Great vid bro! I am super excited to get one but I will be waiting for a sale. Perhaps this black friday? If only there were an awesome channel that post vids about tool deals.......LOL! keep up the great work VCG!
This thing is a freakin beast!!!!!! I just tried mine today for the first time and IT ATE THROUGH A COUPLE 2X4S BEFORE I COULD EVEN BLINK!!! I dont know what they did but this thing is the best one I have ever used. I was so shocked at how much power this has. The variable 12 speed absolutely kicks DeWalts 3 Speed Switch. So blade change may not be as quick as the DeWalt style but think about it, that style takes up more space and often gets in the way. Love your videos Vince, very informative. Thank you!
I love Milwaukee tools but the one tool I do miss from switching over from DEWALT is their oscillating tool. The squeeze handle blade change/adjustment was the best and way faster than anything else out there
@@erikhope8315 you can do that with the DeWalt as well. You just press the trigger and there's a lock switch on both sides to keep it on. Only thing is no speed control
I have a bunch of Milwaukee tools that I love and they are all hand me downs from my husband (I use them way more!) but he just gave me this one last night and it’s a miracle!!! I am shocked at how many different things it can do. I learned from you how to use it, so thank you!!!
Definitely buying it! Going to have to get some more foam to re-cut a Packout organizer to make a home for it. Great video, great channel. Have an awesome weekend all! 👍🏻👍🏻
Love Milwaukee and Dewalt. I run both platforms. But I wish they went with the Starlock mounting system that Bosch and Fein has for they’re oscillating tools. It’s even faster, just push and it clicks in, and it’s solid.
I prefer this over the star lock. Replacement blades are significantly cheaper and I don’t mind an extra 5 seconds to change a blade. If you buy high quality blades you don’t have to change them often.
I bought the dewalt a few years ago and absolutely love the way it feels and blade change is better! I switched to milwaukee for most tools , but still use the flexvolt tablesaw and grinder.
Started with a ryobi multi tool. It worked. I used it every once in awhile for jobs nothing else would work for. Then I switched over to to the mileaukee system- the multi tool is now used constantly as it is so stupidly powerful!
I make miniatures (staircases, fences, lots of building and landscaping items mostly but furniture too!) AND I also restore and refurbish doll houses! The Milwaukee oscillating tool was just added to my inventory (thanks Boyfriend!) and it is BY FAR the best thing to ever happen to my workshop! A task that would have taken a couple of days to complete now is accomplished within a couple of hours IF THAT! I was using the 8200 series Dremel and the Milwaukee rotary tool previous to the oscillating tool and those are fabulous aids to my work, but this awesome apparatus blows them two completely out of the water!
I'm a milwaukee guy for sure and have the previous gen of this tool with the stupid hex key blade change however the dewalt version thats been out for years is way better for blade change only pull a lever change the blade simple milwaukee gets that integrated in this tool and there will be no competition thanks for the vid Vince
@@HibatAllah never had a single problem with it being bulky, I am carpenter by trade and using it every day for last few years. And yes , I do like and use m18 tools everyday, and as much as I like most of them I do hate m18 oscillating tool, its not a good one
@@kerktam I guess everyone has their preferences. I too am a journeyman carpenter by trade and I've had my m18 for 5 plus years, works great for me, I can adjust the speed with a dial instead of trying to keep it there with my fingers on the trigger. I just used the Dewalt one a few days ago because I left mine at home..... hated it. The tool isn't bulky itself just the blade change mechanism that gets in the way in certain applications.
Picked one up a couple weeks ago for a bathroom renovation, within the first hour if use it earned the nickname - "The Magic Power Tool" because it does just about everything.
Tried this tool and returned in less than a week. * So out of a fully charged 2.0 CP battery got less than 14 minutes of runtime. *A pain to remove the battery to the point that there is a risk of breaking the battery clips. I can see you had the same issue.16:20 *Looks more like a M18 tool, older M12 was better ergonomically. Put in the large XC battery and it get heavier. *The area under the lever is easily exposed to dust and fine particles. Check inside you will see a part lubricated for smoothing out the release of blades. I will wait to try out the M18, but i see it is a beast in terms of size and big battery.
Vince took awhile for me to get used to. I'm from a part of the country where a few words are usually enough. Now I love the guy, love the channel, and I'm getting the M12 multi.
