  Everything in this kit is 18V except for the 1x 12V 3Ah battery?
  That seems odd, what am I missing?

  • 

    revheadgl on 27/06/2024 - 12:51

    Ha, I didn't spot that. Despite the charger being compatible it does seem a little odd, as there is no 12v tool in the kit.
    I know Milwaukee do some 12v /18v combo kits, but they at least include a 12v tool.

    Dewalt do have some good 12v tools which can sometimes be picked up cheap when on sale, but those deals aren't frequent. And the recent ones have been from Supercheap Auto.

    I guess put it on FB or Gumtree.

    Milwaukee do this too, its trying to lure you into buying 12v skins since u have the battery and charger

  I feel that for a couple of hundred bucks more, those other kits offer way more performance. This doesn't seem good value to me.

      A bunch of DeWalt kits have been posted in the last few days, a lot with pretty good redemption bonuses as well

  Regardless this is extremely affordable. People rant about Milwaukee etc but speak to any tradie, the tools are great but the batteries are crap. For this reason they don't get repeat customers.

  DeWalt make phenomenal batteries which last 8 years +. The tools are cheap so you can run 4-5 sets unlike other brands which are the best brand like Hilti.

  Problem is no tradie can even afford Hilti. Best part is drop it from a 40 story building take it in for repair and it's back 2 days later free of charge.

  Festool is another great brand.

    Yeah can attest to Milwaukee batteries being terrible, but they have some proper impressive tool designs. Honestly with adapters and the rest there isn't much need to stick to one brand, although that's the landscape they are trying to create.

    I ran all Milwaukee tools for a few years and they are the only brand I have owned that has had multiple failures under warranty. 2 x batteries, 2 x chargers, a rotary hammer and a ratchet. And the warranty wait times were atrocious, usually 6-8 weeks.

    Have had Makita for a much longer time than I had the Milwaukee and have had zero tool or battery failures and some of my batteries even date back to 2015.

    The only other batteries I have had fail were 2 Ryobi batteries out of warranty, but that was in the early days of Li-ion. Never had a Ryobi tool fail and I have had a lot of them over the years since the early 2000's

      I don't think I've heard good things about any leading brand hardware warranty claim, funny enough it's probably Ozito and Ryobi that seem to consistently replace with new. A lot of plumbers and sparky's swear by Milwaukee, others have experiences such as yourself.
      But plenty of people have issues with Dewalt too, many do not have good things to say about their warranty claims

        Yes, they are probably all the same in that regard.

        I wasn't the only one in our crew that had Milwaukee stuff fail. My brother had 3 or 4 batteries, a couple of chargers, a rotary hammer and our electricians also had tools and batteries fail. They all stuck with Milwaukee though. I was the only one to change brands

        I have to say though, Milwaukee tools are a fantastic to use.

        I believe its only Ryobi and Ozito that have a straight up walk in replacement warranty policy. Which is how it should be, as it probably doesn't make sense time or money wise to repair most tools these days anyway. And all the Milwaukee stuff I had fail were replaced so the 6-8 week wait time is just absurd.

          @revheadgl: Yeah tradies often can't wait longer than a couple of weeks for a repair or claim and many will just buy a new one while waiting for the warranty claim anyway, guess suppliers are quite happy with this arrangement.
          Funny enough I'm not aware of anyone having issues with the Milwaukee batteries, not the degree you mention, the tools yes, then again guess that's why they only provide 2 years warranty on the batteries. As you say the tools are quite amazing but it's like a toyota tax at this point for Milwaukee but prob not he reliability to back them up

          The only 1 I don't hear much about is Bosch Blue

            @donkcat: Fortunately we had enough spare tools that were replaced with newer stuff and kept for backup that we didn't need to buy new ones. We would just borrow them for the time. Plus we had a ton of batteries so missing a battery every now and then wasn't an issue.

            As far as Milwaukee pricing in Australia, don't forget that Milwaukee Australia were effectively price fixing for years and were recently fined a record $15m by the ACCC. https://www.accc.gov.au/media-release/record-penalty-for-res…

            Bosch Blue. By all accounts very good quality. I have never owned or used Bosch Blue cordless. In fact I literally don't know anyone that uses them, Maybe thats why you never hear complaints about them. lol.

            @donkcat: Bosch blue makes good tools but they're behind the rest. They test and test and test products so once they finally release a tool it's good but as with most brands, it doesn't last. It will get you through an apprenticeship but it would then be all screwed.

        I've had better experiences with Milwaukee warranty repairs, and worse with DeWalt. Milwaukee for me was always replacements, drop them in at a local dealer and get a new one back in a couple of weeks. DeWalt (mostly Flexvolt battery failures) took a couple of months and was painful. I only keep the tools for a year and then replace and offload them, so can't say much about longevity. Any failure I'm dealing with happened within the first year.

        A lot of trades abuse tools and then try to push the boundaries on replacements, so then the tool companies have become painful about eligibility. I have employees and I've caught them misusing tools before, so I can understand that. One advantage of Bunnings is that you can usually just take anything failed back for a refund (although I've had them send DeWalt tools away for repairs before, that took something like 3 months).

    For what it's worth, I used to have all Hilti and sold them for Milwaukee a few years ago. The quality isn't as good, but the power is acceptable and they're much cheaper. The Hilti range of skins is also much smaller, there are a few handy things I've picked up that don't exist in Hiltiworld.

    For bigger battery tools (jackhammers, etc.) I mostly have Dewalt Flexvolt, and I think the Flexvolt stuff is just as good as Milwaukee.

    I'm not exactly in a trade, but I do use these for sitework.
