Top 5 Milwaukee M12 Tools in our DIY Shop

[@LukeA_55]

Wish they'd give the die grinder a bit more power for 3" cutoffs and a locking arbor. I'd buy another one in a heart beat if they did that

[@TorqueAndTwisted]

Might be tough to push more power thru such a small motor, but there is hope as they’ve recently doubled the output of their upcoming 3/8” Stubby Impact.

My fav light is the m4

[@TorqueAndTwisted]

I do like that style light, and I eventually went with the Husky brand version which allows the light to fold down flat all the way to either side and can rotate around making it very versatile.

@@markk3948 I do like that light from Milwaukee. If I didn't have the M12 Rover, I'd go with that smaller Rover. Here's a link to the Husky I was talking about. It's my 2nd most used light behind the Rover. www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-300-Lumens-LED-Flip-Light-K60241/306862598

What’s your cleaning method? Just got some of my first Milwaukee tools and don’t want the to have that dingy look to them after a few uses

[@TorqueAndTwisted]

Biggest method is keeping clean hands if possible while working. Not always possible, but goes a long way when it is. The tools that do get nasty usually get a spray of Simple Green and a Scott Shop Towel to wipe the dirt, grease and oil off. If it’s a power tool, spray the towel and not the tool.

I appreciate a tool user that doesn't immediately have an aneurysm and jizz their rage all over their keyboard whenever someone mentions liking their tools clean. I appreciate a tool user that offers impartial, non-judgmental help cleaning tools even more. You're a boss, dude.

@@TorqueAndTwisted thank you for taking your time to reply!

​@@bippu_lexoI've heard of using wipes

[@michaelgarza256]

Ok real question not being a smart ass but really asking.... why are those tools so nice and new looking

[@TorqueAndTwisted]

Good question: Some of the tools are brand new. Also, I take pretty good care of my tools and workspace to limit the amount of grease and oil making onto everything. I go at my own pace, not throwing tools all over and I generally wipe them off when done if they get nasty during the job.