My first oscillator tool was the Ryobi 18 volt. When Milwaukee came out with their multitool the M12 was tool change and M18 was tool-free. So I went with M18, mainly because of my large M18 line, and two, the tool-free operation. I though the Ryobi was great until I replaced it with the Milwaukee. Wow, what a huge improvement in performance.
they both come from the same design department at Techtronic Industries which owns both tool companies as well as Rigid and Hoover and AEG and Dirt Devil and Homelite
@@coachjm310 True. Bur the Milwaukee is far smoother operating and has a wider swing of stroke which cuts much better. I am very happy with the Milwaukee.
@@coachjm310There's a myriad of channels here on YT that illustrate the performance differences between brands. Just because some of them share the same parent company means absolutely nothing. 11 years ago a friend of mine gave me a ryobi recip saw that couldn't cut through a piece of hardwood 2x4 with a new blade on it. My Milwaukee from the same time just cut through several inches of 1/2" thick steel last week. I travel the country installing corrugators, no one uses ryobi tools in this line of work for a reason, they are for playing house not making money.
Vince, you were asking for Quick change blade oscillating tools, .Well , Bosch , Fein, Festool, Dewalt, Métabo HPT, skill , Makita 🙄🇫🇷👍.The Starlock system has been create by a collaboration between Bosch and Fein ( made in Germany)😉
Fein is fantastic. But the "new" Festool Vecturo oscillating tool (made by Fein) has some proprietary features, such as the plunge attachment for perfectly straight/square/plumb cuts. Only drawback is that Festool doesn't come with the delta sander attachment, although the Fein may fit - I plan to check into that.
Mark McNamara I read somewhere that the Festool Vecturos are actually rebranded and redesigned Fein models. Not just made by Fein, but actually their models if different skin. Make sense if you look at the construction and the tech specs. Just like Mufell colours in red, put their name on and sells Metabo drill drivers for three times the price.
Great review - I have this tool and really like it but it is not clear exactly what the quick change handle does - is it just to lock the head so you can unscrew the bold holding the blade?
just picked one up today, I love the new one compared to the old one, but my problem is ill carry both just cause the older one has been with me for awhile and has always did the job i needed to be done!!! DAMN you Milwaukee for making it better.
I don't know. I preordered through Ohio Power Tool on the first of September. I assume the stores will have them around October 1st. That is supposed to be the official release date.
One of my favorite tools is my DeWalt oscillating tool. But I too have been buying up a lot of the 12v milwaukee. But DeWalt's blade change is superior in my opinion. Just squeeze the lever and change the blade. Never had one slip or anything.
I had the standard18 multitool i thought it was a beast until i tried the brushless fuel version . I couldnt believe the difference it blew my socks off with it awesomeness
First question about things you first saw was dumb but turned out to work really good mine was lazers on saws. Sometimes your line goes away or is covered in saw dust but that lazer lets you keep on cutting. I like my 20v dewalt but if I was going with a 12v I think I'd pick Milwaukee. Back when I was a drywaller and metal stud framing I got the Bosch 12v impact, and it worked great and light weight but Milwaukee has alot more options now in 12v.
My dad has Dewalt and I have Milwaukee so we don’t accidentally take tools from each other and don’t give them back. I love both but I like the blade release of the Dewalt over the Milwaukee. It’s probably like a patent issue or something
Probably buy one but really looking forward to the M18 Fuel version. As to your question Vince, the Ridgid Octane multi-tool does have a quicker blade change.
Did they fix the problem from the old tool of the battery falling out when when you use the tool in a vertical position. That was my only complaint I had with this tool.it would vibrate out of the tool
Yes the lights are nice. But I always wear a headlight to compensate for the lack of said light. I have an M18 multi-tool. One of my favorites and in my opinion one of the greatest tolls ever created.
I am an apprentice plumber and like the idea of using this in tight spaces to cut pipe. I do quite a bit of hot tub plumbing repairs too that are usually in not so easy spaces. Hand tools have their place but something like this could speed up the work quite a bit
Got it on the 22nd. First oscillating tool I own have used the corded makita before. I was impressed when I unboxed and put it straight through some 2x4s great product will recommend.
@@chastblind7606 i believe 229 at the time but I don’t know if i got a lemon now a year later it has a little problem . It tends to shut off something with the power switch im in the processof warrantying it out . This is my m18 fuel model my m12 fuel never let me down
By the way Vince your boy Rob Robilar that tests all the different brands of saws, drills, impact guns etc. just did a review on battery chain saws. The Dewalt came in second over all and hopefully we can get a deal coming up on pre Black Friday or Home Depot Special Days. I was leaning towards the Milwaukee but since I have both platforms Rob liked the Dewalt a lot better and I don't care which way I go. I am very red but have some yellow too, LOL. Keep up the good work my brother.
