[@DezRAT1990]

Thanks Chris for taking the time to provide the information on the tools and deals. I've used your info many times...and give me insight of tools I don't have that I could use...

[@yoseflugashi9820]

They've done studies. It's impossible to pick up a power tool without squeezing the trigger 😂

[@731Woodworks]

😂

[@toddbashem1430]

Often times to the cadence of "shave and a haircut" 😅

[@rudispruell883]

Twice! at least

[@Ceen328]

Known as the 'grill tong double click syndrome'. Not to be confused with the 'grill tong single click syndrome', which brings bad luck to you and everybody around you.

[@tobytootimes7639]

Similar to not being able to hold a guitar without strumming/picking it. Usually overtop someone else trying to talk.

[@kelleysmiley3864]

I could have sworn I saw a video where you stated you reach for the Dewalt router the most because you loved the twist adjustment.

[@johannkrist]

I guess Dewalt didn´t want to pay.

[@731Woodworks]

Apparently Milwaukee doesn’t either since I’ve never been paid by either brand 🙄

[@jmackinjersey1]

That was probably before the Milwaukee router hit his work bench.

[@jaywalker2911]

That M12 combo is life. Just AWESOME

[@WoodyWoodworker]

My most favorite tool is the Milwaukee M12 Installation Drill/Driver. I love that thing!

[@rexx3137]

that m12 fuel impact driver is goated

[@Nachoze70]

Same at my place - the Installation Driver and the 23GA Pin Nailer are always next to me. Absolutely love those two tools.👍

[@mbardz74]

You need to add the, 23GA pin nailer....it is MONEY!!!

[@mbardz74]

23ga nailer, 12v cordless

[@Nachoze70]

Absolutely- the 23GA Pin Nailer gets used every day at my place. Love, love, LOVE it.

[@cbruced24]

Nice job overall on the video to promote the Milwaukee line as your top line I do want to let you know that in the audio you first tell people that the Milwaukee trim router is a sander not a router I hope somebody else has caught that too😊

[@TheDadCave]

The Milwaukee sander has been on my tool wishlist since it came out. Great list.

[@daifeichu]

I've got some of those tools (trim router, drill/impact driver, detail sander, installation driver, Packout) and love them all. I would buy them again if I had to. Also agree that sticking with one battery platform will limit a person. Sometimes another brand will have a tool that's better or just cheaper. Ryobi is a great line to get into for their fans, small weed whackers, lights, and now their vacs as well. All reasonably priced.

[@bread-gz3rl]

As a dewalt guy heres my list of Milwaukee stuff i want: Detail sander, sheet metal nibbler Also the 12v dewalt installation driver is 400x better

[@TheBenjammin]

Have to agree with you on the table saw. I've had mine for a few years now and it's been great. Same with the trim router, I love that little guy.

[@jimrosson6702]

Great tips Matt love my Milwaukee tools and have bought some from your tool deals you send out Thanks for always sharing

[@JoshD4PREZ]

That Fuel detail sander has been a game changer, I also have the Rikon but grab the Milwaukee 9/10 times👍

[@kevinharris6725]

I love the packout for the m12 drill, where can i get the file to print? thanks!!

[@kennethharman2779]

Love my 5 in 1 installation drill that thing is awesome

[@TheFeist77]

I love their m12 oscillating tool

[@therick0996]

I recently picked up that drill/driver combo after having M18 drills/drivers. I was resistant because they are smaller, but it's what I love most about them. Perfect for around the house, too. Have barely picked up the M18 since

[@Kevin-ip8uf]

They're crazy. As an electrician I keep those on me with 6.0 batteries. I can go a couple weeks between charges if I'm just doing service stuff, or all day if I'm drilling holes doing a rough-in. Super lightweight, really powerful, and with a handful of various bits that impact handles anything I need

[@rbcstudents9163]

I purchased a 12v Detail Sander after I saw you demonstrate it on the channel. It is the Milwaukee tool I use the most after the Drill and Driver. One big noticeable thing is that it doesn’t cause swelling in your hand after extended use. It’s a great tool, but wished that Home Depot carried the sandpaper in store.

