I love cordless ratchets. Have a 1/4 and 3/8 M12 and sold my air ones the other day. Never used them anyways because the hose was a PITA.
Traded my 17" green locking flex 88 for a 24" of the same and traded my 24" breaker bar for the 30" orange.

Too much milwaukee. Had to get a new M12 fuel impact because I lost my other one. Also got an M12 non impact driver. Love that thing for running in stuff you don't want an impact on. Just put together an entire LMM from block to complete with it and the battery still shows two bars.
Got some new socket trays and a few other toys...
You know you can make money with those things? There not just for looking shiny and purtty in that box...
Haha yea I use em!! I just take care of them!! Paid to much to abuse em and put em up dirty!! Thats a big pet peeve of mine... Putting oily, greasey tools back in my tool box!!
that was what $2k worth of tools there? I havent bought anything new lately, trying to pay down on some of my tool accounts before I buy more. Ive spent to much on tools lately
I got about $800 in the 3/4 torque wrench, bout $300ish in the 3/4 ratchet, bout $350 in the cordless ratchet and i also traded in my old 3/8 cordless impact for the new lith version.

I got a couple of those milwaukee and I absolutely love them. One of the best purchases I ever made. They have made my job so much easier they have paid for themselves at least 10x over.
A guy i work with has a few of those milwuakee cordless tools. Ive never usd them cause i have my own cordless stuff but ive never heard him complain about them
The Milwaukee M12 3/8 drive ratchet is the best battery power tool i have ever bought. its my favorite for tearing apart 6.0 powerstrokes
Just got the USB charger today. Use an M12 battery in it and charge phone, etc. Also has a DC power jack. I can always find USB cables but can never find the 12v or wall ends of them, plus a wall charger isn't always an option. Should come in handy once and awhile. Especially on trips where a charger isnt available or convienient. Like a plane. I actually looked up the TSA guidelines. There is no limit on batteries under 8 grams of ELC (Equivelant Lithium Content). The M12 2.0 has 1.8g, M12 4.0 has 3.6g. The extra's you carry just have to be protected from accidental activation. Although I will say that its more of cheap option to utilize batteries I already have. If you were needing something on a regular basis just for a phone or something I wouldn't run out an buy an M12 battery and this thing, far more compact solutions to that problem.
Picked up a nicer heat gun with some accessories. Probably overkill, but so are many tools.
And got another Metabo grinder for the shop. WA 11-125 Quick. 5" with autobalancer but still the lock on switch. A lot of them in the US have the paddle switch which I do not like at all. Would've gotten the W14-125 Plus but figured I'd see what the autobalancer was all about, didn't need the variable speed really just wanted the power.
Black ring is the balancer. I put brand new Metabo 4.5" grinding wheels in both the W8 and the WA11 and the vibration difference was noticeably better with the balancer. They are smooth without one to begin with. I'm sure worn wheels or different brands will make it even more noticeable. The power difference was nice. W8 does great compared to other 4.5 grinders, but you can still run out of power with 4.5 wheels, the W11 gives you the right amout but I wouldn't complain if I had a W14 either.
Right at home with the rest.
