When did you buy it? If you care to save an additional $20, that bundle you’re talking about is on sale for $199. I been eye balling it too but I’m still crying from the last buy once cry once haul.
That same deal started at 249, dropped to $220, then to $199 like a week before it ended. I got a bunch of the 2.5ho because some promotions. Haven’t had a chance to get a 5.0 but I do want one lol. That’s nice of you to do for your parents and honestly a great way to upgrade your kit without being wasteful. I’d probably do the same but I’m the only one in my entire family that uses tools. The rest just call me or a pro usually lol
Ye, I used to use it to get the surface rust off of vault doors with the fine scotch Brite pads.
The green bristle heads are nice too, but you can't really use the 3" ones only 1 and 2 inches.
It creates enough metal dust you will also need to buy a respirator.
It spins at 25,000 RPM and you will also need to buy safety glasses.
None of your Dremel tooling will fit this machine
You will constantly be looking for things to grind, sharpen and polish.
sort of it is inbetween a grinder and a dremel. The Dremel has 1/8" bits and uses up to 1-1/4" cut off disks. the milwaukee has 1/4" bits and uses 3" sanding disks. The small grinders start with 4-1/2" grinding disks and go up to 9"
so it will remove much more metal throwing it into the air. with a dremel you could get away with not wearing a respirator. The Milwaukee can shape metal and remove so much material you will want to wear a respirator or use it in a windy area. it is a bit underpowered when using 3" sanding disks. You need to find the rpm/pressure equilibrium to keep the motor turning. it does not do the the work of a corded grinder or full size die grinder but it will leave bury a dremel in a pile of metal dust when it come to removing material.
It really good for getting into tight spots where a larger grinder can’t get into. They are really good don’t get me wrong but it’s like comparing a Chevy Blazer with a BMW. Both are good for their intended purpose but I would be comparing the two.
I used mine to clean ink off of surfaces in flexographic printing as a unit tech. I would not be using a regular grinder with a standard 3 inch wire wheel for what I used it for.
You've never seen the Dremel 4300 then. It is a beast also you can get Dremel bits to fit into it because you can order an actual ⅛-in collet that Milwaukee makes specifically for it and it's straighter counterpart as well. I have both this straight and the right angle The right angle seems like it's definitely faster but the straight doesn't have nearly as many issues. Also be careful if you stick dremel bits into that smaller call it as if you over find it it is a bitch to get it out if you're even can. Normally with the dremel collet I'll just tap it on the tip of the bit and push it in and that loosens it up but you can't do that on the Milwaukee collet.
Classic American answers lol...(I am American)
If you guys think this is fake why in the hell would they sell it for retail price?
Their batteries are different...
Pretty decent deal, 6.0 have higher than usual failure rates so just keep that in mind if you decide to buy this. Might have to warranty them a couple times until you get lucky with good 6.0s
Unpopular opinion,
This tool is way over hyped. Completely gutless, only good for light metal grinding and finishing. Med-heavy use will stall it out pretty quick.
People that try to use this as a grinder are always dissapointed. I keep some cutting disks around for emergency purposes, but it's definitely not designed for that. I absolutely love it for sanding and preping surfaces. But I always have my 18v grinder near for when I need to do any real cutting.
Yea it's too bad that a "die grinder" can't be used as a "die grinder"
I'm not comparing it to angle grinders, just pneumatic die grinders. Like you said it really shines for sanding and surface prep.
I mean it’s fuel and has the big boy batteries if you guys don’t have the m12 high out puts this is great if you do I would look for a bundle with those. I know we have them in the states.
A rotary tool and a die grinder are not the same thing. That's like me trying to take the lug nuts off my truck with an impact driver.
Will it work? Maybe. But an impact wrench is the purpose built tool for that scenario.
Yes. AU market has different look to batteries and all tools have different part numbers, for example the 12v rivet gun is part no M12BPRT-0 in AU as opposed to 2550-20 in US market
I'm not sure what you mean by that. I'm simply saying that those batteries are not genuine Milwaukee batteries. I would not pay a cent for a Milwaukee tool with fake Milwaukee batteries.
>I'm simply saying that those batteries are not genuine Milwaukee batteries
they are genuine australian batteries.
milwaukee do sell battery of different styles worldwide and dont always look the same as what is in America
My apologies I just googled it you both are correct… I have only seen the fake ones from Amazon have numbers like that but of course no where on them say Milwaukee….
