    Tool Milwaukee M12 multi-head driver

    I have the m18 version of that dewalt, and the WEN version of the bandfile. Both very handy when you need. Mine stays plugged in within arms reach of my bench vise. Would love a cordless version of the bandfile built around the M12 angle grinder though. Just don't want to pay the $400...

    Tool Milwaukee M12 multi-head driver

    Thanks. That sounds like exactly what I want (for power tapping small holes <1/4"). The click type are no good, and seem to be what's on most (what I've tried anyway) of the screw driver (not impact) type tools. I'll stick this tool on my 2nd hand radar.

    Tool Milwaukee M12 multi-head driver

    I have not used my 1/2" air impact in a long time. I have a compact 3/8" makita 18v impact, that is surprisingly powerful. I want to pickup a bigger 1/2" for busting wheel lugs, as my 3/8" just doesn't have enough jam for that, and it's not worth uncoiling an airhose out into the driveway for...

    Speed/RPM/SFM Slide Rule

    I have the same one in the OP. Don't use it much anymore, but I have a thing for those old slide calculators, and have a bunch of them for various things. I started using it again more at home as I'm doing more manual machining, and needed to re calibrate myself from the CNC speeds and feeds...

    Tool Milwaukee M12 multi-head driver

    I can see how that IR tool would be very handy. That would be just the ticket hanging from a retractable hose reel above a fab bench so the hose is not always in the way. Yes, I agree about feathering. I used small flap wheels and roloc discs quite a bit to blend 3d machined surfaces, and...

    Tool Milwaukee M12 multi-head driver

    What kind of clutch does that have Craig? I've been looking for a replacement for my old beloved Hitachi 12v Driver (not impact) for a while. That one might do the job if it has a friction clutch, not a click type. The extra attachments would sweeten the deal.