[@jmackinjersey1]

I find myself grabbing the installation tool a lot. I like the offset head for installing door handles.

[@garymiller5937]

Matt, are there any other heads available for the detail sander, or just what it comes with? Thanks 👍😊. Excellent video!! 😊😊😊❤❤❤

[@ricoIII]

I like that you ended up liking the packout system after your initial opinion on it over a year ago when you reviewed the tracksaw from Milwaukee

[@BodyBuildinManiaK1]

Would you suggest this for a refinishing project for kitchen cabinets?

[@newmill2191]

Can you make a review of metabo hpt and the makita tracksaw

[@jimkonrad2528]

I have the DeWalt cordless trim router and absolutely love everything about it. Honestly, there isn’t anything about I don’t like. My opinion, if you are already in the DeWalt battery system, get the DeWalt router.

[@2gnospam]

Can the mini sander be used with a round head to do paint buffing/detail work?

[@derkaderkavenom]

I don't do much woodworking, I'm more a mechanical person, but this was a great list. I too bought a Bambu X1C with the first print in mind being the newer model Milwaukee install driver insert from that guy you mentioned LOL. Now I'm working on modding some of his designs to fit together in a 21" stacktech box - making a "Common use tools" box for small projects. I also love packout but I'm putting together a Stacktech box specifically for my electrical stuff - that way it's easier to identify. The stacktech definitely seems good, probably not as secure as packout though. I don't care for the stacktech lid's latch system and some of there boxes aren't compatible with one another - which I hope they fix soon.

[@andrewb4584]

That random orbital detail sander is also one of my favorite tools. I blamed you when my wife saw the box. :) Seriously, the router I purchased, for a project I'm starting in the next few weeks. I do a fair amount of metalwork (restore old cars as a side business) their M12 rivet gun and M18 heat shrink gun is also incredible. Won't even get into their plumbing, impact, brushless grinders, and drill/driver, lights, and basically everything else. I've had few disappointments with Milwaukee tools, they're not the cheapest, but they're well built and thought out. I do have a Makita corded tracksaw, though. Can't justify replacing an already incredible tool. Thanks again, love the channel!

[@RAGordy]

Bro, that M2 palm nailer is awesome. Very specific tool for a only a few purposes … but when you need it, it is the only tool for the job.

[@tools6106]

I have the M18 drill and impact, the charger also accepts M12 batteries for charging. Best forward thinking on Milwaukees part. I can foresee a M12 impact driver in my future.

[@Tito1984]

Question. Been remodeling for decades. Switched from Ridgid to DeWalt about 8 years ago. Have 2 DW impact guns. Also have the Mikita 10V impact and drill from 10 years ago. Amazing they are still alive. Talk about a small light weight hand tool for removing screws around the job. Just purchased the M12 fuel combo. It fits into a small bag with the saw. BUT they are just about as heavy as the DeWalt. What concerns me is the impact has a slight jump in the trigger as I accelerate the speed from very slow causing bit to jump off screws if I don't concentrate. I really wanted to like these brand new tools. Regretting I didn't get the SURGE. Is it just my tool? I notice most folks just pulse the trigger to dial down the speed, even many video producers. Not me if I can help it.

[@dmacl123]

Much of what you said I agree. The M18 nailers and multi tool are also excellent. I do prefer the DeWALT 12V drill and impact over the M12, tho. The more battery platforms the better 😂. I can now cherry pick the tools I want/need. They all have their strengths. Great video!!

[@grishagorda4105]

M18 Fuel multi tool is on another level

[@brendantoniello9804]

I think anyone who woodworks should have the cordless brad nailer and new to my shop and my absolute favourite tool is the m12 23ga pin nailer these two guns do everything so much better and so much more conveniently than any pneumatic version I’ve used.