Why vince you think that the battery stays in place,? My multi Milwaukee m12 1st gen pops out the battery a little bit and the tools shuts off, you think they updated that??
Love the tool. I had got the old one as a free tool so it was a better option, then this one came out. But I have a question/request from Milwaukee. I want to use the tool to flush cut dowels in wood, but the bottom of any oscillating tool scrapes the wood, even though they say flush cut blade. I have filed/sanded down the bottom, but it makes the tool cut slower. A blade precision ground like a flush cut saw or like precision ground scroll saw blades would be great.
@vcgconstruction my m12 fuel multi tool is my go to tool for my carpentry and woodworking needs. However occasionally it will shut off and flash an overheat pattern on the battery gauge even though the battery(s) are fresh and no where overheated. I’ve read online that it could be the temp sensor on the battery or tool that is dirty or debris filled and I cleaned it and still experiencing the same issue occasionally. Why would this be and is it a fault in the tool?
@VCG Constuction I just purchased this one today. Question - what blade would you recommend for cutting plaster with wood lathe for this tool? Gotta cut a bunch of registers out in a house in the ceilings plus the returns. Thanks. It's my first oscillating tool and can't wait to see the difference between this and my small sawzall I've used for previous plaster walls.
Got one, it's a great tool, there is a tool on the market which is a really crappy Macallister tool sold in uk which has the same lever as the milwaukee but the centre pin is a 1/4 turn magnetic pin, so lever back to relieve pressure 1/4 turn pin lifts out, change blade, pin back in, magnetised so just pulls itself in, 1/4 turn to tighten, press lever back down to finally tighten, job done. thing is it is a mains operated tool and really noisy and doesnt have the same cutting angle. maybe they have a patent on it thats why milwukee can't use this method as it quicker as you dont have to unscrew the pin.
My brother and I did a lot of rehabbing mobile homes and we called it "the tool". We did some many things with it and used it so often we would just say "where is THE TOOL" or are you using "the tool?" Are you finished with "the tool". This is tool looks cool
I would also like to know if you had problems with the battery slipping out. I read a lot on the reviews about the battery slipping out and needs to be taped
I find myself buying all these tools just because if good deals, but most serve the exact same purpose. For example, i can do the same job with an impact driver, drill, or electric screwdriver. Cut OUT tool, cut OFF tool , sawzall, multi tool or hand saw lol
Vince, any blade that will cut threw 3 screws has got my vote. Imperial blades I believe had the first blades to do this or maybe it was Bosch. That is worth the price of one of those blades if you have to cut that screw and you cant cut it flush any other way. Good times my brother!!! Ps. Had some homemade Pesto with Fini Liguini and Nicks Sausage from the local market in my area in Maryland. Love the VCG!!!!
I would probably buy this for just the sanding function... you think that would be a valid reason to? Or just stick with my 20v dewalt osc and get the sanding plate?
Yep, and that spring mechanism isn’t even exclusive to dewalt, craftsman and porter cable also use it. So I really don’t know what Milwaukee is doing here.
Great tool, what I did notice was that there was protection on the head of rhe tool , especially when you are cutting close to obstructions , most other brands have rubber overmoulding on the head. The blade change is still a bit clumpy & awkward. Starlock system on the bosch is great super quick. Downside of starlock blade changes is you are then stuck with only one range & the bosch blades are really expensive. I've used a brand new carbide blade on 1 hardened gold screw which cost me 18 quid & disnt even cut through it . We have a company in the uk called Saxton blades who make great products at an affordable price , did mention when cutting gold screws or hardened nails etc its best to use at a lower speed & spray some cutting oil whilst doing it & not to use force & to move the blade along its length. Having said that I've yet to see one brand of blade that will cut through a hardened screw nail or bolt that will last more than about 2 screws , all due to the temp overheating the blade & then the tips wear away super quick. Alot of studwork in the uk which plasterboard is screwed to is hardened plasterboard screws & gold screws so when cutting access in this you come unstuck when you hit a screw. So at about 15quid a blade you could blow 3 three of them in the space of 10mins costing 45quid !!! Not very cost effective. Manufacturers have still not come up with a solution yet ! Blades are great for wood & plastic & non ferrous metals though! I've a few red tools but most of mine are now bosch . All platforms are great I think its all down to personal choice & cost. Red isn't as cheap in the uk as ut is in the states & we don't have lowes or home depot which do amazing sales & discounts on a great stock range. Sadly we just don't have that 😕
Vince, I appreciate these reviews and the detail you go into so much, I'm a tool maniac, that guy that gets excited when the bag gets opened and theres a new feature, I know it ain't much, but I never skip the ads , when I can i look forward to buying some merch too, you guys never dissapoint. Been with ya since the early days, before 10,000 subs, and really am happy to see you continue to grow closer to a mill now. CMD all day Baby! Rock on
VCG Construction SO AM I. Sorry haven’t been around a lot; been dealing with some medical issues. Than on Friday, I ended up breaking my collar bone (clavicle).

