Milwaukee M12 LED vs Xenon Flashlight Comparison by Coptool

Mar 1, 2011 Stuart 2 Comments

What’s the difference between Milwaukee’s M12 LED and Xenon flashlights? The LED version is brighter on paper, but is also twice the price of the Xenon version. What we needed was a real-world comparison, and Coptool kindly delivered!

Milwaukee is coming out with yet another new addition to their M12 cordless power tool family – a rotary tool, challenging the market-dominating Dremel 8200 that we reviewed last June. Exciting!

These soft-shell jackets are water and wind resistant, have 3 heat zones for evenly distributed warmth, a 6-hour runtime, and 3 heat settings plus a warm-up feature.

Milwaukee Cordless Palm Nailer Performance Claims

Oct 22, 2010 Stuart Discuss

We talked a bit about Milwaukee’s new M12 cordless palm nailer last month, but its performance expectations have just been made available. Milwaukee claims that the palm nailer can drive a 16D 3-1/2” nail in under 2 seconds, and up to 100 nails per battery charge. That sounds pretty darn impressive – let’s hope that it can […]

Milwaukee’s Cordless M12 Hammer Drill!

Oct 11, 2010 Stuart 1 Comment

The above-pictured Milwaukee drill/driver looks similar to their first generation 3/8″ drill/driver, but there is a huge difference between the two tools. This one is a hammer drill. That’s right, Milwaukee managed to cram the necessary hammer/vibratory mechanisms into their compact M12 cordless form factor!

Milwaukee M12 Cordless Palm Nailer Hits the Market

Sep 27, 2010 Stuart 1 Comment

Milwaukee has released their new M12 cordless palm nailer. This is the first tool of its kind, and one of Milwaukee’s first to include a new backwards-compatible RedLithium battery. The nailer is designed to take the place of traditional palm nailers, which require air compressors and hoses for power. I’m hoping that Milwaukee’s new cordless hammer […]

Milwaukee M12 Compact Cordless Tool Predictions

Jul 20, 2010 Stuart Discuss

Thinking about the many compact cordless tools out there, I just realized that Mikwaukee’s M12 screwdriver is getting a bit long in the tooth. It’s still a highly successful tool that earned itself a very solid reputation, but spec-wise its age is starting to show.

Milwaukee M12 Cordless Drill a Solid Performer

May 21, 2010 Stuart 2 Comments

Steve from over at the ShopNGarage blog & forum recently reviewed Milwaukee’s M12 cordless drill and driver. The review was overwhelmingly positive, confirming our expectation that the M12 3/8″ drill is a very solid performer. As we also noticed in our own review of Milwaukee’s similarly featured 3/8″ right angle drill, Steve mentions that the drill’s chuck felt […]

New Milwaukee Cordless Right-Angle Drill/Driver

Sep 30, 2009 Stuart 4 Comments

Milwaukee very recently released a new M12 product – the 2415-21 cordless right-angle drill/driver. The main selling points of this driver are its super-compact size, 3/8″ chuck, speed control, 11-setting electronic clutch, and runtime battery gauge. The only thing we read about Milwaukee’s right-angle drill/driver that we didn’t quite like is that the kit  only comes with […]