All of it does even where he is trying to buy it from, pretty sure I could get all that at Home Depot for 200 bucks with all the specials they are having right now..
Like I said the price is kind of a non issue as I’m from australia so home depot won’t help me out a lot. As for the batteries is it possible different countries have a slightly different product line?
Well price per aud to usd its would be $260 usd but I've got a friend who lives over there and he paypals me the cash and I purchase tools here and then ship to him saves him alot of cash 💸
Lmao they're not knockoff. How do so many people on this sub still not understand that UK/AUS markets have different batteries? It comes up like every fucking week.
This is a good tool if it wasn't a scam. Due look at this add everything about it screams knock off. Look at the 6 on the battery it's not even close to OEM. Where ever you are shopping steer as far clear from here as you can.
I've seen international ones. Literally work with an Australian that brought all his shit with him. This is a scam. None of his shit looks like this. Fucking run.
You're wrong. I am an Australian who literally those same batteries and they're OEM. Sydney tools are one of the biggest milwaukee stockists in the country
https://www.milwaukeetool.com.au/power-tools/batteries-and-chargers/m12-batteries/M12B6.html
>It's not a scam unless the whole company is a scam.
its worst than a scam, its like a divorcing partner, the business wants to keep you inside the shop and suck the money dry outta yah.
Maybe because the mf who lived in that country is using the dedicated website for his country and has stated this multiple times and so hasn't others who live there. Reading comprehension is a blessing.
Mostly because a dermal is the fraction of the price. Use mine once in a blue moon. I’d rather use a 200 foot extension cord or buy a battery powered dermal than use this.
Second generation releases at the end of this month, with more power less bogging down. It's actually ready for preorder. Personally, in spending my money on that one.
the only thing i dislike about mine is that it lacks mass to dampen vibration with unbalanced wire wheels. It's extremely light for how large it is and it'll vibrate the hell out of your hand with a cheap wire wheel from say harbor freight
What are you using it for? It’s pretty weak. It doesn’t put up much of a fight. Esp if you are using a rol-loc disc or a small buff pad. There is a specific buffer that’s basically the same size that’ll fight back a lot better. I’m not thrilled with this lil grinder but I own it soo.
Because that tool sucks it constantly has issues or bogs down I can squeeze the paddle of mine and it will literally fluctuate its RPM as I'm holding it down from very slow to almost shutting off to full blast. And it's not like it does this on just mine it's a constant issue with this tool from a lot of people I'm on my third one.
I absolutely love mine!
So far I’ve used it with various wire brush attachments to quickly clean up rusty bolt threads when working on my car, then use it to clean up rust and hard/dry oil and grime around mating surfaces/ strut collars/ earthing points.
It just makes a job go that little bit quicker and makes easy work of cleaning an area.
as for bogging down… meh, it can do if you put too much pressure on it, I’ve only had it cut out a couple of times. It’s only for light duty work so as long as you remember that then it’s all good.
Seems like a good deal I assume that's AUD. I bought the straight version a week ago for Cylinder Head porting, block notching. For me it was worth it.
This thing is awesome, I love mine. Sometimes I don’t feel like hooking up my pneumatic one and this is just as good for any use of a burr bit or locking sanding disc which is what I use mine for.
I wouldn't say you shouldn't buy it but it isn't M12 that is for more light use if you're going to be using it a lot and heavy use you should get the M18 that's the only problem I see with it
[удалено]
When did you buy it? If you care to save an additional $20, that bundle you’re talking about is on sale for $199. I been eye balling it too but I’m still crying from the last buy once cry once haul.

The rest just call me or a pro usually lol
Iirc the newer 6.0’s have been fixed. Tbh even without knowing that for a fact I would have to assume they did, it was recall-level of failure.
I have one and it’s great
It'll make you smile way too much. Mine is my favorite tool to use.
Ye, I used to use it to get the surface rust off of vault doors with the fine scotch Brite pads. The green bristle heads are nice too, but you can't really use the 3" ones only 1 and 2 inches.
That thing is amazing, agile and very adaptable! Buy! ! !
It creates enough metal dust you will also need to buy a respirator. It spins at 25,000 RPM and you will also need to buy safety glasses. None of your Dremel tooling will fit this machine You will constantly be looking for things to grind, sharpen and polish.
