          That “hot drill” part seems to be pretty significant – that could be a decent part of the price.

          But I suspect it’s mainly because the market is limited.

          There’s probably some special things that need to be done to make it compliant to safety regs. It’s also a limited market, and they know the utility companies won’t balk at spending that kind of money.

      Port-A-Band – was to Porter-Cable as Sawzall was to Milwaukee – both were once brand names (like Kleenex and Xerox) that have come to be synonymous with the item itself.

      But a more capable M12 band saw does seem appealing.

      Milwaukee does seem to realize that the plumbing and electric utility markets may have been underserved and can be lucrative markets. Their line of cable strippers and force logic tools – too pricey and not necessary for the general tradesman – may be just what’s needed to improve productivity and enhance safety,

          I’ve been thinking about something like that for a while. A rotary hammer would work on its hammer only setting for light work. I wouldn’t press ball joints out with it but I believe it can be done in the future.

          Something with the form factor of a recipsaw would be great.

        More ratchets (locking flex head, soft grip, etc)

        Really anything that would compete with tool truck brands. I’m a Snap On guy myself, I have a set of Milwaukee wrenches and sockets and they’re great, I would love to see more.

      Supposed to be faster and have more power to let it work in lower temps. One video I saw said down to 45*F but I have no idea how that compares to the current one. Also a lot of people will buy anything that says FUEL on it, even if their current non fuel version does what they need it to.

    This all feels meh to me. My m12 bandsaw has never left me wanting more though I’m not a plumber. The added capacity seems nice but whenever they release a new version of a tool they already had, all I can think is “shouldn’t the pipeline be for things that are *actually* new? Oh, another sawzall. Cool. Give us a track saw already. I can only hope that they’re saving the big guns for the final episode.

      A Fuel fan would get me more excited than most of this stuff. Yes their inverter is better, but Ryobi has had one out for what, 2 years? Impacts got smaller (1st ep). Sawzall got better, but anyone who wants the “best” in M18 would still be looking at the Super Sawzall.

      I’d be stoked if I was a linesman. Look like some nice additions.

      A Fuel fan would get me more excited than most of the new releases. Wouldn’t mind m12 & m18. I a nice little clip on fan would be great.

    That’s a very good thing – because unless you are Paul Bunyon or Superman – flipping a utility pole would be a tough thing. A typical 40 foot pole must weigh at least 1000 pounds

    I’m getting ready to replace my crimper/cutter pliers soon, and this 7-in-1 intrigues me, but I can’t see in the photos how it crimps. Is that function between the pliers and and the strippers? Or hidden somewhere else? The lack of a crimper function is what kept me from buying the previous version.

          Question: do electricians use non-ratcheting crimpers?

          On the electronics side (think Molex Mini-Fit, DSub, 22 AWG ferrules), we always use ratcheting crimpers, and the one time I tried a non-ratcheting one, I returned it.

          Reply
          • James

            Oct 16, 2020

            I think it depends on what kind of wiring they do the most of. I know a couple of electricians that do a lot with home theater, smart home, and decorative lighting wiring that prefer the ratcheting crimpers. Same with some of the industrial/commercial machinery electricians I’ve met. The electricians that I know that do mostly general purpose building wiring seem to use the non-ratcheting crimpers when they run into something that needs a crimp-on connector. I work with hearth and HVAC appliances, and am not an electrician, but have never had a crimp fail using the non-ratcheting style.

          • TonyT

            Oct 16, 2020

            Thanks James.

            I suspect it might have to do with the size of the connector – crimping an AWG10 fork terminal is a bit different than a AWG 26 High Density DSub pin (my bad experience with non-ratcheting was with HD Dsub)

        Is their M12 Hatchet a tradesman marketed tool? Seems kinda “home user” oriented to me.

        Maybe they are waiting on the tech to allow it to be a single battery M18, right now I just think they almost have to make it a 2 battery system just for runtime. And they seem very hesitant to make anything 2 battery, whether its series or parallel (or both like Makita’s 4 battery mower). Who knows.

          I asked Milwaukee to make the “hatchet” as a M12 or M18 alternative to smaller saws that Makita has in their lineup but I honestly expected it to be M18, have a much higher chain speed and a tiny bit longer bar.

    Any lineman in here? The fiberglass bits sound interesting, but as someone who drills through and mounts panels to utility poles fairly regularly, I wasn’t aware that ship augers or ez bore esque options didn’t suffice for drilling through a pole. I’ve only seen catastrophic results in examples of poles or timber completing a path to ground, so I’m curious how possible it is to not notice that the timber is energized long enough to boom up and poke it with a drill? Accidentally dropping/contacting the pole with a live line, maybe? Don’t think they’d be doing live work on overhead lines from any equipment parked on the ground, though lol I really wanna find out if anyone’s got the knowledge. Cool to know it’s a thing, if nothing else.

        Yes, this is my understanding as well, in the same way that glass drill bits aren’t made from glass. It’s unfamiliar territory for me , and my first thought was the same – drill bits made from fiberglass? – before I realized it’s about the application.

    The chop saw seems like something that would be useful for rebar in footers at remote locations…but, that price is harsh and could easily be substituted with a more versatile angle grinder.
    Why not make it a cold cut saw that is more useful for more materials?
    Being cordless and abrasive, are my batteries going to be covered in crap because of the location on the back of the motor…next to the cut material and heat?

    Track saw!

    Did ‘I’ miss it or is Milwaukee still missing a track saw from their lineup?

    None of my “battery powered dreams” came true. Here’s hoping Episode 4 brings me what I’m dreaming of.

      Pretty sure Episode 4 is just lighting systems and PPE.

    The TOOLS look great, not a complaint or whine about any of them. But does anyone else get a… “nails on a chalkboard” or “Disgusting feeling in their teeth” kind of feeling when seeing those awful CG Renderings on the white backgrond?

    I’m getting those feelings. I’m not faulting anyone, just kinda hoping Milwaukee uses more REAL Photos of the products in the future, and leaves the “Renderings” in the engineering department where they belong. They’re a top-tier tool company. Their tools SHOULD look real, and potentially beat up… Trying to fake a glamour shot with the final CG rendering of the tool… I dunno why… it’s a minor thing, but it’s seriously making me feel ill seeing them.

    Again… NOT a Knock against Milwaukee OR their tools. I have a deep RESPECT for them, despite being DeWALT based… It’s not about Team Red versus Team yellow… Those renderings are like nails on a chalkboard, literally. The REAL photos of the REAL tools, do not give me that reaction.

    Glad I didn’t get the current M12 bandsaw as this new one looks better suited to my needs.

    Shame the saw is not a dry cut/cold cut saw.

    $399 for a portable abrasive is expensive but I’ll wait for reviews to see how it handles.

    I’ve been considering selling my M12 band saw. Now I have a reason.

    I like the Fuel bandsaw with the bigger cut capability. But I wonder how much taller it is, and how much more it weighs.
