- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 ธ.ค. 2023
- We pushed this new Milwaukee M12 Brushless Rotary Tool to see what kind of power it could deliver. With 27,500 RPM on tap and 12-speeds, you can easily dial in the amount you need for the job. You also get a toolless bit change with the onboard collet wrench that is integrated in the tip of the Milwaukee 2525. You can get this new brushless rotary tool for $129 as a bare tool, or you can get a kit with a 2.0 Ah battery for just $199. #milwaukeetool #review #nothingbutheavyduty

I like that quick change nose wrench thing, that's pretty clever!
It is a great little idea. Thanks for watching.
First throught: I rarely use mine, but when I do, I use it a lot, but really, no need to upgrade.
On Second Thought: Oh, look, built in wrench, must order the new one ASAP!
I only just got this tool today love it!
The only tool i have been looking forward to
I’m glad I waited for a brushless M12 rotary tool, now I can finally cut the cord of my Dremel rotary tool. Now it’s time for Milwaukee to come out with a Fuel or brushless version of their compact blower!
Thanks for watching.
Having burned up the brushed version, I'll be getting the new one soon. The light is definitely needed as well.
I was afraid they had changed the head design where it wouldn’t allow flex shafts to be installed. I’m glad to see they did keep that ability. I’ll probably be upgrading soon now that I know my flex shaft will work with the new model.
If I didn’t already own the gen1 brushed version, I would definitely buy this one. However, since i have the older one, i will just wait until the brushes wear out to buy a new brushless version. That would probably take a decade since I use it infrequently.
For rotary tools, i almost always care about ergonomics over power. My favorite rotary tool is actually my much weaker but much lighter 4v ryobi with the usb-chargeable batteries. I want to be able to hold my rotary tool in one hand like a pencil and cut or grind something precisely.
When i need power to cut something, i get out my brushless 18v angle grinder or various saws that i own. When i want to drill in tough material, i use a drill. I use rotary tools for precision work where precision matters more to me than power. I would have preferred it if they would have kept the same power as the old gen1 brushed version but made the tool smaller and lighter.
So usually when i need a rotary tool, i start with my 4v ryobi and switch to my m12 brushed when i need more power. I often don’t need more power for what i do with rotary tools.
Built in wrench is a nice touch.
I like the tool less Collett and the power.
Thanks for the video and review brother.
I could've used this for cutting hose clamps. Would've saved me a lot of time. Definitely on my tool wish list.
I use the gen 1 all the time. you can apply more pressure than you can on the right angle die grinder which isn’t saying much.
Ryobi makes a quick change cut off wheel, reasonably priced and works great . Picked up a bunch on clearance last January. Same for drum sander , I didn’t have much luck with it but they all suck, hard to change or slip off too easy
Do I need the straight die grinder? I love my right angle…
Great review as always! Have you noticed any vibration with cutting disks on the new M12 brushless tool? The old one would vibrate for me at full speed with cutting disks.
Tim, as for the accessories, those are traditionally square drive on the flex shaft. Does the new tool have a corresponding female square drive feature in the base of collet area to mate with the flex shaft during installation?
I thought the original was more a hobby tool but it came in handy for fine detail work, even when making ceramic tile cuts (using some cheap diamond blades). Porcelain was a bit too hard, and was looking at the battery die grinders, wonder how this thing stacks up in terms of torque or if they'll release a Fuel version.
That said, doesn't the old one go up to 32k rpm? The fast rpm is useful for some situations, otherwise I'd have gotten Proxxon's.
Interesting it's not a "Fuel" branded tool.
It is not a FUEL brand. It does have the brushless motor, but doesn't have all the communication of FUEL tool. Although, it probably doesn't need it. Thanks for watching.
What he said. In this tool you really have no need for all the extra electronics involved with a Fuel tool.
They still gotta sell us another one next year so that’s why no fuel on this one
Credit to Milwaukee. Ryobi puts HP on everything; even tools w/o the extra connector. Milwaukee only puts Fuel on legit products.
@@CodeBluMagik
True
If/When Milwaukee designates a tool to be in the fuel line it is the top of that segment of tools. You are assured a high level of professional grade tools.
As technology increases they will upgrade accordingly. I have always respected the way Milwaukee offers their tools. Other than a couple, if it says Fuel it's the top if the line.
Some other companies (yellow) will have 9 different dang drills with almost the same specs. If you are new to the battery powered tool world and choose to go yellow, good luck. You have your work cut out for you trying to make a decision on which one is right for you.
