I definitely plan to use a smaller m18 battery with it - the 12ah is way too big for it. That said, it looks like the M12 matches all the specs of the M18 and beats it in RPM. Weird. Dammit, now I’m second guessing whether I should have gotten that, too - does the M18 beat the M12 on something I’m missing?

Wait, I thought you were talking about getting an m12 stubby to replace an m18 compact, sorry! I have a m18 hi-torque, m18 compact, m12 stubby and right-angle m12. The compact never sees any real use, the stubby feels better in basically every way. Gonna pick up the new mid-torque real soon to deal with the gap in my torque range

No worries. From looking at youtube reviews, it looks like they're largely interchangeable, with maybe a slightly higher ability to remove fasteners on the M18, along with better lights and a sliiiiiightly shorter length. Between that and it's a pretty smokin' deal, I'm good with it, it'll do for me. I'll have to find some smaller M18 batteries, but that's easy.

I should get that combo on the last page strictly for the battery. In Canadastan, the battery itself is about 350.

Project Farm has a new video on electric screwdrivers: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ealubZGT8ec I used to think they would be useless but a few years gave in and got one form a hardware store when they had them for like $10. It looks exactly the same as the PinkPower from the review minus the sexism:  It's nowhere near the best of the bunch but turned out to be very useful over the years when I didn't have the impact or didn't want to drag it out.

Figured I wanted something to pair with longer bits for assembly/disassembly. The clutch just stopping entirely on it actually is quite nice, and it’s beefy enough to hold up. Apparently there’s an impact version too (Gear Show on youtube uses an older white model in his recent videos).

That paired with the M12 Fuel drill is a killer 1-2 combo that's gutsy enough to do some work and compact enough to carry both with one hand.

I love the M12 screwdriver. I looked a million times at the various lower voltage/screwdriver format versions but still haven't gone for any yet. It's weird that Milwaukee has kept that M4 monstrosity around for so many years without ever updating it (or just getting rid of it).

I can't say I cared about them before and I still don't. At best I'd get a little 12v impact. The guy is committed to the testing though and I respect it though. I mostly came to say that Work Semiautomatic screwdriver is a problematic design. I wouldn't let my kid run around with it.

Anyone got a recommendation for a non-garbage tier left hand drill bit set available online? I've never seen any that I recall in stores locally and shopping for them on Amazon is bringing up an alphabet soup of companies I suspect are selling crap and reviews seem to bear that out.

It was fine for using, and less likely to become a shank than a #3 Philips driver, but it wasn't great at retaining the bits. But it felt p cool to pull that out when you come up on a kid trying to unfuck his bindings in the trees.

Please tell me it had a button you could hit that would open and close each compartment one-by-one, like that scene in the first Iron Man movie where he's testing the second armor he made.

Sadly, no, you twist a ring aft of the compartments and they all open together. And the 'mag' drops and a bit falls out.

Yup. Official reply from Milwaukee is that they send refurb replacements and I received the correct item. I'll run the balls off it until it breaks again, then they can replace it again. Stupid decision on their part, builds customer distrust. I'll be telling whomever I talk tools with about that bullshit. I don't care if it's a refurb, but at least don't have SOMEONE ELSE'S INITIALS carved into what you send to me.

I get it, they're not gonna pull a completely new tool and I approve of their repair instead of replace philosophy, but engravings are a bit much. Especially if you're a pro and engravings are actually important to reduce theft.

What’s the current best option for floor jacks? The Daytona Super Duty jack seems to check all the right boxes but getting one from a Harbor Freight to me is a problem. I wouldn’t say I’m banned, exactly, but I would have to travel out of state. Bonus points if whatever is great these days is available to be shipped for not-insane amounts.
