    Tool Milwaukee M12 multi-head driver

    Tks. Very nice! Good video. Hard to justify since i have the DeWalt and it has more power than the 12v Milwaukee you suggested. Also - i find the much longer length of the Dewalt makes two handed use easier and gives a lot better control (compared to a smaller, compact battery or air die...

    Tool Milwaukee M12 multi-head driver

    I do like the 3M roloc system. I have a small air disc grinder and an air die grinder (1/4”). Since I got this, see pic, DeWalt 20v die grinder the air powered tools are pretty much not used. Some of my Dremel accessories are here too. I did an in depth comparison between the Milwaukee and...

    Tool Milwaukee M12 multi-head driver

    Yes it has a clutch, it is smooth but not very strong even on the highest setting. But in the drill mode the trigger is very easy to control amount of torque. I have quite a few M18 tools and like them. This is my first M12.

    Tool Milwaukee M12 multi-head driver

    The deal is - it’s yours, done! - This gives you a reason to stop in for a visit/tour of my mini shop in Burlington (next time your travels gets you close by). I often parked my rig out front, so no issues leaving you wheels there (it’s a dead end street). I’ll send you a PM with the address...

    Tool Milwaukee M12 multi-head driver

    Oh yea - this is my first M12 tool. It came with a M12 charger that I do not need since I have a couple of chargers that do both M18 and M12. So if anyone wants the M12 charger you can pick it up in Burlington or I’ll ship it for the cost of mailing.

    Tool Milwaukee M12 multi-head driver

    At the Alymer meetup I meet reps from Wise Line Tools. I asked if the M12 multi-head driver was coming on sale (M2505-11). They said maybe in the fall. I did not want to wait that long and I am very glad I decided not to wait. This little drill/driver is so very versatile it is amazing. I have a...
