Read MoreCordless Miter Saws – Dewalt FlexVolt vs Milwaukee M18 FUEL
First let’s start by clearly stating we understand this is not apples to apples comparison looking at a 12” vs 10” miter saw with very different traits and characteristics. That being said the overwhelming feedback we are getting from those actually in the market for a larger capacity cordless miter saw and willing to spend $600 or more they are …

On one hand they don’t even sell nails but on the other they have lead the way in many cordless innovations. We got our …

Milwaukee is expanding their M18 FUEL cordless line up into new uncharted areas with 4 new cordless finish nailers! Milwaukee got out of the pneumatic nailer business several years back and certainly don’t make any nails so it makes us wonder how these will do. That being said, with the success of their M18 platform the demand for more and …

Since the beginning of SDS-Plus Rotary Hammers it seems like the preference of most users has been for the longer style D-Handle made famous by Bosch Bulldogs (current models 11255VSR or RH228VC). Even today with corded models these longer D-Handle hammers sell 5-to-1 to the more compact units with vertically mounted motors. It’s this fact that makes it so surprising …
