Milwaukee Reviews

The tool feels solid in my hands and has power to spare. I had to remove bathroom floorboards that were built up in plywood layers to almost 1 1/2 inches with tile on top of that, and the tool never ever showed signs of strain or effort. The twist lock blade holder allows blade changes in about 5 seconds-wow. My only suggestion would be that the foot extend further out to limit cutting depth more. Otherwise this tool is tough!

I have recently bought this item. It has sound construction and performs great. It is one of the more expensive sawzalls on the market but it is definitely worth the money. It is much more durable than its little brother the 6509 and is great for shop or home use (I use it for both). If you are looking for a home use, couple of times a year tool go with the 6509 but if you need something that will stand up to the pounding and wear of use then this is a great tool. I have never used the 11Amp series so I cannot compare. However to previous years there is a big difference. The included blades work well too. The quick loc cord I haven't found as a positive or negative, but it does work well.

This saw is a bit on the heavy side but perhaps that is why it is so rugged. It's counterbalancing of the stroke makes it's operation smooth with a minimum of vibration and the powerful motor has what it takes for a heavy cut. I'm glad I bought it.

This is where Milwaukee shines over DeWalt, Porter Cable, Hitachi and Makita. The Sawzall has improved while the others are still trying to catch up, with the wrong kind of plastic I might add. It dose not tie itself into knots but it dose not fall apart either. I hate cheep tools that break and expensive ones that break are even worse. This one was made to last and has plenty of power to boot. This thing will demolish your house, your car, your boat and leave Father Joe in tears.

The orbital blade motion clear sawdust on deep cuts, the wrenchless blade chuck operates easily and holds the blade securely, the handgrip and trigger are comfortable and the saw has plenty of power. I use it for the usual woodcutting/remodeling tasks as well as pruning ornamental shrubs. With a metal cutting blade, it has even cut through hardened bolts rusted in place on auto suspension systems.

- The drill can break your wrist and the sawzall is so unbelievably smooth that you can't believe it is actualy cutting. Lifetime warranty too, I love Milwaukee, and definately not for it's beer.

I bought this package for my husband and with it he has removed all the ceiling joists in our home, put up 16' collarties using 3/4" drill holes from with the drill, removed two walls, and more to come! This combination is an excellent two-some for the price. He looks forward to each opportunity to use the tools. The brand speaks for itself and the price can't be beaten.

I ordered this nailer to reroof my house and it has worked flawlessly, it drives the nails to the same depth everytime and is easy to use. The selectable trigger is a nice feature. Also Amazon's description list the fastener sizes it will accept as .75 to 1.5" but it actually will accept .75 to 1.75" nails. I would easily recommend it.

We got this nailer a couple weeks ago and we love it. It is light weight and feels good in your hand. The depth adjusement is nice as well. One thing this nailer has that I haven't seen mentioned is that there is a magnet that holds the nails into place during reloading. We will see about the durability, but so far I am loving this tool.

I had a Milwaukee dual-temp heat gun for over 25 yrs....it only broke after I dropped it several times from over 10 feet onto concrete...I bought another brand and was disappointed...the Milwaukee is much more effective...it concentrates the heat better, and heats things up faster. I do my own car repair work....years ago I saw a mechanic heat a stubborn bolt with a torch to "expand" it enough so he could remove it with a wrench. I 've used this Milwaukee heat gun many times to loosen old rusted bolts...ones that won't budge, even when an air-powered wrench is used. Heat up a nut with this gun and it'll come off. The other major use is paint removal....my son used it to heat up paint on old galvanized gutters, wooden door frames, etc. It's great for removing paint...this job usually is very long and tedious, but the Milwaukee makes it go much faster...since the fan in it runs slower and delivers more heat...instead of blowing the heat away. I've also used it to soften rock-hard caulk, etc. My dad had some vinyl tile on the stairs going down to his basement...and he planned to tile over the stairs....I told him I could remove the old tiles with the heat gun...he didn't believe it could be done...well this heat gun made the job easy, and now the new tile is tightly glued to the stairs...there's a lot of little jobs that you think are very difficult or impossible, but this heat gun can make the difference. I bought this kit since it has the tools....

Great product. I looked far and wide for a heat gun that included attachments. Most do not. This Milwaukee has four of them! And each one of them is very useful. I use mine to melt and shape plastics for furniture grade products. This thing is strong enough to form the toughest plastics I have and the lower setting allowed me to gently shape paper thin Styrene. The attachments aid greatly in diverting the heat from areas that you do not want deformed. Added bonus is the carrying case, another feature that most heatguns do not come with. Just helps keep the shop tidy.

Sorry, I can't review this wrench.
It and all my other tools were nabbed
by some unscrupled fool.
The case looked good as well as the tool.
They must have needed it more than me!!

I originally purchased the Milwaukee to remove the crankshaft pulley bolt on my Honda, but couldn't get it off the first time. The garage torqued it way too much the last time I had the timing belt changed so I paid a local garage mech ten dollars to break it free. As it turns out, even the garage air impact wrench had a little trouble and that guy could deliver 600 ft-lb or torque. He retorqued it enough to get home and I was able to do everything else just fine.

Everything else went well and the Milwuakee had no trouble removing lug nuts and other nuts/bolts. How much torque applied depends on how hard you push on the tool. The lowest torque is 100 ft-lb and I guessed when torquing the crankshaft bolt to 130 ft-lb. That and a little Medium grade Loktite should keep things nice and tight until the next time.

There are similar models, but there are several things I like about this impact wrench above the others. The first big thing I liked is the variable speed which is nice when you just want to snug-up a nut or bolt. I also like it over the rocker switch since it is similar to working a drill. The second big thing I liked about the wrench is the switch for switching between forward and reverse. Again, this is a directional switch similar to a drill. The last thing I liked about the kit is that it comes with a case and a few sockets. This may be minor, but being that I'm not using the tool all of the time, it's nice to have it nicely packed away and ready to grab when needed. The sockets only add to the value since these can get expensive. With the current $25 discount for purchases over $199, it only makes sense to spend a little more and get a lot more.

I'll be using it again for mounting a tow hitch and other general automotive work. Well worth buying.

Although I have not tried these screws in my Senco Autofeed guns, I have tried them in my Makita autofeed systems, and they work better than the Makita brank collated screws. I had tried Senco Duraspin screws in the Makita autofeed gun, and they just didn't work. These do.

The aluminum housing makes this tool very durable. I have had one for years and it has taken alot of punishment, but keeps on working. The main use that I have is to cut aluminum sheets, which it does well. It does what it says it will do. Great tool!

I was amazed by how well this tool work. I have not stripped out a screw since I started using it. It is great at counter sinking screws. It's compact size makes it work well in tight places.

I have 12 routers, from 1 hp to 3 1/2 hp. This router will do just about anything, and is to easy to use. Light, powerful, and controlable, I just love it.