I love my milwaukee's but dewalts design is better
I dont like dewalts multi becuase of the trigger style switch. I like the ON/OFF style becuase you can hold it at a weird angle.
@Erik Hope this. A simple on off switch and a speed wheel is the best way to go. I like dewalts blade change but it's so big and clunky
@@delphinocasso81 Yea I wish you could combine the companies. Like them both.
@@erikhope8315 you can do that with the DeWalt as well. You just press the trigger and there's a lock switch on both sides to keep it on. Only thing is no speed control

Has anyone had trouble with M12 and the battery loosing contact and the tool shutting off during use? Happens quite often with my old multi tool.
Definitely buying it! Going to have to get some more foam to re-cut a Packout organizer to make a home for it. Great video, great channel. Have an awesome weekend all! 👍🏻👍🏻
Love Milwaukee and Dewalt. I run both platforms. But I wish they went with the Starlock mounting system that Bosch and Fein has for they’re oscillating tools. It’s even faster, just push and it clicks in, and it’s solid.
The dewalt xr oscillating tool is pretty quick at blade changes. Just pull the lever down
Michael Hooks same with Milwaukee..Bosch just had the best star lock quick connect
Metabo have moved to the starlock system with their now OMT that will be coming out apparently 🤷🏼♂️
Star lock is nice but blades cost more
I prefer this over the star lock. Replacement blades are significantly cheaper and I don’t mind an extra 5 seconds to change a blade. If you buy high quality blades you don’t have to change them often.
When I began to get up in years...I switched to the M12 platform no need to drag around all the weight of the M18.
Best move I made!
Agreed
I like how clear & concise you speak. Great video!!!
I bought the dewalt a few years ago and absolutely love the way it feels and blade change is better! I switched to milwaukee for most tools , but still use the flexvolt tablesaw and grinder.
Started with a ryobi multi tool. It worked. I used it every once in awhile for jobs nothing else would work for. Then I switched over to to the mileaukee system- the multi tool is now used constantly as it is so stupidly powerful!
I make miniatures (staircases, fences, lots of building and landscaping items mostly but furniture too!) AND I also restore and refurbish doll houses! The Milwaukee oscillating tool was just added to my inventory (thanks Boyfriend!) and it is BY FAR the best thing to ever happen to my workshop! A task that would have taken a couple of days to complete now is accomplished within a couple of hours IF THAT! I was using the 8200 series Dremel and the Milwaukee rotary tool previous to the oscillating tool and those are fabulous aids to my work, but this awesome apparatus blows them two completely out of the water!
I'm 42 the LED lights are great, I could not agree more sir!
Totally on point about lighting with old eyes! Put a big smile on my face!

14:44 DeWalt's Oscillating Tool has the fastest blade change on the market hands down it's not even close.
Agreed, also Dewalt is a lot nicer tool. I have all Milwaukee tools except oscillating tool. I have dewalt cause sadly m18 is not even close to dewalt

Probably buy one but really looking forward to the M18 Fuel version. As to your question Vince, the Ridgid Octane multi-tool does have a quicker blade change.
How do these work on laminate cabinets? Thinking I may pick one up to help in the installation of a farm house style sink.

Ridgid, Dewalt, Porter cable all have faster blade changes. I do like the magnet idea though.
Dewalt Atomic tool is single spring loaded lever. Stupid fast.
But they are bid and bulky
And Craftsman
Yea... he set himself up there.... there are way faster blade changes out there. Ordered my m12 fuel multi-tool yesterday 🤪

My first oscillating tool too, scheduled for delivery today 👍
Nice Mr Provy! Enjoy it!
You're going to love it
Can this tool cut sheetmetal?
Where is the power level indicator on that battery? I dont see one.
