    95 % of what I have is Milwaukee M18 so if I jump on the band wagon I would probably look that way first.
    Nothing commercial here just personal use.

    After getting shotgunned in the face and breathing in that pressure washer pump lubricant / antifreeze I think about ma lungs differently now. I could hardly breathe for a 1/2 hour and wasn't normal till the next day. My point is you can ruin them instantly or over a long period of time. Id prefer to not have neither happen.

    I don't even want to think about how much of their stuff I have. Between woodworking tools to automotive I have a lot. No lawn and garden from them ; yet anyway.

    Needed a light for cooking on the flat-top last night and good ole Milwaukee flood light to the rescue.

    The new inflator is nice. Pumped up a completely flat truck tire in about 3-1/2 minutes or so. I was gifted a pretty comprehensive M18 set a few years ago. It's not the Fuel stuff, but has worked well for me so far. I was not impressed at all with their weedeater. Hated their head, so immediately swapped a Husky T35 onto it...still don't really like it. It weighs more than my gasser with a 6.0 battery on it. Also less powerful. And since I'm not bashful about my 'carbon emissions', it's been gathering dust for a while now.

    It has been very interesting over the last 20 years watching Milwaukee market themselves to the point of being the grown man's Beanie Babies/Pokemon, as far as collecting. lol

    CAD is bad. CTAD is probably worse. (for the record, I have passed on some very good saw deals recently. It made me sad, but I may be on the road to recovery)

    Makita has a Microwave to compliment their coffee maker and mini fridge now. :rofl: :lol:

    I have that 18v inflator. Love it. We keep it in the truck along with a 1/2 impact and a tire repair kit for when we are traveling.

    Honestly not a bad price for a jug with Husqvarna on it. Rural King.
