Yet another Milwaukee power tool

[OldCarGuy]

I just purchased a Milwaukee Insider extended ratchet. That's makes my 46th Milwaukee power tool. Every time I figured I pushed the boundary of my collection, I must have more than enough by now!   I'm facing another got-to-have.. I have a 3/8" and 1/4" ratchets already. But the Insider has a far longer reach, smaller head design, and half again more torque. The 3050-20 comes with a set of 30 metric socket from 8mm to 21mm. Plus a 1/4" and 3/8" ratchet adapters anvils and 1/4" hex. Making it possible to use any sockets or hex bits..

Extremely nice ratchet!  I doubt that you'll use the other 2 after this.  I'll have to get one.

WOW, that's a lot of Milwaukee!

Once again my obsessive gene takes charge..

My compulsion of Milwaukee Tools strikes again.

I added the SAE socket set along with a 1/2" anvil for my new Insider Extended Reach Ratchet. Most of my cars do not have Metric fasteners, and are 100% SAE. The Insider Ratchet comes with the Metric Sockets along with a 1/4" & 3/8" anvil. Then why not purchase the 1/2" anvil. Making it possible to use most any sockets.





The OEM sockets overall thickness compared to a standard socket.





Shouldn't everyone own a small 120 volt inverter? Milwaukee 175 watt inverter that runs off a M18 battery


Mounted on 8.0AH battery


This M12 5.0 AH battery came was in the combo offering with the Insider Ratchet...


My Milwaukee hedge trimmer, chainsaw, leaf blower, and larger 1/2" impact wrench will run better  & longer with the larger batteries. I took advantage of the Home Depot special combo pricing of the Forge The Forge M18 12.0 AH and M158 8.0 batteries. The combo was less than the 12.0 list price...





One needs to be careful purchasing power tools and their batteries like Dewalt & Milwaukee. There are many counterfeits products on the market. First glance they may look like the real deal. But they are far from it. Only deal with authorized dealers like Home Depot or Acme tools. You'll find a list on Milwaukee's website. A few years ago at least the seller would say "made for Milwaukee." Now they don't. And seller's come up with misleading names like "Genuine Discount Tools!"  Steer clear of Ebay & Amazon seller offering tools or batteries at a low price...

Do a search to tell a fake product...

I purchased two clips to mount the new 3/8" & 1/2" anvils.. They are the last two on the right side of the rail. I found then on FleaBay that were somewhat pricey. But would take me too much time to duplicate.. There's a slight difference between the knock-off and OEM's. However Milwaukee doesn't sell them separately. And they work just as well...


I placed both the Insider SAE & Metric Socket sets on 2" aluminum angle behind the tools.

Very nice collection and most likely the best bang for the buck in your busy shop.

My Milwaukee Tool Acquisition Syndrome strikes once again...

My M18 Power Blower arrived today. Now I have over 4 dozen Milwaukee power tools, not including the 20 batteries and hand tools. Do I really need it? I run my central air compressor 24 hours a day, seven days a week. And have over a dozen air hoses throughout all my garages. Needless to say, I thought it would be a delightful addition to my collection.



Comes with three nozzles and a magnetic holder. That I mounted on the metal cabinet below the tool. While I was at it, I mounted the 120 Volt inverter there..

That is quite an assortment of Milwaukee  cordless there! I don't recall ever seeing that large an assortment outside of a store!