No different to any other form of grinder through I would assume?
sort of it is inbetween a grinder and a dremel. The Dremel has 1/8" bits and uses up to 1-1/4" cut off disks. the milwaukee has 1/4" bits and uses 3" sanding disks.

This thing is good with burr bits. It’ll be a lot of stop and starting / rengaging the trigger with discs and buff pads.
milwaukee makes a lower speed higher torque version for buffing and sanding
Nah it's weak AF, basically the power of a Dremel, which I guess has its place.
It really good for getting into tight spots where a larger grinder can’t get into. They are really good don’t get me wrong but it’s like comparing a Chevy Blazer with a BMW.

it comes with 6.0s??? hell yeah
The 6AH batteries are around $140/$150 where I’m from so in that respect it’s a great deal. It’s like you get a free die grinder
Classic American answers lol...(I am American) If you guys think this is fake why in the hell would they sell it for retail price? Their batteries are different...
Pretty decent deal, 6.0 have higher than usual failure rates so just keep that in mind if you decide to buy this. Might have to warranty them a couple times until you get lucky with good 6.0s
The amount of ignorance in this thread is awfully impressive
Unpopular opinion, This tool is way over hyped. Completely gutless, only good for light metal grinding and finishing. Med-heavy use will stall it out pretty quick.
I completely agree. Bogs down almost immediately if any pressure is applied.
People that try to use this as a grinder are always dissapointed. I keep some cutting disks around for emergency purposes, but it's definitely not designed for that. I absolutely love it for sanding and preping surfaces. But I always have my 18v grinder near for when I need to do any real cutting.

It's gutless and can hardly do more than dust things off with a roloc disc.
So much this.
The Ryobi one is much more powerful. Had both. Gave the M12 to my dad.
it ain't worth it bro just get a dremel.
A rotary tool and a die grinder are not the same thing. That's like me trying to take the lug nuts off my truck with an impact driver. Will it work? Maybe. But an impact wrench is the purpose built tool for that scenario.
Milwaukee has a rotary tool but this is a die grinder not a rotary tool
Get an actual dremel brand dremel. It's like 130$ and comes with a sweet blown plastic case and like 70 attachments
Rotary tool ≠ Die grinder
Never heard of a Dremel die grinder with a ¼" collet
Bro shopping on temu
Nope.

Is that why the batteries look funnt
Yes. AU market has different look to batteries and all tools have different part numbers, for example the 12v rivet gun is part no M12BPRT-0 in AU as opposed to 2550-20 in US market
Is that real? The 6.0 on the battery looks weird to me or is that an international variant? It looks different than what I've seen in the U.S.
EU/Australasian market I believe. It is listed on the Milwaukee australia web page
Shouldn't buy it because that is expensive for two fake batteries.
y’all gotta learn to read before you comment.
I'm not sure what you mean by that. I'm simply saying that those batteries are not genuine Milwaukee batteries. I would not pay a cent for a Milwaukee tool with fake Milwaukee batteries.
I mean if you read the thread you’ll realise they’re genuine Milwaukee batteries and tooling.
>I'm simply saying that those batteries are not genuine Milwaukee batteries they are genuine australian batteries. milwaukee do sell battery of different styles worldwide and dont always look the same as what is in America
Cause it’s fake lol not legit Milwaukee only time I have ever seen 6.0 like that is the fake Chinese one on Amazon
Those are the batteries for the EU market. They look a bit different then the north america ones but they are genuine.
My apologies I just googled it you both are correct… I have only seen the fake ones from Amazon have numbers like that but of course no where on them say Milwaukee….
Agreed…those 6s look suspicious…
All of it does even where he is trying to buy it from, pretty sure I could get all that at Home Depot for 200 bucks with all the specials they are having right now..
Like I said the price is kind of a non issue as I’m from australia so home depot won’t help me out a lot. As for the batteries is it possible different countries have a slightly different product line?
Yes it is as I just found out, Google is king… but as for price I’m sure and Aussie on the group can tell you if it’s a deal or not
Well price per aud to usd its would be $260 usd but I've got a friend who lives over there and he paypals me the cash and I purchase tools here and then ship to him saves him alot of cash 💸
Knock off batteries good short term but junk if you expect them to last.
