Definitely excited about what was released today, but a little disappointed that they didn’t really release anything in the M12 line. Plus their stagnant M4 line. Anybody else feel the same way?
I am disappointed I haven’t seen any modular storage system from them. I don’t want more Dewalt boxes. Also disappointed that a chunk of what we’ve seen for Fuel are updates of existing Fuel tools, ie drill/driver, grinder, impact driver, the Super Hawg they promised at last years event. That said more is always better and down the road maybe I’ll upgrade.
I am excited to see the new lights, the new 9.0 battery, the planer, miter saw, etc.. A surprising amount of hand tools have me excited, including the adjustable length pipe wrench. Lots to be excited about but my biggest interest going in was One Key and we learned nothing other than “keep waiting”. Overall though, there’s plenty shown for me to blow cash on.
I was wanting more woodworking tools myself. What were you wanting?
The planer and the 9.0 battery (a game changer) are nice, but I would have liked to see more. However, I suspect we will be seeing a bit more from them since their big ticket reveal was only teased–“ONE KEY”. They may do fairly well to release some new M12’s with that reveal. But I’m with you. Hopefully they continue to do sporadic releases over the year. Perhaps it is in the best interest of their revenue stream?
Maybe prices will drop on some other toys with the August news.
Still, echoing Bremon, they’ve given me ample reason to give them more of my money.
Did they actually release the miter saw? I was hoping for a m12 fuel bandsaw, the 4 in 1 drill that’s already released in Europe. But I also want to see new things that aren’t already out and improved on.
Miter saw was apparently there and gone in a flash, and, as Eric alluded to in the battery thread some of these are months and months away from release. Drills/impact in the fall from what I gather etc. and the entire year’s releases aren’t showcased at these all the time I don’t think. 4-1 drill would be great.
Surprised they didn’t launch a M12 fuel OMT. At least we got some stuff. Praise the red gods!!
I’m a bit disappointed also. I was hoping to see some nailers, a brushless OMT, and an updated brushless jigsaw
Count me in also for multi tool and jig saw. You guys are reminding me of things on my wish list that didn’t show up haha
Looks like the new Drill is a 1200 in-lbs compact monster. Has anyone caught what the specs are on the new Fuel impact driver?
4 modes. 1800 inch lbs. 3700 ipm. 3000 rpm. Summer release for drill and impact driver, as well as braking grinder, fall for 3/8 impact wrench. Info is on milwaukeetool.com now
I was disappointed there wasn’t any fuel multi tools released today.
I’m not a die hard Milwaukee Fan, but maybe winning the new Drill/Driver will begin to sway me to team Red! It looks very promising!
I do really like the tool box though! Except it’s been in Home Depot for at least a month.
I would really like to see some more woodworking tools. When I hear Milwaukee, I always immediately think Plumbers.
Congrats. You were the one that won.RickyMcGrath wrote:

That’s going to seem more like two years than two months.

I’m sure it will! It’s like buying a new tool and waiting 60 days for them to ship it. I have a hard time waiting on Amazon to get it to me in 2 days. Lol.

Thanks Mike!
You know I’m pretty die hard team yellow myself.
I just got the Bosch drill driver a couple weeks ago and now the Milwaukee. I’ll have to run some head to head to head tests and report back.
