What We Like
  • Full cordless freedom in the Milwaukee M12 lineup without dragging extension cords across the shop or pasture.
  • Instant motor brake and crisp trigger response under continuous duty.
  • Essential fuel for M12 Installation Driver and Hackzall. Base allows tools to stand upright.
  • Picked up for $65.00 against a $129.00 MSRP, huge margin of safety.
Flaws But Not Dealbreakers
  • Locks you into the Milwaukee M12 battery ecosystem; third-party batteries are never worth the fire risk.