[@novaneo]

I absolutely love all those tools but i hate the adjustment on the trim router, for a reason i cant put my fingers on sometimes it get the feeling it gets jammed and it does turn anymore like the rubber is jammed and after of couple of other passes it start working again im at my 2nd router and it does the same thing.

[@duke81625]

I agree that the driver/drill 12 v are the best. I was on an installation, and left one tool box on one of my shop benches. It contained my dewalt driver/drill set. I bought the Milwaukee set at a( local to the installation site). I now use them exclusivly.

[@duke81625]

Ps: I have the first gen. no hammer drill option. I like corded for drilling into concrete. Coviat, I am a professional. I don't have time for hard duty tasks for the tools to charge.

[@kevinshea4353]

First thanks for that tip on the router Allen nut tightening!! Second, too funny on liking the track saw too much to give away. LOL

[@OneWhoWas]

I'm not a Milwaukee person, but that small detail sander is pretty interesting. If I was into the Milwaukee battery system id have bought that by now .

[@thoenew1]

Milwaukee makes good tools and their m12 line has many good options. The grips are garbage tho. They are so uncomfortable from being so fat. I own a few, but use my 12v Dewalt regularly, most comfortable grip.

[@toddparker2924]

My work van got broke into at Home Depot last week and all my ridgid cordless tools got stolen, along with some of my Milwaukee m12 tools. My first purchase was the m12 drill/impact kit. I love the compact size. Then I spent $2500 on Ridgid tools. Love the content you put out.

[@rowankeltizar5961]

Sorry to hear that. I had about 1k$ stolen out of my car a few weeks ago. Immediately replaced everything to the letter.

[@scottbionicnerf8727]

Great, honest video Brother. There's more room in my tool arsenal. For cordless and for corded. My primary concern is the tool function and form, and not what team colors they're sporting. Lots of tool makers are making it easier to get onto their respective platforms now. Compared to Milwaukee (and I'm already on both platforms 😎) I'll likely be adding FLEX and SKIL battery platforms to the arsenal as well this year. Gotta couple buddies that swear by FLEX. I wouldn't ever go as far as replacing ALL my cordless stuff with just one brand or platform, unless they're buying. I think SKIL's Power core line has promise. I've watched them be put through their paces. My intentions don't end there, I'm tired and I need to get to bed.🤓😎🤠

[@mikeredhead2894]

I agree with this list. I have many of them.

[@ElClaudio]

The hack to not buy into a whole new battery and charger ecosystem is by overcoming our basic fear of adaptors. I dipped my toe with the Ryobi nail gun that you recommended, and instead of getting the whole kit I just bought a Makita to Ryobi thingy that opened a whole new world of tools to me. After that, I didn't think twice about buying the multitool and I probably will end up getting a Ryobi jigsaw and blower too, without a single Ryobi battery in sight. I know these are not "official" so you might not want to mention them in your channel, but they're out there, and they sure help save a lot of money.

[@bobbytables4305]

You can 3d print in TPU if you want more shock absorbtion and don't want to cut/carve foam. The lower the number on TPU the softer it is (more rubber like) but also harder to print.

[@Freddie2598]

I own all the tools you own except for the tablesaw I have the Ridgid table saw on all my trailers that folds up and is on wheels works fine working in the field and my cabinet making tools are complete different story

[@Klatubarada1979]

Man I had to trim down to one battery system, how can you manage 5?? Thanks for the vid!

[@rmmccarthy1240]

Nice job 👍

[@markpalmer3071]

I really like the Milwaukee gear and thanks for sharing your thoughts on the better gear they have. I’m just a bit disappointed in the quality, bad chuck on my drill, a jigsaw that gets really hot, and the framing circular saw switch just keeps failing on me.

