Got a chance to talk to my Milwaukee rep last night and he gave me a few tools to try out. Most of them have been used to show customers how they work, but are still in pretty good shape.
Tools:
M12 Fuel SDS 5/8″ hammer drill
Laser Distance Meter (I wasn’t even aware they made this)
M12 Right Angle Drill (This was awesome since I started a topic earlier on this!)
Two pack of vice grips
M12 Blue Tooth Radio
The top three will be cool to mess around with, I have about five pairs of vice grips, but it never hurts to try a new product. When I get time later I will post a few photos. The hammer drill is the most used, but if I like it I am pretty sure I can get it cheaper because of that fact.
Thanks,

Nice getting tools to try out.
that’s awesome FB
That is awesome, it never hurts to score some tools even if they r used.
I’d like to give the M12 SDS a try… My work has the XRP hammer drills from that ugly yellow brand, and I’d like to see how they compare.
Awesome deal FB let us know how they work out. I’d love to try the SDS.
Just been messing around with the SDS, it drills with a 3/16″ bit pretty easy. I wouldn’t say it is as fast as using a corded model, but it is pretty quick considering it is a 12V battery. Also, I will probably stick to smaller holes as I don’t want to wear the tool out.
can’t beat those prices…..
After getting to use the tools for a week I thought I should do a slight review.
The hammer drill rocks and I would recommend it to anyone who has small holes to drill in concrete or block. Also, I really like their laser distance measure tool. While it is not something that you are going to use on a daily basis (not me anyways) it is something handy that I can keep in my trailer in case I need just a quick measurement.