Just got the m18 version yesterday. Most useful tool I’ve ever owned.
so why did you like the compact batteries better again?> the new ones you can stand the tool up no? old video but im just wondering lol
Just picked one up with battery and charger at home depot. Cant wait to try! This vid got me excited
We had to do cut a 3 inch pvc pipe with wire inside and the oscillating tool came in handy.
I have a Fein oscillating tool. The blade change is faster than the Milwaukee, but I am tempted to pick one of these up.
Vince you are the man another awesome video
The fastest saw blade change is the Bosch GOP 18v-EC with the Starlock Plus system
Dewalt has it too
Craftsman Bolt-On system is technically the fastest.
Would you pick this 12v kit or the older non fuel M18
How does it compare to the brushed 18v....just curious

Why vince you think that the battery stays in place,? My multi Milwaukee m12 1st gen pops out the battery a little bit and the tools shuts off, you think they updated that??
I’ve never had that problem with my old model! I don’t know why it’s happening for you?!?!
VCG Construction thanks for the reply yea not sure neither I thought at first it was the battery but it does it on all of them?!
Got one of these kits for 178$ best tool I have bought. Just as powerful as my corded multitool, and it allows me to use the 12v tools now.
Love the tool. I had got the old one as a free tool so it was a better option, then this one came out. But I have a question/request from Milwaukee. I want to use the tool to flush cut dowels in wood, but the bottom of any oscillating tool scrapes the wood, even though they say flush cut blade. I have filed/sanded down the bottom, but it makes the tool cut slower. A blade precision ground like a flush cut saw or like precision ground scroll saw blades would be great.
@vcgconstruction my m12 fuel multi tool is my go to tool for my carpentry and woodworking needs. However occasionally it will shut off and flash an overheat pattern on the battery gauge even though the battery(s) are fresh and no where overheated. I’ve read online that it could be the temp sensor on the battery or tool that is dirty or debris filled and I cleaned it and still experiencing the same issue occasionally. Why would this be and is it a fault in the tool?
@VCG Constuction I just purchased this one today. Question - what blade would you recommend for cutting plaster with wood lathe for this tool? Gotta cut a bunch of registers out in a house in the ceilings plus the returns. Thanks. It's my first oscillating tool and can't wait to see the difference between this and my small sawzall I've used for previous plaster walls.
Got one, it's a great tool, there is a tool on the market which is a really crappy Macallister tool sold in uk which has the same lever as the milwaukee but the centre pin is a 1/4 turn magnetic pin, so lever back to relieve pressure 1/4 turn pin lifts out, change blade, pin back in, magnetised so just pulls itself in, 1/4 turn to tighten, press lever back down to finally tighten, job done. thing is it is a mains operated tool and really noisy and doesnt have the same cutting angle. maybe they have a patent on it thats why milwukee can't use this method as it quicker as you dont have to unscrew the pin.
My brother and I did a lot of rehabbing mobile homes and we called it "the tool". We did some many things with it and used it so often we would just say "where is THE TOOL" or are you using "the tool?" Are you finished with "the tool". This is tool looks cool
I'm not even an "older fella" but i got a precision screwdriver handle with an LED in it and that thing changed my life.
Is the old version more precise and cleaner cuts?
Omg, Vince is so excited. Like a kid in a candy store.
Bosch Starlock Plus is the quickest blade change. Along with the most firm grip on the blade.
Milwaukee magnet magic! I agree. Magnets make a huge different with repeat work. I dig magnets.
They did a good job with that addition!
Kool video.... Black Friday is just around the corner. XD Thanks for sharing.
Not a bad blade swap system to me fein still takes the cake on the blade swap
question what is the little horseshoe piece that comes in the box ?
I would also like to know if you had problems with the battery slipping out. I read a lot on the reviews about the battery slipping out and needs to be taped
Respect for keeping it teal with the charger bud. automatic new subscriber
Great looking tool I'll be purchasing one soon since I have recently invested in the m12 fuel line.
I find myself buying all these tools just because if good deals, but most serve the exact same purpose. For example, i can do the same job with an impact driver, drill, or electric screwdriver. Cut OUT tool, cut OFF tool , sawzall, multi tool or hand saw lol
Cool tool
I use Fein, but the one I what to play around with is the 18V Bosch multi tool. It's a beast.
Thank you Vince. Very well presented video.
Have you tried Fein Super Cut? 4% oscilating angle, less vibration - and faster than the Bosch 18V..
