\"\"Amazon’s\u00a060% off Milwaukee sale<\/a> has a lot of tempting prices on it.<\/p>\n

I’ve been on the lookout for a lightweight driver and this Milwaukee 12v kit<\/a> is a perfect fit. Bosch\u00a0has an almost\u00a0identical drill<\/a> (and Rigid,\u00a0it appears<\/a>), which I used quite a bit while filming Rock and Roll Acid Test. I was skeptical about the small size, but the lithium ion battery actually pushes quite a bit of power and did a great job on some big builds. Too bad we weren’t able to keep those tools when we finished filming. The Bosch stuff is great.<\/p>\n

List price $249, on sale for $99 – that’s a 60% discount. I’m down with that!<\/p>\n

There’s a 3\/8″ chucked version<\/a> for $30 more if you don’t have\/want the quick-release bits.<\/p>\n

Here’s another way to save a bunch on cordless tools: buy the battery-less models of the same brand you already own. If you’re a Makita person, or DeWalt or whatever, search for “bare tool<\/a>” and find the tools that you can pop your battery onto. Try to make sure they’ll fit \u2013 more and more manufacturers have made universal batteries for their tool lines, but it’s not always the case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