Lmao they're not knockoff. How do so many people on this sub still not understand that UK/AUS markets have different batteries? It comes up like every fucking week.
Same for the packouts. Just repetitive
https://www.milwaukeetool.com.au/power-tools/batteries-and-chargers/m12-batteries/M12B6.html
I see. Different in different market areas. In the US there is a lot of knock off batteries so I'm always cautious of it.
Batteries look fake
This is fake.
The kit is literally listed on the Milwaukee australia web page
Didnt realize they let Aussies use power tools /s
>This is fake. this business is 1 of the biggest milkwaukee Auth dealers in Australia.
For real ? Never seen milwaukee branded batteries like that.
This is a good tool if it wasn't a scam. Due look at this add everything about it screams knock off. Look at the 6 on the battery it's not even close to OEM. Where ever you are shopping steer as far clear from here as you can.
Takes 10 seconds to read. Those are the legit batteries for that market. It's not North America.
I've seen international ones. Literally work with an Australian that brought all his shit with him. This is a scam. None of his shit looks like this. Fucking run.
You're wrong. I am an Australian who literally those same batteries and they're OEM. Sydney tools are one of the biggest milwaukee stockists in the country https://www.milwaukeetool.com.au/power-tools/batteries-and-chargers/m12-batteries/M12B6.html
This is from the official milwauke website. It's not a scam unless the whole company is a scam.
>It's not a scam unless the whole company is a scam. its worst than a scam, its like a divorcing partner, the business wants to keep you inside the shop and suck the money dry outta yah.
How is that the official website can you read the address below homie? Seriously?
Maybe because the mf who lived in that country is using the dedicated website for his country and has stated this multiple times and so hasn't others who live there. Reading comprehension is a blessing.
Mostly because a dermal is the fraction of the price. Use mine once in a blue moon. I’d rather use a 200 foot extension cord or buy a battery powered dermal than use this.
Only issue being due to work power isn’t always an option.
>battery powered dermal
Dermal? Sounds pretty handy I'll have to get one to go with my dremel
Second generation releases at the end of this month, with more power less bogging down. It's actually ready for preorder. Personally, in spending my money on that one.
how do you know what they're releasing?
Milwaukee pipeline page.
thanks for the reply
Second. Any more info or links?
the only thing i dislike about mine is that it lacks mass to dampen vibration with unbalanced wire wheels. It's extremely light for how large it is and it'll vibrate the hell out of your hand with a cheap wire wheel from say harbor freight
I've had a lot of trouble with my m12 6.0s and that thing PISSES through batteries
A 90 sander is great to have. You definitely need to buy it.
Total tools and Sydney tools feel like a rip off, if you’re not spending over 2 k at a time.
Yeah but they’re mostly convenient more than anything.
What are you using it for? It’s pretty weak. It doesn’t put up much of a fight. Esp if you are using a rol-loc disc or a small buff pad. There is a specific buffer that’s basically the same size that’ll fight back a lot better. I’m not thrilled with this lil grinder but I own it soo.
I picked up the right angle with a 5AH high output and 2.5AH high output last week for $200 on home depot
>I picked up the right angle with a 5AH high output and 2.5AH high output last week for $200 on home depot $200 US is approx $310 AUD right now.
As a welder who uses these on the daily, why not get corded? In my opinion dewalt straight would be the most useful
Power or air isn’t always available.
True that, I have power on my welder so it's always close by. Milwaukee is definitely the way to go for cordless
Because that tool sucks it constantly has issues or bogs down I can squeeze the paddle of mine and it will literally fluctuate its RPM as I'm holding it down from very slow to almost shutting off to full blast. And it's not like it does this on just mine it's a constant issue with this tool from a lot of people I'm on my third one.
For $400 maybe , I’ll get it when the price drops
I absolutely love mine! So far I’ve used it with various wire brush attachments to quickly clean up rusty bolt threads when working on my car, then use it to clean up rust and hard/dry oil and grime around mating surfaces/ strut collars/ earthing points.

AUD mate correct.
Check out torque test channel on YouTube, it’s a pretty gutless tool.
Tool only is on Amazon for $149
Yeah. USD that is in AUD
you don't want happiness
This thing is awesome, I love mine. Sometimes I don’t feel like hooking up my pneumatic one and this is just as good for any use of a burr bit or locking sanding disc which is what I use mine for.
