Milwaukee Tool M18 FUEL 15mm Random Orbital Polisher 2684-22HD Review

Milwaukee M18 FUEL 15mm Random Orbital Polisher Bare Tool - imp.i284638.ne...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Detailing cars can be fun with the right equipment. Too much vibration with a Random Orbital polisher can not only make paint correction annoying but can also cause long-term damage. Milwaukee Tool came out with a new 15mm polisher that has great power and ergonomics. The vibration felt through the handle is minimal. Milwaukee Tool is really working hard to create great tools for the automotive professional. This new polisher proves that only the best is coming from Milwaukee Tool these days.

I recently bought this polisher and currently have the DeWalt version, my helper uses the DeWalt allot so i bought the Milwaukee for myself, i feel it's a little lighter or balanced, and the battery lasts very very long, very happy investment

[@jimmyfreeze3782]

Good review, I just ordered one. Paint your osb wall sheeting white before it's too late.

BEST CAR DETAIL POLISHER ON THE MARKET. MILWAUKEE ALWAYS MAKES THE BEST TOOLS IN QUALITY AND ENDURANCE AND THE LITHIUM BATTERS ARE THE BEST IN POWER AND LONGEVITY AS WELL.

[@worldsails2000]

I have the non-rob version of this and really like it. I do like the way Milwaukee turned the battery sideways on the ROB version because I tend to bump the battery on the car once in a while. I can do a large wagon with a 5 amp battery. It is very quiet but I still wear hearing protection because the I am concerned about the high pitched brushless whine it gives out.

Great review! Right now, I have/use the DeWalt cordless, but I'm really looking at both this 15mm and the 21mm version.

[@ScottHD]

I've been in the process of testing this one and the 21mm. (I've tested about 10 of the other cordless ones on the market last year).. It's one of the heaviest on the market, but it wears the weight well. It isn't the smoothest, but it isn't unbearable. Never once did I think "this needs more power". The battery charge times are great. Run times are great. The only two things I wasn't happy with: the part of the polisher that the battery attaches to doesn't stay tight. It seems like it would be a weak point, especially if dropped. Second: the gear noise is awful. Sounds like they cheaped out with the machining.

@@ciprian6909 I've seen the FLEX XFE stall like crazy (pass). If you're a diehard FLEX fan, then go with the FLEX "XCE" Forced Rotation Dual-Action cordless. It'll set you back around $600 w/2 batteries and charger w/ a 1-year warranty and FLEX are now made in China and not Germany. With a forced rotation dual action polisher you will get around a vehicle in half the time then with an orbital dual action. That's just a fact. With a forced rotation DA, every movement is work getting done because there is no stalling. There is a small learning curve, but be ready and use plenty of product.

@@still-DJ Thanks for the info D J, I appreciate it!

[@rey11able]

Used it for the first time last weekend definitely worth buying if you're a person who likes detailing your own car recommend first time to use on lowest setting 800 so you don't burn paint don't leave in one spot keep moving it over paint easy to use kzbin.infoUgkxfzbDkCRyv3CFXnLZI4APZtRRuG2uRmP2 truck looks like new again used maguires black light battery life like all milwaukee products seem to hold up well 😀

[@williamdavis922]

I've been waiting to see a comparison video against the Dewalt

[@Crenshawzfinest]

Milwaukee had 2 years to make this better than the Dewalt. Dewalt's DA came out 2 years ago. It's also about $30 cheaper than the DeWalt.

[@whalen530]

Great review been looking for a cordless rotary and da especially when working on my dads cabin cruiser on the water not having to worry about cord’s getting hung or falling in the water

[@kevin_ramirez2529]

Waiting for Black Friday to see if it goes on sale!

[@davidperry4013]

I would use it to buff woodworking projects into a mirror finish not just fit buffing cars

[@MrSupernova111]

Nice! Thanks!

[@LawpickingLocksmith]

Maybe you should tackle Todd's Farmbago?

[@Jarco101]

Very nice tool I wish to have

[@efrenjimenezcruz]

Looks awesomeee waiting for the 21 mm size combo pack but sadly that one haven’t released yett

[@arellano7103]

You can pre order the 21mm at Obsessed garage

[@JoeZasada]

I want one

[@aronp713]

Looking for a Milwaukee m18 tool that I can use it for sanding down my truck and also wax/polish my everyday vehicle

[@matt2244]

I have a meguiars mt300 and it's very heavy and the cord always gets in the way, thinking of switching to this one also that one is much quieter.

[@orangejuicejones571]

Great video, thanks!!! How does this compare to the DeWalt da polisher?

[@thisguyy6965]

Is it a polisher you recommend for Paint Correction? How is it compared to Flex cordless?

[@jeezuscastaneda2564]

Could I use this for buffing a new paint job?

[@lukoitautodetailingllc3124]

Have you noticed any random vibrations with certain pads/polish combinations?

[@roadhogtri]

How does it compare to the Dewalt DA? Size, weight and vibration. Thanks for your time.

[@bryancook4553]

Great video!! Would you mind sharing what type of pad and polish you used? Thanks.

[@WorkshopAddict]

Rupes Yellow pad with Rupes Fine polish.

[@bryancook4553]

Thank you!

[@jeremyoetken2094]

What size pad for the 15mm polisher?

[@terrywalters5410]

Does it have a problem with The rotary part when you get close to curves and edges like the rupes?

[@stephen8385]

How is this compared to dewalt? Which one easier to stall..?

[@begrateful8934]

Can you burn the clear coat with this tool?

[@riceball777]

how does this compare to the m18 7 inch polisher

[@loucifer4205]

Seems like the rpms are too high you can easily burn through the paint if you're not paying attention

[@efrenjimenezcruz]

It is a little higher of rpm to start but being a random orbital I think it’ll be a bit harder to burn through clear coat. Ofc also depends how much pressure and what pad you use as well depending on what type of car it is

[@protectyourcar5889]

I wondering what is the best Rpm! void not to burn?😅😅

[@terrywalters5410]

You would have to sit on an edge of your average thickness of clear coat for a really long time to burn through with a new style DA like this. Burning through was a problem with the old school rotary buffers :-)

[@zrxbeast1100]

Does it stall under pressure???

[@FixthisCD]

Has anyone compared this to the Makita xop02z?

[@MrUriel250]

Does anyone know if it's any better than the DeWALT? This one is slightly lighter which is a bonus for me but not sure about battery life and performance.

[@jackpage2839]

Is the backing plate interchangeable?

[@davidsotelo3021]

Yes

[@davidsotelo3021]

But it has to be Milwaukee, has a proprietary bolt in design to it I went from a 6in to 5inch plate on a 21mm Milwaukee

[@profuse007]

How much and when will it be released?

[@WorkshopAddict]

It is out now, link in description to acme tools. $299

[@arellano7103]

Also in stock at home depot
