. At the end of the day, this is a problem that Milwaukee, Dewalt, Makita, and all the other major tool brands have created because they don't have an open ecosystem.

So where should you buy Milwaukee tools?

I recently used the 6.0 ah x2 and charger starter kit special buy with purchase of tool from home depot. the deal ran out and I purchased the same starter kit from amazon for like 25$ more of the discount deal price 152 from HD compared to 177 from amazon. I bought it from a tool seller that has great reviews but I was still skeptical since it can be a wolf in sheeps clothing still. I highly discouarge from using cheap tools and batteries but no joke comparing the batteries and charger with packinging matieral. I could not fine a key difference they were exactly the same. the only thing I noticed was the charger color maybe looked off but I compared it too the other m18 slow chargers I have from HD and theyre the same! all numbers and performance line up. it started my m18 backpack vacuum whish is what i use since i own a cleaning business. but still im very skeptical about it but so far they lasted just as long as the others and charge at the same pace. i did notice out the gate the charger had a ton of coil whine which has since nearly dissapeared. but its a common flaw with milwaukee. I think I got lucky but ACE and certain authorized tool distros have throwing up some killer deals. this is my 2 cents with a amazon milwaukee tool deal but YMMV. for refernece ive bought a ton of makita off amazon and ebay and havent had a issue with a fake. so thats funny. hopefully you can chime in tim what your thoughts are. I love a good debate.

Good to know. I had slowly come to this same conclusion following Milwaukee reddit over the last year. So from here on I'm going to stick to known channels for the most part. The few drills and batteries I have got from Amazon have been fine as a DIYer though. But better to be safe than sorry.

If it seems too good to be true, it's probably fake.

Bs Look there are Milwaukee tools all over Amazon

The manufacturer knows about it , otherwise he could have sue those , but China bought the Milwaukee , and US returns all the returned Milwaukee tools back to China . They should manufacture in US and let the young generation have job . It is business at the end.

Got mine ordered won’t be here till October 1st lol

Try that on any old bolt and it won't move

They are all fake,supplied by the Chinese

All true. I bought 2 Milwaukee tools from Amazon, saved a bunch, and they are real and work fine. I am retired and my son uses his Milwaukee tools everyday and so far he has not 1 failed anything. So, no warranty on an Amazon Milwaukee tool is better than full warranty on cheap tools that need it. Harbor Freight is the best warranty as you get a new tool in a matter of minutes.

Great stuff thanks

Nice Light 👍

thank you!!

Do you sell the boots? Shouldn't Milwaukee include the boots

Good advice. Thank you.

I’d recommend bypassing the nylon and going straight to a blue or red Loctite on a conventional nut

Somewhere some CEO is flying in a private jet to take a month long vacation due to people like this devoting so much to a brand.

i love trying to get those on majority by hand then getting really pissed off.

The 15 inch packout tote also works great with this sort of setup for a little extra you get a tote that runs the full length of those compact cases, can hold drill/driver and extras on the side. I have one of the compact cases below with a 3D printed organizer for bits.

Tells me nothing

absolutely wrong

If you are using the washer to spread the load over the hole the rough edge down is better to keep it from wallowed out the hole, if the bolt is meant to move like a pin you want smooth side down.

Ive never looked into it before but my thoughts always were, depending on project and surface, was corse side towards material as a lock washer type helper, on quality finished surface smooth side to finished side, on moving parts, bearings or wheels, smooth side to moving part. Please discuss further would love to know what others do in practice.

Can’t say I knew this but I don’t know much so I appreciate the knowledge

Alright so prove it with a torque wrench and some aluminum.

You have the cup you riding to hard show me tools not the damn bag and cup, the packout is 1 thing so many better pieces(best tool storage), but that bag is overpriced and like a 6/10 who cares about a Milwaukee sharpie. Why dont you have the Milwaukee gloves, hat and sweater since you show no tools.

Great videos Tim. Great way to advertise all the new Milwaukee products that are constantly coming out. Keep em coming bud.

You mean Milwaukee InkZall. That’s like saying I love my Ford Chevy.

Thanks for the comparison. Trying to decide between the two and this helps.

Do they work okay for repeated on an off with out wearing down the stud or bolt?

Took too long to explain a simple thing. You forgot your coffee this morning.

It's called a stover nut
