I'm all Milwaukee on my Cordless Tools. 90 percent M18 and the only M12 I has is the Propex and Adhesive Gun....


Thinking about adding a Cordless MM to the stash.

Let me hear it for those familar.
Thoughts on the M18 and or the Fein. Not sure I would want a Fein just because batteries would just be like buying Hilti batteries ;-/

How is the balance of ~said tools~.
I can only imagine not so great when trying to make precision cuts just due to battery weight ?

I have had corded Fein, corded bosch, 18v Makita, 12v Milwaukee, and 18v Milwaukee.
Corded Fein, 18v Makita and 12v Milwaukee are all dead. 18v Milwaukee still doing well. Corded bosch almost looks new, as it sees little use.
Both Milwaukees are well balanced and easy to use. I do wish the blade change mechanisms were similar to the bosch system.

I have a Makita 18volt version and an M12 version. The M12 version tends to get used far more as in 85% of the time. The light weight is worth everything, but it does lack a little power if trying to cut thru say 2x4's. The M12 fits inside a 2x4' wall thru a small cutout! For drywall and such the M12 rocks! The smaller batteries work for me but they do get tore up fairly quickly. Good thing a charger is usually nearby, and I have plenty of batteries. My 4.0amp battery seems to live under the M12 light.

Makita vs Fien...I would buy the Fien. M18 vs Fien...I would buy the Fien. Although the grass is always greener.
