Just wondering if anyone has seen any reviews out there for Milwaukees Cordless 15mm or 21mm DA`s that are coming out?
Not a tool I need, but curious how it compares to other offerings out there.

I had a conversation with someone who worked with the prototypes in a shop environment. He seemed to really like them.
”I’ll always want to have a rupes machine around. Nothing beats that in the market right now. But for $350 you can’t beat the convenience of a strong battery powered machine. It’s supplementary to a rupes corded machine but not better. But a lot of people can be plenty happy with this Milwaukee polisher as a standalone machine. Especially diy guys. And for detailers at a shop, it’s nice to pick up a machine really quick and not have to plug in.“
Thanks for sharing.
I`m strictly recreational, hence it`s not a tool I need. I`ve got a Griot`s G9 and G8 that work just fine for me, and honestly I don`t even use them enough to justify considering another machine. But, I`ve long contemplated a longer throw tool, and cordless would always be nice.
The other thing that`s made me actually consider getting one is that I could buy it from a tool vendor at work who`s a great guy, but considering I`ve been wrenching for 20+ years my new tool purchases have pretty well tapered off - I don`t have a lot I need to buy from him. This could be one of those good-will-help-support-the-little-guy kinda purchases.
Been curious how the Milwaukee stacks up against the Flex, Dewalt, etc. Big perk for adding a Milwaukee to my collection would be the ability to use those batteries on other tools I own.
I`ve got a boatload of tools.....mostly M18. Even SDSPlus M18 hammer drills that let my German Metabos and Hilti`s gather dust..
However, convenience aside, I dunno if the battery polisher is in the works when using it to --polish paint--. I suppose it would okay on vertical panels but horizontal with a back heavy battery.....
On the flip side, I love cordless tool. M18 angle grinder has let me use in in 50 different directions/applications, I would never hold the tool in use with a corded.
The balance of the Milwaukee is supposedly very natural unlike the Flex.
If you already in the line and have a few M18 batteries you gotta get it.
I see what happened here Flex dropped there whole new tool line and pissed off the big red now Milwaukee is going to expand into Flex’s bread and butter!!
I agree. The tool only option isn’t too expensive.Quote:

If you have a DeWalt, you can save money by buying Waitley batteries on Amazon. They might run a couple minutes shorter time but the price is about half of a Dewalt battery.
Thanks for that info!!Quote:
