Believe it when I see it. And then when I’m done believing it you better be believing that my wallet will be empty.
If true the 6.0 battery brings the m12 line up on a other level.

I know, seems strange to showcase it now since the M18 6.0 and 9.0 were shown long ago and not this one. But yeah, would really be a game changer. I could really need the extra juice for my fuel rotary hammer drill so I’m hoping for it to be legit.Mondo1310 wrote:

funny how big foot, UFO’s and new Leaked Tools pictures are always fuzzy….lol
I don’t even really need the one 4.0ah battery I have, but I really want about three of those…
Be awesome for flashlights and vacs. Never have enough runtime on those things too….
Im giving this about 20% chance this is real.
You can run all day with that pack with most tools.
It doesn’t look any bigger than the 4.0 or XC packs right? Could have went with higher capacity cells I guess…
It isn’t branded xc or anything to that nature though

buddy has it in his hand, not like it was driving by at 30 MPH. he has ample time to get a clear picture I think it is un focused for a reason. I could be 100% wrong buy I’m 100% sure there is a 20% chance it is not
I reckon this is entirely plausible. The Milwaukee European conference is on this week in Prague and some European driven products should be announced.
If this turns out to be true, I wonder if we’ll see a 3.0ah ‘normal’ M12 battery pack.
That would be awesome
Confirmed for a Q2 release this year!
Don’t ask how I found out 😉
milwaukee already is way head of every body else in 12 volt offerings, if this is true, all the other tool makers might as well tuck tail between legs and run the other way
Makita is giving 12v tools ago with their new slidepack platform, but Milwaukee owns the 12v market.
Crazy they skipped a 5.0 and went straight to a 6.0

so if it is true, the only thing is hope they don’t have some kind of technology built in that it will not benefit older brushed tools otherwise this could very easily put life back in an old tool or make it worth keeping a lot longer…..
If they can build 6ah packs in 18V, there’s no reason they can’t do the same with 10.8V (M12), its just 6 cells instead of 10. I do question why people are using 10.8V tools though, if they need 6ah of juice for it. I’m sure there will be a few good reasons though….

between the m18’s and m12’s I have I use the M12 for tight area’s and if I’m doing lots of overhead work are they showing less power sure but some times the light weight is a good pay off….
Yea m12s can usually get mostof the job done without pulling the bigger tools out and some of the trade specific tools offered by the m12 line. Can see having the 6.0 with the circle saw or hackzall.

Yeah the fuel m12 5-3/8 circular saw could go all day cutting sheet stock….
Hopefully it’s true that will be awesome for using on hackzall
Would definitely love to see the 6.0xc and a 3.0 for my heated hoodie
gonna get to the point where the batteries are going to be worth more than the tool

Was just about to post that from Instagram! You beat me to it.

I wonder how long the 9Ah m18 battery would power the hoodie? The problem is if it would fit in the battery pocket though, “is that a 9Ah battery in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?” 😉

A 9.0 would be too much for a jacket to be comfortable.

I believe this is a new heated jacket under test in a cold chamber at the Prague conference this week.
At the bottom left of the photo, there is a close up of the M12 6.0ah battery running the jacket.
I’ll have to take your word on that. All I see is a couple of blurry black shapes that could be a battery, but just as easily could be hand grenades or strange powered sex toys.

Still waiting on a 60.0Ah battery
Screw the 60.0 ah, Im holding out for the solar generator pack.
Screw the solar generator, I’m waiting for the Solar emulator pack. The entire Sun conveniently packed to fit your m12 tools.
Cool stuff,i have 4.0 and 2.5 Batts for my Bosch stuff. 6.0 just seems insane for 12v(10.8V) stuff. Larger battery should last a good while I guess.

The M12 Fuel Hackzall doesn’t really run that long on a 4.0 battery. After an hour or two of light demo, it’s time to change the battery.
But isn’t they meant to be as compact and light has humanly possible. That is at least what I would use them for.
The 18/36V equipment would be the power and runtime stuff.

Milwaukee seems to think differently. Even through I agree about compact and light 12V tools, it’s definitely worth having the more powerful tools so people can stick with a 12V line instead of getting a second line or corded tools for things like a reciprocating saw or circular saw.
Nice, I’ve been wondering about larger m12 cells for a while now. I wonder if they’ll release 3ah compact batteries as well.

Don’t know if thats economical for them, hard to say.

I can see that argument. However, Milwaukee doesn’t make a brushless hackzall in M18, which is why I have the M12 Fuel. I have used both, as my dad only uses M18 and has one, and I just don’t like it compared to the Fuel. Even with a 4.0 battery, the motor housing is more compact and the tool is just more enjoyable to use. Milwaukee also makes a ton of M12 tools that they don’t make in M12, although I can’t think of any that would require a big battery. I don’t think of the PVC shear and copper tubing cutter as big battery eaters.

Different strokes for different folks. I can see situations like a guy putting up conduit overhead all day into concrete with an m12 SDS who wants a lighter tool but still some great runtime. The 6.0 pack if real looks identical to the 3 and 4 in size and prob marginally heavier at most. More amps and not much downside wrt to size and weight is a win win in my book. Also there are uses like lanterns and flashlights which never seem to have enough runtime 😉
Don’t see why not, the price on 3000mah cells has come down dramatically. Can’t be any more than 2000mah cells when the 2ah batts were released.Jimbos1ice wrote:

Yeah, I guess I can see it. Though, when you are working like that, you probably isn’t cold any more, and just swap out the spare 2,5 AH battery from your heating jacket: 😀
Yeah, I guess you guys is right. And I can very much see why you would consider the powerfull m12 drill if thats your only one.
I’d like a couple for my red team…..
