Electric Ratchet for sure. 100% the best tool I've ever purchased.
Electric Sawzall/Hacksaw. ETA: Why do you have so many of the same drills/impacts that serve the same purpose? |

Me too. I just picked up the 1/2" fuel impact. Going to get the 3/8" next. The full size cordless circ is awesome and the larger portaband. I cant go two weeks without picking something new up. So addicted. Worse than brd

I will not use any other electric tool than a Milwaukee. If another company comes up with a "truly" Made in America line then I will highly consider jumping ship.However, that has nothing to do with tool performance of these Milwaukee. All mine are M12 because that is what my ratchet is and i like the ability to share batteries. You could take every other tool I have, but please leave my M12 ratchet, drill and impact. I'll manage with those.

I've got a mishmash of tools, all corded. A Rockwell multi tool, dewalt and a black n decker sander, skill circular saw, skip drill, etc.
I've been looking for cordless tools with common battery and the Milwaukee brand appears to have a great selection. My brother is a Bosch fan. Great tools and I really like their 3/8" 12v drill around the house. |

Their m12 sds+ hammer drill is my most used tool after the band saw and impact This is excellent advice. I am a residential electrical contractor and love the M12 line. My most used M12 tools are the Fuel impact and the Sticklight. The sticklight is absolutely awesome, I can do an entire panel change in a pitch=-black basement with only that light. It fits into my back pocket so I can crawl thru an attic with it easily. The M12 SDS-plus rotary hammer is excellent, you would never believe a 12 volt tool would be so powerful, it's all I use anymore, I haven't touched the Hilti SDS-plus in years. The M12 bandsaw is great as well, but I don't use it that often since I do mostly residential. But its awesome to have around and works MUCH better than a saw-zall. |
