Milwaukee has introduced its M18 Fuel™ Cordless Braking Grinder (2783-22) , offering three improvements over the previous model. The new tool stops spinning in under 2 seconds when the switch is released compared to its predecessor’s 4 seconds, it requires no tools to change accessories or guards, and has a kickback-reducing clutch. These additions have […]
The Anchor Ace Hardware Store in Sandwich, Cape Cod, Massachusetts is now stocking the Farrow & Ball line of paint and wallpaper, and needed a display in keeping with F&B’s presentation in England and the U.S..

Milwaukee Tool is launching a new generation of M18™ Fuel™ Drill Drivers, Hammer Drills and Compact Impact tools in mid to late August, just weeks away. One might wonder what could be done to improve on these tools, but improved they are. I have used my M18™ Fuel™ Hammer Drill/Driver for deep bores in hard […]
The last couple of weeks have involved a lot more of using tools than writing about them, this being the crazy season on the island. There are many new products from Milwaukee that I have not covered. While there are many new items, and upgrades to more than a few existing ones, the big news is still […]
Milwaukee announced well over 80 new products during their New Product Symposium last week, including things such as new drill and driver bit sets, so the actual number is very much higher. This post will cover just a few, with more to come later. One of the big stories was of the new Red Lithium 18v HD […]
This June 16th and 17th saw Milwaukee’s 2015 New Product Symposium, a two day media-only event for showcasing the tools that the company is launching throughout 2015 and into early 2016. The publicity leading up to #NPS15 asked “How Will Milwaukee Unlock the Future of Jobsite Technology?” After wildly divergent speculation, the answer was given […]
When I began this blog, it was not my intention to make it all Milwaukee, all the time, but my enthusiasm for their tools has had considerable influence on the content! While I am currently working on other posts, the introduction and release of the new 46″ Steel Storage Chest and Cabinet has prompted me to […]
I have never liked a dirty job site, and I really don’t like building dirt into my work. I don’t care if it can be covered with flooring or sheetrock, I want it clean before I move on to the next step, so a broom, dustpan and brush are always part of my kit. I’ve tried two cordless vacs […]
My first and several subsequent tests of Milwaukee’s M12™ & M18™ Rapid Charge Station were, at best, only partially successful and it turns out that the problem was entirely my fault. While my 12v batteries always charged without issue, the 18v batteries charged unpredictably and occasionally not at all. It was all flashing lights, no lights or sometimes […]
