Great blower – Powerful light blower with 3 speed setting. Also can lock the trigger so no tired fingers. Show details
Bad batts – Great blower, I’ve always used Milwaukee, not really happy with the amount of my batteries that have stopped, don’t charge ect.
Great tool with room of improvement – Had my chain for at least couple of years. Cuts great and beats the noise of conventional chainsaws. You can easily view oil level. Issues I found… Read more
with the chain bar were when cutting close to the tip of the bar, the chain may go into the bar opening a gap. This happened twice. Milwaukee’s warranty is great, however, the bar quality can be improved. I was wondering if I had the chain too tight, but hard to imagine this would happen twice. Never experienced this with other conventional saws. The chain saw RPM is on the low side compared to others. Aside from that, as usual with Milwaukee products, great product.
Great tool for in the car, and around the house – Easy to use, handles large tyres and small soccer balls with ease. tested the gauge pressure against and calibrated gauge and it is spot on. Makes… Read more
such a laborious task much more pleasant and even my 3 year old can figure out. Take it in the Car for the 4x4 when camping
Milwaukee M18 2730-20
Rubbish don't buy – Breaks down constantly , now going in to be 'fixed' for the forth time . Haven't been able to use it for 6 months now . Milwaukee and Total Tools customer service is non existent . You have been warned .
Warranty doesn't live up to standard – This product stopped working during warranty period. Took back to Total Tools and was advised at least 8 weeks to have someone look at it. I said I… Read more
needed to use it that weekend. Their advice buy another one. Asked about discount -:answer "no." Had a Ryobi sander stop during warranty. Took back to Bunnings and they replaced it on the spot.
Did not even last one year – Stopped working after just over 8 months of use and I could not get it repaired under warranty because I purchased it on fb marketplace however, it… Read more
was BRAND NEW, untouched and still in a box when I got it off the seller. Granted I was using it for an average of about 3 hours, five days a week is heavy usage but its marketed as a heavy duty tool for tradesmen and everyone keeps talking about the apparent reliability of Milwaukee tools so I thought it would be a safe purchase. But nope, the hype about Milwaukee is fake and honestly, I would have been better off just buying Ryobi drill from Bunnings as I personally never had issues with my current Ryobi grinder which has lasted me years instead of this junk.
Milwaukee impact driver It was top of line Lasted three weeks Milwaukee tools are crap these days The older tools lasted a lot longer They must be… Read more
getting all their parts from China Charging us the top dollar Now I have to wait to get it fixed It’s lucky I bought 2 of them I hope it lasts till the other one gets fixed
Good for light jobs but no serious tree cutting. The worst feature is the fact that when the job is complete if you do not drain the chain… Read more
lubricating oil out it will over time leak out leaving a puddle of oil to clean up. Even depressurising the tank does not prevent this.
Milwaukee AGV 15-125 XE – This is a variable speed grinder. Great for delicate or heavy work. The speed for me is great. High Watts you have to be careful they don't spin to… Read more
fast. 11000 rpm is perfect down to a minimum of 2800. It is simply one of the best 125mm grinder out there. I love the snap lock guards. Adjustable in seconds. Length is important to. Don't want them to long that they restrict access. And cutter head height is nice and low for access.. Power is great at 1550 Watts. A market leader. Money well spent for a premium product.
A brilliant 5kg rotary and demolition hammer. Milwaukee Kanga 540s – The Kanga 540S, 1100 watt, 7.5j, 5kg class hammer is now superseded. I bought mine about 2 years ago as a last of stock offer. As an SDS MAX hammer … Read more
It has proven to be excellent, it is the only Milwaukee tool I own, as a corded unit I’m not dependent upon batteries. It was great value at the end of line slow sale, and although at the time I didn’t have a particular need for it the value and performance of the unit was outstanding
As the only SDS MAX Rotary hammer I have it has proven to be invaluable. Easily able to drill into rock hard concrete with drill bits up to 32 mm which is the biggest I’ve needed to use, I have a preference for 4 cutter carbide tipped bits by Bosch and Milwaukee which have proven to be outstandingly efficient at what they do. I also have a range of additional max bits, shovels breakers chisels etc and this unit handles them all with ease. The unit wires around 6 kg plus The drill bit, and while at times after hours on and off of work it may get a little heavy as I am not a big fellow, The heavy duty punch this unit can deliver is well above its weight burden and therefore provides an outstanding weight versus delivery impact benefit.
