Going to pick up my 3/8″ milwaukee ratchet tomorrow, i see you’ve defiantly put yours too work.

I think that led light might be my next m12 purchase.

out of all my milwaukee tools I think I use the little LED light most often, funny story I am my father’s son……for years he had a flash light beside his bed and used it at night to go to the bathroom instead of putting on the lights……I have the same habit….now there is something you would have never guessed about me….lol

 Make sure to get the LED version and not the incadecent version, the upgrade kit is not as good as the factory LED light

Out of all the flashlights I grab, I like the dewalt 20V work light, its nice because if you have to set it down you can adjust the angle and it gives you a nice wide work area, very wide angle.

The light in the pic is the incandescent version, but instead of buying the expensive Milwaukee led for it, I went to superbrightleds.com I believe is the site and got one for a lot cheaper.

Throws a wide beam and bright and battery lasts a looooong time.

The magnet is a nice plus.

That’s why I purchase so many tools long before I ever need them.

When I initially looked at cordless tools, I thought flashlights were a filler tool. Cheap flashlight so they can brag about giving you 5 tools instead of 4. Guess which tool is used more than any other cordless tool around my house? (Have 2 dewalt dcl040 and a dcl050 now)

ya the little LED m12 I have is used so much and it is probably because battery life lasts for ever it seems….

The nice thing about the m12 is the size it’s not huge like a lot of other lights are

I am going to have to try out one of those lights. If they are half as good as yall say they are, I will be happy.

You’ll like them dude just make sure to drop a little extra cash to get the LED version

I would like to get a Milwaukee lantern for when we go camping.

Yea the lanterns are nice but they carry a hefty price tag. Never can find them on sale other than as a free tool with a kit.

Here’s the finished project I secured all the plumbing you see here properly. Drywall anchors from before were pulling out and the filter was so loose.

An electric tankless water heater is never a good idea to buy because it takes a hideous amount of current and the elements burn out really frequent. But they had it here and this is what they wanted. Then they’re going to paint and finish the room, but my work here is done!

Clean work bro!

Nice, electric tankless are nice when venting is not an option

Yea the only time I hear electric tank less units work well is if your water is pretty warm already. If your in a cold climate your better off with an old school electric tanked unit or a heat pump option. I looked at the options for a friend once and just for a shower and washing machine and to deal with the thermal rise we have here he would have had to install a tank less that used like 60 amps in Michigan.

Tankless electric is fine, the problem is there are very cheap units out there. If you are in colder climates, you need to make sure you spec an appropriate tankless, usually a higher output unit.

iHeat is a brand I wouldn’t recommend.

If you are spending the money for a quality unit, they stand up. 50-80a isn’t uncommon and while that sounds like a lot, it is cheaper than heating 24/7!

Thanks for your take on this HiltiWpg, the one I was working on is an IHeat. Two burnt elements in a year and half, not impressed. Maybe just around here, with my experience, but it’s never our first option to install them, they just have not proven their worth, that’s what it boils down to.

I just put in a ecosmart one this weekend took 4 40amp breakers run to it seemed to work good though. Never put in a eco smart though so who knows how long it will last

None of these tool lights are a match for a good Nitecore at your side 😉

Nitecore’s are great for looking for things in a dark corner or shining across the street, but they’re just not built to stand in a corner and illuminate a dark bathroom when you’ve got the power off rewiring it.  Don’t get me wrong, I love my P12, but it’s best when I need to look at something and not so great when I need to see everything.

Another round of my useful collection ;D

Oh and I think these Big Hawg hole saws are now officially my favorite ones for rough in plumbing when dealing with new wood. For nail embedded wood or sheet metal or plaster, I always reach for the Lenox ones

It was very hot that day, basically, don’t touch the roof for very long periods at a time…

So yeah, I have fun with using and taking pictures of my tools

I really like it, it’s probably just as fast as a hand one, but a lot faster when there is a lot of grease to put on a sliding surface, such as the vehicle lifts I used to service, it worked like a charm going up and down the columns vs killing my wrist trying to pump in on by hand. And there was no way I was reaching in there with a brush and bucket of grease…

Maybe my most grateful moment of having this in my possession:

So then Milwaukee sends me some free stuff out of the blue….