[@sarikdavid90]

You need to get M18 FMT oscilating tool !!! Absolute beast and lightyears better than anything on the market !!! You get anyone within listening distance to come and be amazed how the automatic speed works and sounds !!! Must be added to this list as that is the ultimate Top 1 tool ✌️

[@danielromans6746]

Why do you say if budget is an issue then buy the Dewalt or Bosh corded router? I have two Milwaukee 5616s that would more fairly compare to the corded version of the Dewalt or Bosh for a similar price range. I am thankful you talked me into the detail sander and trim router.

[@Minimal444]

Introducing Milwaukee Fine detail sander - basically an oscilating tool with sanding attachment. So why would I exactly buy it?

[@d.k.1394]

I love any nice tools even though I barely use them

[@jeffranck6080]

I've been a Milwaukee fan for years and years and have lots and lots of M18 batteries. When I needed a new drill and driver for my RV I went down and purchased a new M18 drill and a new M18 driver. When I got them home and tried to use them, the runout was so bad that I could not drill a round hole with the drill or keep a phillips screw engaged with the driver. I wrote to Milwaukee and explained what happened and asked what their runout specs were. They never even bothered to respond. The Milwaukee tools went back to the store and I purchased a makita driver instead. Much smoother than the newer Milwaukee tools. This is the second time that I've been burned by a Milwaukee design change where the old tool works perfectly while the new tool is unusable. Not sure there is a lot of red in my future, given the problems that I've had.

[@Pugsbrew]

I've seen numerous comments about the zero clearance guides coming loose, which is not good. Any feedback on that from anyone?

[@zachtutor7998]

It might have been expensive, but after dealing with DeWalt, Ryobi, Rigid, and Makita over the years - I've made the switch to using ONLY Milwaukee power tools for everything. They're just the best and never let me down like every other brand. I like using something I know is going to work.

[@henrychristy2054]

What tool battery platform should i go with, i have a Dewalt 18v and Ryobi 18v, should i go with Milwaukee or others

[@731Woodworks]

Hard to say for sure. I think they all have their strengths. It depends on the tools you need for your type of work.

[@CrossCut_Custom_Builds]

The trim router is hands down the best I have used.

[@jamesa8851]

The Milwaukee Oscillating Tool is by far the biggest gap between the competition of any tool I've used. Cuts twice as fast as any other brand. The side to side action is way more than anyone else and you can't stop it.

[@solomonshv]

i got the 1/2" router for $210 from FAO. the normal price is $350, that would have been too much for me, but at $210 it was an insta-buy for me. also got the 3 drawer packout box for $100. both great tools. most of my tools are dewalt (because i'm cheap) but the red team has some tools i can't say no to

[@Roy-ij1wq]

IMHO the best tool is the M18 Rocket dual fuel tower light. One 4Ah battery lasts most of the day and light is daylight clean. I have yet to use it with a cord because it is so easy to adjust and move around with the battery. Perfect for painting and doing electrical work.

[@mikebarrs9347]

3:40 I’ve ruined several items with that Milwaukee router slipping. I’ve tightened it down more and more so much that latch is hard to close and it still slips while in use. Now i never use it.

[@waynecanning4122]

Miliwaukee battery powered nail guns are better than other brands nail guns, In my professional opinion.

[@baseballdude8491]

Yes the fine detailer is the bomb The Metabo HPT 36V 1/2" plunge router and Belt sand are superior to the Milwaukee's Makita trim is the best for control 40V Makita track saw for me Metabo HPT 18V compacts.have best ergonomics and u can get a kit for $100 with two batteries So two sets for 1 m12 M12's too fat in handle Tough built and Milwaukee are nice But I can get 3 sets of Ridgid for same price I have moded them to fit what we need.on jobsite and shop

[@the-bu3lb]

What is the and were can I buy that guide for the smaller router ?

[@731Woodworks]

It came with my router

[@MrWaldorfian]

I noticed you didn't mention or show any Makita tools. Do you have any experience with them? I bought the Makita track saw because Festool is way too expensive for what you are getting. A lot of other brands seemed cheesy to me.