Heck even trying to figure out which battery platform is a pain.
How does this compare, particularly in power, to the Ryobi HP brushless rotary tool? This is obviously more compact and can be used without a flex extension, but is the 18V Ryobi a noticeable step up in power?
I just use this tool(GEN 1)today and it’s fine.
I don’t see the need to upgrade to a newer tool, especially since I don’t use this tool all the time, but it’s works great when I need. I have a couple of the Dremel accessories, just wish the plunge cutter/drywall cut out accessory was made out of metal
We don't blame you a bit. The Gen 1 rotary tool is still a great tool, and if it still works for you, then keep on keep'n on. Thanks for watching.
I burned out 3 of them, so I switched to the M12 straight die grinder
What mandrel and cutoff disc did you use? The fiber
Deciding between this one (because I have loads of m12 batteries) and the dremel offering. Can't decide lol but I hate idea of having two separate battery type in my tools.
I hadn't bought the older one because it wasn't brushless. I had a good corded dremel with a flex shaft etc. I use it at the workbench where the 6 ft cord isn't really a hassle.However, the other day, I bought some new wood caster armchairs for the kitchen table, and the pocket holes under the arms and seat were left a little raw-edged and splintery (just like their 30 year old predecessors, alas Chicom QC is still the same as 30 years ago for fit and finish unfortunately). Finish your stuff properly! Raise the price if you have to.
Not a unfixable problem, dremel + burr and...well the chairs are easier to do in the kitchen, so I grab my dremel...the cord isn't quite long enough, so I grab a 25 ft extension cord. This little task plus it now being brushless sold me on buying this tool. I'll still keep the dremel for bench use; I have a clampstand and I really like the flex shaft.
Could you link to that cutoff disc/blade?
Thank you
You're welcome. Thanks for watching.
I don’t see a need for it if you have the m12 die grinder with a 1/8 collet.
When going from brushed to brushless the tools get bigger & heavier, I have the brushed version of this rotary tool. That’s what I don’t like. I have the brushed & brushless Milwaukee multi-tool & I prefer to use the brushed bc it’s a smaller footprint & lighter. The increased power isn’t everything. You got to be able to get into tight spaces & sometimes hold the tool at an awkward angle & it gets tiring with a girthy, heavier tool.
Ugh pre ordered one. Still waiting!
ACME has them in stock.
will this work with Dremel accessories or are these all propriatery?
The original you can put the quick collet release on from a Dremel. So that's identical. I was excited until it was disclosed that it's fatter..... What the heck. It's already humongous compared to a corded Dremel.
Any good for tool engraving. My 22 year old engraver gave out
Do I even need the straight angle die grinder?
Looks good I’m interested. I assume it will work with Dremel brand bits right?
OK looks like it will work as is with Dremel bits 1/8” size.
Yes, Dremel and other common sized 1/8" bits and accessories should work with no issue. Thanks for watching.
My old brushed one just stopped working.
I wonder how this would do in removing window glazing putty
This will take Dremel's accessories?
My Dewalt orbital sander died. Waiting for an M18 fuel / brushless version.
Us too. We can't wait to see a 6" brushless orbital sander. Thanks for watching.
Is this the same thing as a stright die grinder or is this more like a dremel tool
It’s smaller than the fuel die grinder but you can get a 1/8 collet from Milwaukee for your die grinder and use the 1/8 bits in it.
Why do they have to make them more chunky. The new M12 ratchets that are even chunkier than the version before
Wow
Thanks for watching.
When can it be purchased by us mere mortals?
Now.

@@Shoptoolreviews good deal. Any word on the self adjusting milwaukee pipe wrench?
@@Shoptoolreviews Mine came today. Thanks for the review.
Milwaukee, upgrade m12 rottary hammer!
About time. That first gen fuckn sucks ass. Any slight pressure amd it'll be toasted. I went through 2... on my 3rd amd it's a pos.
Damn it.. now i have to buy one. Thanks a bunch guy..jk
Sorry for the peer pressure. Thanks for watching.
That head design is awful. Can they not just add a chuck like the Drexel accessory. They’re cheap and essential if you buy a multitool.
Thing sounds like a damn mosquito.
Useful though. Hopefully battery life is real world fair
It does sound a bit like a mosquito. Battery life is pretty good. If you're using it for long periods, then we'd recommend an XC battery. Thanks for watching.
