    I LOVE this tool. The skinny batteries give i better clearance than anything else. That's what matters to me. It's THE tool that fits for drilling out broken studs on a hemi engine. It's also great for when I need to get the wire wheel or other cleaning discs into hard to reach areas. I just used it for cleaning up the engine block surface gor a water pump on a 4.7l dodge v8, and I use it in many other places. Yeah, it's slow, but it is a fantastic tool in an engine bay. It's the tool I thought I would use for 1 job, but I use it way more often than I ever thought.

    I would never chose this tool for drilling a house rough in , however, it is absolutely awesome for automotive underdash work.I did high end car audio for decades. I replaced my old school makita 9.6 volt ( which was the only game in town 30 years ago) stick battery with this tool. Super compact and more than enough balls for anything 7.8, 10 mm.

    I have that lovely tool (he said with a eye roll). I got it with a deal and two batteries so the tool only cost $40ish. That still was a wast of money. Best thing I have used it for is when my nephews come over. I let them just put screws in random boards and don’t have to worry about them breaking a good tool! Liking the channel keep it up!!

    Thanks for the heads up. I was about to buy one since I’m trying to consolidate into m12s. I have too many different chargers and too many different batteries. I see now that consolidating is a hopeless endeavor. Even Milwaukee makes junk. I have several cheep tools that have surprised me at their quality and usefulness and each has their own system that doesn’t fit anything else.. I guess I’ll have to contend with the growing assortment of chargers and batteries since those adapters add way to much bulk and they don’t make them for the off brands.

    • @BitnerBuilt
      @BitnerBuilt  Рік тому

      Well I would say they are a great brand but yea not everything’s a home run, I like the idea of running a pricer and cheaper platform, keeping it to two batteries, like a Milwaukee and ryobi. Your one off tools you can buy the cheaper and heavy use in the premium. And considering the ryobi makes the best right angle… 👍

    I somewhat agree with you on the M12 right Angle. Somewhat is that for when I used it it worked. I bought it as part of a Set of tools when I purchased it must have been 6 years or more ago. My use was a tight spot, previously I used my corded close quarter Milwaukee Drill. For Big Stuff like joist drilling I use my HD Milwaukee Right Angle corded. Things I did and did not like about the M12 Right Angle. Like the chuck for holding shorter bits, overall it fit in very tight spots. Dislike the Fwd/Reverse Switch, the speed selector switch and the overall power. For the times I have used it, it works. It most likely will go to my tool self as I unpack tools to store and not in one of my drill bags. Most of those are done now by the M12 Installation Tool which is great.

    I got one for the specific purpose of agitating vehicle carpeting using 1/4" brush bits. It even sucks at that because the trigger is too close to the center of rotation. It needs to be further out to maximize leverage.

      You're scrubbing carpets, I'm pretty sure you can use 2 hands. No matter what tool you are using, you are going to want to apply downforce. I have also used it for that purpose, it works great. You don't want big RPMs.

    as a _Professional_ automotive accessory fitter, this will be perfect for putting holes on the inside of plastic centre-console boxes, and otehr really tight spaces when making hidden-installs of Citizen-band radio units that have all the controls on the handset.. currently i struggle to fit my m12 hammer drill in some small spaces, and it wont fit in some consoles at all and i have to drill at an angle.
    as for specs : the only thing i would not use that on is steel - if i had a choice, i still would if it was my only option, i'd just go slower and more gently.
    additionally, as i already have a host of M12 batteries, this is the only sensible choice.

    • @BitnerBuilt
      @BitnerBuilt  9 місяців тому

      Well, the big point that I made in the video was that it’s a professional tool form factor (your a pro) but I was disappointed in it, having the worst specs for that tools form factor on the entire market. Obviously, if you’re locked into the Milwaukee m12 platform only then it’s your only choice for the form factor. But as a big fan of Milwaukee, I was very disappointed as I expect more from the brand on a professional form factor tool.

      not all pros have the same user requirements, luckily Milwaukee offers a range of these - 12/18v. perhaps your user-case scenario would be more suited to the other tool? and if so, that doesnt make the M12 version a "Bad Tool", it makes it "the wrong tool for you"

      @BitnerBuilt  2 місяці тому

      Honestly, for me, every time I touched it I was like ugh weak. Kinda like if you buy one of those cheapo small parts screw drivers that turn crazy slow, I mean, if you read the feedback here there are people who like it, so just know going in that it’s very low power. Perhaps if you’re mindset is in that direction then you won’t dislike it as much as I did another thing that personally got me is I really do like Milwaukee tools. It’s the brand that I go to and they are overall expensive, so I hold them to a higher standard then if I picked up a cheap tool at harbor freight for example. I expect it to perform better.

    Yeah, adaptors are the best. I wonder why people don't never menton them on many tool review channels.
    Electrically, adapters are just metal contacts. And all the tools are literally the same 20V tools which settles down at 18V in action, or 5 3.7V batteries in series. You should be using adaptors and keep an eye on good adaptors instead of saying investing onto other platform is risky.
    Also, those right angle drills seem to be a bit niche market now. Even DeWalt dont have brushless ones on the market... while they are pushing brushless drills and other tools... Ryobi happened to be using brushless motor to those niche drills. But then again I saw a lot of professionals near my location carry those dreaded lime green HP tools. So, they are not that bad.😊

    • @BitnerBuilt
      @BitnerBuilt  3 місяці тому

      On the adaptor you do run the risk of bricking your batteries it’s happened to me now on one of my makitas. The two contacts just act as a power passthrough but it lacks the data prong where the battery and the tool can communicate about overheating and over discharge. Tools never actually fully deplete the battery they usually leave 5-10% because fully depleting can brick it as happened with the Makita I have I was using on a inverter adaptor to run my drill press lift table.

    I don't have one. But... Did you buy this tool expecting to build decks or drill concrete? It appears to be a light duty, short angle, quick out drill/driver. Not an impact tool. Probably made for form factor. Buy a surge if you have the room to carry it. IMO adapters are for emergencies or transitions.