[@Ericec4126]

Will the DeWalt track work for the Milwaukee saw

[@budcushman4408]

Milwaukee and DeWalt tracks are not interchangeable. The DeWalt track is two-sided, allowing you to run the saw in either direction. The theory, I think is to allow you to set up one side for a 90-degree cut and the other side for a bevel cut. You can't add the TSO square attachment to a DeWalt track either.

[@robk1310]

What is your opinion of the Kreg tracsaw? And where does it rank?

[@731Woodworks]

I like it. I have a review of it on the channel a couple years back. It's a nice saw.

[@andrewr2650]

The Kreg is tough to rank because its somewhat unique. There are a large number of track saws that all have their controls laid out basically the same and the tracks are interchangeable. Then the are a few others like Kreg and Dewalt which are setup a little different, also their tracks are not interchangeable with the other brands. None of that is specifically a bad thing, but something to keep in mind.

[@brokenwrench404]

[@mitchphillips3561]

Have you tried the metabo hpt cordless routers? I have the trim and my boss has the Milwaukee trim router. I prefer the metabo hpt.

[@731Woodworks]

Not yet, I need to pick one up

[@mitchphillips3561]

It’s a little lighter. Which is nice and it has a good base. It’s not a metal one like he Milwaukee though. I think my favorite part about it is the on/off mechanism. It’s got a two button process. I think it’s a little safer. And the button placement is nice and ergonomic.

[@TheOneTexan]

If you want the best impact driver in the world.... Look at the Milwaukee Surge impact driver. It's quiet, low vibration and scary fast. If you are not ready it will sink a screw 1/2 below the surface before you blink. It has 3 speed settings for this reason. I love my 4 in one. Had it about 3 years. Powerful and very useful. Love the grinder also. The quick change guard is awesome. I use it a lot with flapper discs and sanding discs to remove material fast. Picked up a hook and loop diamond pad for it the other day for shaping tile. God Bless. Have and Awesome day.

[@rowankeltizar5961]

I tried thr surge but the one I got couldn't even sink a 3in screw in 3/4 cdx and fir joist. Very disappointed so I immediately returned. Very weird. No issues with the normal impact

[@TheOneTexan]

@@rowankeltizar5961it must have been defective. sorry to hear that. i use my impact a lot so the reduced vibration was a God send. I've actually had my hands go numb from the vibration.

[@williamlutsch4259]

No sander OF ANY TYPE will ever make it into my top list of tools.

[@ST-0311]

🤣 Too true!

[@timlawrence3906]

I looked up that router in Amazon-$638!!! WHOA!!!

[@advanced8526]

All brands have some 1 ups on the other im stuck in the dewalt 20v 60v platforms though. I have just spent way 2 much to change it. I like some of each better. Like Ryobi has huge cordless fans. Etc etc You cant have the best of everything unless you buy every brand and care not the costs.

[@WoodyONeal]

You subliminally want a sander / router combo tool :) I get it.

[@sma11caliber]

In your opinion is the M18 or dewalt XR orbital sander better, my Bosch recently broke and I want to get a cordless one

[@731Woodworks]

I haven't used any of the cordless sanders for these battery platforms.

[@dyllinbernard6720]

I would say don’t get a cordless sander, if you do any amount of sanding you will run through batteries. Also, the Dewalt cordless is pretty mid, I have it and the corded and the corded out performs the cordless 10x over

@@sma11caliber I'd go with Milwaukee if I was choosing between the two.

I haven't used the DeWalt but the M18 is hot trash. I have the Makita and Bosch as well. The Bosch is the best, Makita is mediocre but still better than the M18.

I have the trim router, The face plate is not symmetrical. I was using it to make a recess for a new newal post for a staircase I am rebuilding. I used stop blocks on both ends of the run. And they did not come out the same. I am very disappointed with the results

[@timmietimmins3780]

This is standard. You actually have to center the base plate on a trim router every time you install or remove it. In fact, it's WHY a lot of base plates aren't round. Because then at least, you can use the flat side against a fence, and because the tool cannot rotate, the distance from the fence remains constant. But yeah, I think it is a giant noob trap that they provide it stock with a round base (thought I think makita does too, but I can't recall as I have mine on a plunge base).

