Bought my first Milwaukee tool last year, it was the M12 hatchet, been very impressed! As a self-employed gardener, who's not getting any younger, I wanted something to replace my loppers. The hatchet has proved to be excellent!!
I think the M12 Fuel oscillating tool is the one that has always come out on top when I need something nothing else can do. I probably use my M12 impact driver more, but I have other tools that can replace in driver in a pinch. When I need something plunge cut at a really weird angle, or something sanded at a strange angle, the oscillating tool does an amazing job that my other tools can't do.
Amen on the M12 surge. Had the M18, but got two stolen. Could only afford the M12. Best choice. All day and less fatigue. Had the M12 installer, but that was also stolen. Would buy that one also. But the surge is more versatile. Wish a trilight version came out Hope the new light weight rotary hammer comes out soon. Saving for that one.
I got the installation driver. Tired of rounding off the screws, needed something light. and it was on sale. Probably give it to my dad soon. His favorite Makita's impact he's been using has no settings, it's all variable speed. LOL
I buy M12 for its compact size and M18 for power. The hackzall is designed to be compact and 1 handed. M12 hackzall stroke is only 3/8 less than the M18, and paired with a 2.5 HO battery makes a huge difference in confined spaces. If accessibility isn't a factor, I'm reaching for the super sawzall.
I used the m12 non fuel tiny hackzall for moose bones and it worked great. I hear the fuel version has more power and uses less battery so it might be better. But I like it for compact travel hunting kits.

Now you can always add to your M12 tools since you have a battery and charger. Thank hatchet is handy. Thanks for watching!

That’s a good point. Same here, I have other impacts. Thanks for watching! 👍
Awesome. I got a deal on the M18 Hackzall ...Had to do it ! I like that M12 surge though !
That’s a good deal! Thanks for watching!

That’s good feedback. A trilight would be nice. Thanks for watching!

Installation driver is a great option. Thanks for watching!
Interesting that you pick the M12 saw over the si ilar M18… that kinda cnfused me
Both are great. The m12 is packed with power for its size. Comes down to the size you prefer/need. Thanks for the feedback.
U forgot the 3/8 rachet for automotive jobs is gold.
You’re right, need a top 10 list. Thanks for watching!
There is no wrong top 5. You pick what works for your needs. Those are the top
That’s true, thanks for watching!
Sir I can agree with you on the mid torque , m12 sawzal , m12 impact don’t own the others so I can not say
Thanks for watching!
M18 hackzall I would argue is better since the stroke is so short on the M12. Especially if used for wood
That's a good point, I had focused on blade length. Thanks for watching!

@@philipdove1705 That's a excellent example of a compact use. Thanks for Watching!
@@Cavett24 Thanks for the feedback! The Super Sawzall is nice!
I think the 15 gauge finish nailer is my favorite.
Thats a good choice! Thanks for watching!
I would probably swap the circular saw for the m12 fuel oscillating multi tool for my list.
I have that one too. That and the angle grinder would make it top seven. Thanks for watching!
Yes definitely one of there top tools.
Yes definitely! Thanks for commenting!
How is the chainsaw pruner? Soldering iron?? Top 5 m12 to stay clear of??
Good questions… need to talk M12
Link to rubber boot for the surge please I can’t find it online
You can order it here: www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-M12-FUEL-Impact-Driver-Protective-Boot-Boot-Only-49-16-2553/305901628
@@projectpinehills thank you! they are sold hopefully they will return soon
Yeah that’s crazy. Not sure why.
Hackzall I prefer m18
Thanks for sharing and watching!
12 volt hack zap honestly sucks compared to the m18
Ha well that’s wrong. I’ve cut a 500 gallon oil tank in half with it. It works great for its voltage and size. Thanks for watching!
