    Milwaukee Tools new M12 FUEL ¼” Straight Die Grinder might replace your pneumatic die grinder! By ditching the hose, you gain greater mobility and access along with up to 0.3
    HP performance, 3-Mode RPM control, and a very familiar platform.
    This new Milwaukee M12 Fuel Straight Die Grinder is similar in feel to the M12 FUEL ¼” Right Angle Die Grinder. Both were made to be similar to the feel and use of pneumatics. You can feel that in the trigger design and feel. What you won't get with an air die grinder is 3-Mode RPM control!
    In this video we test out a few scenarios to let you know the battery life, proper sizing of the accessories and an expectation of tool performance. We hope this helps with your purchasing decisions.

    Thanks for clearing up the collet issue! I had a heck of a time removing the carbide bit I used. Then I saw your video on the silly collet "non-assembly" and put mine together correctly. Perfect! It's a mystery to me why this is not done at the factory. It is far to easy to over look reading the manual, and the manual was punctured by the tool right at that section where the manual tells you to push hard to assemble the manual to the collet nut. Works fine now!

    I'm new to Dremels, but this thing has been great. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxfPgcZ5_Cl0HDUKkMJAKde11YKQZVgMoR The variable speed is awesome and the cordless aspect makes it so easy to work with. I am constantly finding uses for it that make tasks easier. Recently I put in a new deadbolt on one of our doors. I knew I had to enlarge the hold where the deadbolt goes into the door frame. At first I thought I would have to get a big router and figure out how to use it for that, but then I rermembered we have the dremel. I was able to enlarge the hole almost as easy as if I was drawing with a pen. It's also great for grinding our dog's nails done and so many other household tasks.

    As a millwright in a food factory I have a lot of different equipment I repair and build a lot of custom “stuff” or modify “stuff” to fit our needs. Most tools we use are old fashioned plug in. We have cordless drills and impact drivers. Our cabinet does have a lot of cordless tools and my own cabinet have the straight and angled one. The straight is basically useless but the angled one have a small flapper disc on it and I use it for a quick deburr.

    After doing a fair bit of metal fabrication recently, these tools are probably intended for material that's already clean and just needs some mild surface preparation or deburring. Otherwise, I'd slap on the ear plugs, kick on the air compressor, and go to town.

    @workshopaddict, Great Video! I had to make a trip to Illinois last week to pick up a Truck for my Boss,and took the opportunity to stop in Columbus at Ohio Power Tool (awesome by the way).
    They didn't have them out on the shelf yet, but I was able to Sweet talk them into selling me one early. Love this Tool. When they came out with the Angled Version, I bought 2 of them right off the bat, now have 4. That way I can keep them setup with different attachments and abrasives that I use on a normal basis, and they are ready to go at all times. I was really hoping that they would manufacture a straight version and was very happy when I found out they did.
    I love this Tool, and the Angled version as well.
    Since I got the Angled ones I have only broke out one of my Air Powered units on 1 occasion.
    Since getting back home and trying this thing out, I have put 2 more on order. Milwaukee has really changed life for the better for Fabricators, Welders,and Mechanics with some of their new Tools. The M12 Fuel Ratchets are like gold in my Shop, along with these Grinders.
    Keep up the good work Brother!

That's the advice I would give anyone when recommending these 2 Tools, is ti make sure you have at least 2 Batteries for each one if you plan on using it very much.
      I am fortunate enough to own at least a dozen, maybe even 14 or 15 M12 Batteries. I also suggest for anyone buying these to get themselves at least one 6.0ah Battery.

    @michaelwright1602 ปีที่แล้ว

    I found myself rebuilding a Cummins ISX CM-871... I needed a die grinder to remove several gallons of RTV before I in frame it, no gaskets, just RTV... I bought both the straight and angle Milwaukee units. The straight grinder was nice getting in behind the front structure of the motor where the angle die grinder would not work. As of now, I have been using the 3M Roloc Bristle Discs to remove the RTV from the block. I have to say, these die grinders, are the BOMB! Do not put pressure on these like you would with an air grinder, they will shut down, let the tool do the work. I wish I would have bought these years ago. If you find yourself using a die grinder, I would get both if you are doing engine work, or need to get into odd spaces. And if possible, stick with the 3M Roloc heads and tools, the Chinese stuff is hit and miss at best. As far as run time, and lack of a compressor for a proper die grinder, the batteries are inexpensive, I use the Amazon Chinesium knockoffs, you can get a dozen of them for what you would pay for a couple of Milwaukee batteries. Up to 9 volts, no issues. Beats the minute or two I would get with a 20 gallon compressor.