[@scottmorris4914]

I think the Fuel line has taken the 12 volt line of tools into a decently powered line of tools, where 18 volt is not needed. A YT channel evaluated 18v oscillating tools, and Milwaukee did not have the M18 Fuel model out yet. So they wanted them to evaluate the M12 Fuel Oscillating tool in their evaluation. The M12 beat the others in many categories.

[@Sidious6460]

Yeah the Fuel line has the necessary power in my experience, even if it's 12V.

Do you sell or could you sell your 3D prints for packouts?

You can buy them on Etsy from others. I have them linked in the description

I really wish more manufacturers would get away from the slide switch in angle grinders. Yes, the paddle switch might make you have to hold it, but it’s a major safety feature that having a slid switch doesn’t include by its nature. I dont have the numbers to compare it to a table saw, but as an industrial pipe fitter, angle grinders can and will mess you and your day up if you’re not careful.

[@timlawrence3906]

Which would you choose between the Milwaukee and Dewalt Track Saws?

[@731Woodworks]

Milwaukee for sure.

[@timlawrence3906]

I'm going to Woodcraft and Rockler in Orlando 1st weekend in March and was wondering what my next Festool tool might be. My first was the ETS 125 and it's awesome! I don't have a Tracksaw.... hmmm

[@derekclark5658]

@@731Woodworks hypothetically speaking is this still true if you have no Milwaukee batteries and roughly a million dewalt batteries? Planning on getting a track saw and I’m between sticking with dewalt, moving up to this Milwaukee, or potentially going festool. I don’t currently have any Milwaukee or festool so both would be a new battery platform. Current (very slight) lean is Milwaukee but curious what you think. Dewalt would be cheaper since I don’t need batteries and festool is probably slightly better, but …. Decisions. Lol

[@JP-ec8fe]

I’ve owned both the DeWalt (corded version) and the Milwaukee. I’m in the Milwaukee platform already so I sold my DeWalt as soon as the Milwaukee was available for preorder. That being said having owned and used both, by far, I prefer the Milwaukee. The fit and features are much much better. The only thing that was nicer about the DeWalt were the quick squeeze clamps for the tracks but that’s super minor.

[@robk1310]

What about the Kreg Tracksaw?

[@akbychoice]

Random orbital router YES

[@JacobandAlaina]

I have had both table saws. Dewalt is more powerful, but I sold it and kept the Milwaukee. Use one battery platform.

[@paulhopkins1905]

The Dewalt wins for me on the router, I much prefer Dewalts adjustment style, (cause they stole it from Porter Cable) the twist style and depth gauge are so much better. I'm a big Makita fan, and think they make better tools overall than Milwaukee, but I love the features of the Milwaukee tracksaw. My Makita is great, and I could care less about the riving knife, but the depth adjustment is so far behind the Milwaukee. If I were starting over, that tool alone might sway me towards team red

[@ryanmcadam1]

Don’t worry Matt, you’ve sold me on the Milwaukee sander already… I just need the money to get it lol

[@B-Hez]

Was at Home Depot and picked up the M12 fuel impact and the ergonomics are absolutely terrible. It was bad enough to make me stay away from those. I much prefer the Bosch, Dewalt, or Skil 12v tools.

Have you seen any Dewalt wall storage like the Milwaukee? All i was able to find were EXPENSIVE tool boxes.

Are Milwaukee tools/accessories/storage pricey? Absolutely. Is all of that worth every penny you spend on it? More than you know. Buy Once, Cry Once is my motto, or at least one of many mottos I throw out there from time to time. Every time I reach for a Milwaukee product, I know it will perform to the highest level possible and never let me down.