Vince, any blade that will cut threw 3 screws has got my vote. Imperial blades I believe had the first blades to do this or maybe it was Bosch. That is worth the price of one of those blades if you have to cut that screw and you cant cut it flush any other way. Good times my brother!!! Ps. Had some homemade Pesto with Fini Liguini and Nicks Sausage from the local market in my area in Maryland. Love the VCG!!!!
I would probably buy this for just the sanding function... you think that would be a valid reason to? Or just stick with my 20v dewalt osc and get the sanding plate?
Yes I want one. Just bought the old one. They do work well.
Man, Every time I see that M12 Cable Cutter, I get chills. That thing is a beast, I rip through 750 MCM All DAY with that thing...
I am impressed with the power the tool has. I agree that Milwaukee blades are very good.
Love mine so far been using it since Friday! Blade change is real smooth and its awesome Milwaukee included magnets to hold it in there.
You're gonna like it don! Thanks for the feedback general!
Is it possible to do kerf cuts with a multi tool blade?
Awesome Vince I use my DeWalt Osc. Saw daily without fail maybe I’ll have to add Milwaukee one day … if only Milwaukee didn’t send me some freebies …
Another great vid Vince. I was wanting one of these. So it’s off to the tool shop for me. Again thanks for the great vid.
I love mine!!!… went through 3 ryobi units… this one doesn't get as hot over extended use and cuts through great
Maybe somebody already mentioned it but the dewalt oscillating tool has the quickest blade change, IMO. Tough to beat that spring loading mechanism!
Yep, and that spring mechanism isn’t even exclusive to dewalt, craftsman and porter cable also use it. So I really don’t know what Milwaukee is doing here.
I want one, but I usually wait until mid-fall because my local dealer will throw in 50% off propane coupons with tool purchases over $100.
YES they needed this for shure the only tool i burn through is the oscillator now they have the fuel thank you Milwaukee
Great tool, what I did notice was that there was protection on the head of rhe tool , especially when you are cutting close to obstructions , most other brands have rubber overmoulding on the head.
The blade change is still a bit clumpy & awkward. Starlock system on the bosch is great super quick. Downside of starlock blade changes is you are then stuck with only one range & the bosch blades are really expensive. I've used a brand new carbide blade on 1 hardened gold screw which cost me 18 quid & disnt even cut through it .
We have a company in the uk called Saxton blades who make great products at an affordable price , did mention when cutting gold screws or hardened nails etc its best to use at a lower speed & spray some cutting oil whilst doing it & not to use force & to move the blade along its length. Having said that I've yet to see one brand of blade that will cut through a hardened screw nail or bolt that will last more than about 2 screws , all due to the temp overheating the blade & then the tips wear away super quick. Alot of studwork in the uk which plasterboard is screwed to is hardened plasterboard screws & gold screws so when cutting access in this you come unstuck when you hit a screw. So at about 15quid a blade you could blow 3 three of them in the space of 10mins costing 45quid !!! Not very cost effective. Manufacturers have still not come up with a solution yet ! Blades are great for wood & plastic & non ferrous metals though!
I've a few red tools but most of mine are now bosch . All platforms are great I think its all down to personal choice & cost. Red isn't as cheap in the uk as ut is in the states & we don't have lowes or home depot which do amazing sales & discounts on a great stock range. Sadly we just don't have that 😕
Vince, I appreciate these reviews and the detail you go into so much, I'm a tool maniac, that guy that gets excited when the bag gets opened and theres a new feature, I know it ain't much, but I never skip the ads , when I can i look forward to buying some merch too, you guys never dissapoint. Been with ya since the early days, before 10,000 subs, and really am happy to see you continue to grow closer to a mill now. CMD all day Baby! Rock on
I don't think watching the ads helps anyone lol they still get paid by views not amount of ads watched
Why didn't you show and test the sander portion of the tool? They don't make a sander for the 12 volt. I am looking at it for that purpose.
Nice vid Vince, do gotta say, Bosch X-Lock might be faster; but that’s ok.......cuz this looks like a BEAST😉
Have a good one✌🏼
I’m impressed so far Aepek! 👍🏻
VCG Construction SO AM I.
Sorry haven’t been around a lot; been dealing with some medical issues. Than on Friday, I ended up breaking my collar bone (clavicle). Would love to say it was from something cool; but it was from falling into a door 🤦🏼♂️
So, will definitely be taking things easy for next 6 weeks while heals, & hope by that time; I’m “better”. Been a rough year for a lot & sure will be glad when 2020 is over with😉
See Ya 👋🏻