    I have seen all of your videos and like all the reviews you do they really help me out a lot with purchasing new tools to update my setups. I have been a general contractor for years, my father started teaching me at a young age to work with my hands and I love it! I went to trade school for HVAC and I was in that trade for awhile. However, I do general construction from time to time and I have noticed that all of my tools are a little outdated and tired due to years of use. I have slowly updated all my tools to DeWalt 20v max and Milwaukee m18. My little brother uses all my DeWalt tool's and I use my Milwaukee day to day, I can say that the Milwaukee tools feel better and are much stronger than my DeWalt. Now I have one question for you guys I see in some of your videos you have a Jeep! I have a 2014 jeep jk 2 door. I was thinking of using my Jeep to tow a small enclosed trailer V-nose to set up my tools in and make like a small workshop out of. Basically can the jeep handle the weight? Or should I look for a pickup truck? Thanks any help would be greatly appreciated 👍 keep up the videos they are very informative.

    • @WorkshopAddict
      @WorkshopAddict  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you for the compliments and for watching our channel. I have owned 7 jeeps over my lifetime, but only owned one JK, a 2015. That JK was an unlimited, but I do know the power. When I see contractors who have an enclosed trailer, they have some weight in it. More weight than they think. IMHO, being that you have a 2 door, this makes it worse as the wheel base is shorter and the tail wagging the dog effect would be worse. While I think you could use the jeep in the very beginning for short trips, my opinion is that you will need a truck very quickly as you will feel the lack of power in the jeep with any wind and the lack of towing ability with any weight. If you did go this route and use the jeep, be sure to add a brake controller to the jeep and get a trailer with brakes. It would be very unsafe to tow that without brakes as JK brakes are not the best.

    I bought the m12 rotary tool (similar to a Dremel) and I often use it at work to cut threaded rods, or other metal material at awkward angles.
    Compared to my corded Dremel 4000, the little m12 has no guts. It will cut things eventually, but you have to take it slow, not put too much pressure on the tool, out else it would die out.
    After watching this video about the straight die-grinder, I'm guessing 12v just isn't enough.
    It has to be an 18 volt, or maybe just a plug-in tool for any kind of heavy, extended work (not even that heavy)

    I've had the Right angle one for a long time. I don't really see where this one would be better than the right angle other than reaching deep into something. The right angle makes it so much easier to choke up and control in my opinion. Definitely a battery hog.

    • @richardberryhill718
      @richardberryhill718 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I chose the straight one over the angle for several reasons, it's really just personal choice. For me, I've only used straight grinders since around 1968 working in tool and model making shop, for several years in Honda off-road stuff, and personal home projects. Also used the Foredom tools for jewelry and fine metal working. But that heavy motor and drive shaft are always in the way, trying to push my hand around. This does the job but without all of that bulk! The advantage to a straight grinder is really, really fine control. To understand this better, picture a painter using a brush, they are never at 90% angle. For heavier work, say welding, auto, I'd probably select the 90% model. But then, all this is really the reason to have more than one style. You can never have too many tools in my opinion, each one doing exactly its job. Have to say, it was a toss up for me here.

    How do these new Fuel grinders compare with the M12 2438 polisher/sander? I have it and find it great for up to 3” accessories, but I can see where the right angle Fuel’s form factor would come in handy.

    • @WorkshopAddict
      @WorkshopAddict  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I use the polisher and sander for small areas of buffing on cars with a small 3" foam pad. These die grinders do not have the low end grunt to do that. The polishers do not have the high end speeds these have... So, two different tools for different applications. I would never run a burring tool in my polisher and never run a polisher in my die grinder.
