I think i have officially gone soft, Yes another Milwaukee thread

[H20 Toie]

So the little packout vacuum is pretty cool and works great but also small,
I know everyone makes fun of the new generation and how dam soft the are, heaven forbid they work an entire day etc, anyway back to the vacuum, it was time to get a real one and look at that Milwaukee makes a few versions, nice sale going on this week so how could i pass up on a good deal,
order it and oh look you can get bags to go inside the vacuum so the vacuum doesn't get dirty ( ok it does help the filter life also) but i wanted just so the vacuum stays cleaner, WTF Trust me i see the irony of this, but i don't care. well maybe a little,

Dude, stop, my wallet can't take you!

 

[Melloyellovector]

At least when your ready for another boat you can sell all your red tools to cover the cost

It's almost intervention time....

Not this time. Next boat is going to be waaaayy cheaper than that 42X was.
Hell all the money i have in these tools wouldn't even cover the cost of one of the trips with that boat.
Next Cig is going to have 525's. top speed of 85, run on regular gas, Granted it will still be a money pit i'm sure, but i least ill have tools to do some of the work myself.

See saving money

It's almost intervention time....

Ha wait until my new little workshop is finished, going to be sweet. not very big but should be cool.

So far so good, really powerful, hose is bitchin, 12ah battery lasted a long time on high, but that was my first time using it, see how it does over the next few weeks.

 

[Nordie]

I love using the bags for saw dust/dust collection. If you don't use them the filter plugs up in a hurry.

 

[Romans9]

Yes you’ve gone soft but I think another tool purchase or twenty should help….

Tools and guns are investments not just a purchase.

Can never have too many of either.

I'm not sure if the Milwaukee guys are seeing this, but I'd say their sponsorship for Super Cat Fest has paid itself off in spades already.. LOL

Milwaukee PACKOUT Compact Debris Separator

[LazyLavey]

Milwaukee is coming out with (or already has) a new battery... some super battery and new charger which will charge in 15 minutes... Supposedly that's why they have this deal where they give batteries with some tools....... to purge the old batteries

 

[H20 Toie]

Well the debris separator is out, thing works awesome, don't notice any difference in suction, and easy to hook up to either vacuum, now the bags and the filter should last forever, win

What does the debris sept do?

My Google is broken….

Asking for a friend ….

LoL

 

[H20 Toie]

Instead of what ever you vacuum going into the container where the filter is it is trapped in the first container. that way nothing gets on the filter and plugs it up, Its like having a new clean filter all the time, ( becuase you do)

 

[lbhsbz]

I’ve got dust deputy separators upstream of the dust collectors on all my blast cabinets….they work awesome. I used to clean the filters after about 2 hours of blasting, now it’s months.