The unit has proved to be reliable, comfortable has good vibration absorption and is safe to handle, as it is fitted with the usual up-to-date safety features.
While the unit has now been superseded by the 545 S, which in my opinion would just continue the high quality of the 540S, with just a bit more power and a bit more capacity, I believe any purchaser of this unit would be well impressed.
I have a number of Bosch corded SDS plus hammer drills which include the Bosch GBH 4 – 32 DFR, which has been my go to unit for many years when extra heavy duty was needed, the 540 S provided me a further step up in power and a step up in drill bit fitment e.g. SDS MAX, and I have found that generally the quality and reliability that I treasure in my Bosch SDS plus units has been mirrored by the 540S And I have been very impressed with its capacity and Robust design, And for me that’s a real compliment to it. I did get the unit at a very much reduced price however I feel after some period of ownership and use It would be good value even at its retail price which at the time would’ve been in the region of $840. So well done 540 S.
Good but missing the "solid build" factor you'd expect from Milwaukee – Overall the Rotary Tool is ok and works well. My only negative comment is the build quality isn't what I would expect from Milwaukee. The big thing… Read more
I notice is when using some attachments the Rotary Tool gets an annoying vibration. For example when I use the supplied Milwaukee cutting discs the tool gets a resonance or vibration at certain speeds. Feels like the tool will vibrate apart. I took the tool into Total Tools where I bought it from and they said this is normal. I've used a Dremel rotary tool and a cheap Dick Smith brand and they didn't vibrate at all. So I would say it is not normal. Also, there is a fair bit of play in the shaft, I can wriggle the shaft side to side, almost like there is a piece missing or like I said the build quality and design is missing something. Pretty annoying for a Milwaukee product to be honest.
Apart from that the tool is fine, I'm glad I went with a battery powered tool instead of a corded tool. Having it cordless is very handy. I bought the tool around 2019 and it is still going strong.
Who needs petrol! – I have had the line trimmer for over a year now, and have been impressed with it's run time and performance. We have an 800sq block with a lot of… Read more
lawn, and the product hasn't let me down yet. I use the 9ah batteries in it, and get roughly 45 minutes of continuous use before running the battery down. My only gripe is the included guard is very large and heavy. I notice they have since changed this, so I have ordered the new smaller version of the guard.
This is nice small and light tool that with the correct bit is able to drive in almost all fasteners. It is my go to tool because it is relatively… Read more
light and also compact enough to fit into most tight spaces. The variable speed trigger is responsive and a choice of top speeds can be selected.
Downside - I find the belt clip to be too tight to be able to use it as a belt clip - I just cannot get it on the belt (or pocket).
I actually own a second tool of the same model which stopped working. It was sent for repair and when it came back the work light was not working so had to be sent off again. About six weeks before the full working tool was back in my possession. Apart from paying $50, the tool was repaired as a warranty repair.
Good for light pruning up to 50mm diameter maximum. Two annoying features: The bottom of the hatchet is not flat so you cannot stand it up, most… Read more
likely will fall over. If you do not empty the lubricating oil tank after use it will leak out all over your bench. Depressurising the tank does not stop this.
Painful to hold and heavy – I’m a big fan of Milwaukee and all of my experiences with my other Milwaukee tools, but not the random orbital sander. It’s very heavy and… Read more
uncomfortable to use. If you’re using it for more than a few minutes it’s becomes quite painful to hold. The dust catcher that is attached also randomly opens itself and sawdust goes everywhere. A few design changes could go a long way!
Rubbish!! – I purchased a set of Milwaukee Shockwave impact drills. These bits are extremely brittle and break easily while drilling 2.5 & 3mm mild steel. I'm a… Read more
60yo builder! so, yeah I've drilled a few holes in my day:) Kit was replaced under warranty. I declined and will not be using Milwaukee drills again. I hope Milwaukee recall ALL these kits!!!!!
Milwaukee Cobolt drill fail, big time – Bought a new set of 19 Milwaukee drills, only used the 3mm as pilot and 10mm drilling so far, mostly on 1mm aluminium -30 holes and some 2.5mm mild… Read more
steel -15 holes. Didn't last as long as my Sutton hss drills that I've been using for years. Milwaukee Cobolt drills an absolute waste of money, I'm going to try another brand. I'll report back.
