Quite impressed! Batteries on charge, forgot that they send them out flat

I do like the simple attachement for the cut off base, very nice.
I strongly dislike that the cut off guard has only 45 degrees or less of rotation, I can see that being modified very quickly!

Nice. From memory the cut off tool has a hex bolt that is not metric. Don’t lose the supplied Allen key …..

Correct and no place to store it on the tool which is annoying

Thanks that is exceptionally useful to know.
Theres a shiny metal bit on the circ saw foot that looks like a magnet, but is not. I'm going to glue a magnet on to hold the key safe.

For future reference, do we know what size it is? Or I can measure it later - but it would be good to look back on this thread once I've lost it

I’d have to check. Somewhere around 4-5 mm so likely 3/16??

It would be handy if it was 5/32

4.74mm, which I'd say close enough to 5mm might fit?

You can get these

Pardon our interruption...

Never checked to see what size it is.

I do love all these Milwauke tools, my brother has a big selection of them but then he's a maintenance fitter using them every day. I only tinker on a diy basis. Have a few Ryobi tools, impact, drill, grinder etc but im let down by the impact on stubborn wheel bolts.
Would really like the 1/2 and 3/8 impact drivers and a 3/8 ratchet from Milwauke's range.

Used my Ryobi impact today and it failed to get a few wheel bolts off my Son's VW Polo, had to revert to the 1/2" breaker bar and they weren't that tight because id put them on and torqued them up.
Surely grounds for buying a new red one

I have a couple of M12 tools that are really good so this thread is useful as I have been thinking about buying a 3/8" ratchet, a die grinder or two and the cut-off saw.
