Im looking for a Milwaukee combination set, M12 Drill/Driver and Impact driver, twin batteries & charger set. I hoped there would be some competitive activity on pricing but all the suppliers seem to be within a fiver of same price. No discounts, voucher codes etc to be had anywhere
There was a 15% off voucher with FFX recently, via EBay. Not sure if it included the model you’re after but there was some Milwaukee stuff.
Maybe worth looking out for one of those?
I bought a Milwaukee M12 3/8 angled driver for the workshop, and, to be honest I'm not at all impressed with the torque it's able to generate.
Anything over 40 lb/ft and it stalls, requiring me to break the nut by hand.
Are you confident that the 12v tools will be sufficient for what you need ?
Maybe the Fuel range would have been better for workshop use, but I'm disappointed with the single Milwaukee tool we have so far.
In comparison, we have a DeWalt 899 18v impact gun, which is an absolute beast.

Screwfix normally have good deals on Milwaukee. Love my stuff.
The difference in torque between 12v and 18v impact drill drivers is vast: even on like-for-like batteries, let alone when you employ bigger Ah capacities.

Ignorance breeds Fear. Fear breeds Hatred. Hatred breeds Ignorance. Break the chain.
Mmm are you sure about that? There’s quite a few videos on YouTube showing the same tool with a 2ah battery producing more torque with a 5ah battery.

I’ve bought quite a few bits from https://www.bigredpowertools.co.uk/, and 90% of the time they are the cheapest in the UK
I’ve got a fair few M12 tools, and they are more than powerful enough if you go with the modern fuel brushless models.
Friend a mine who is/was a mechanic was impressed by the torque of my 1/2” M12 stubby impact,, it’ll shift bolts you wouldnt think a puny 12v can handle, plus it gets into tight spaces and is less tiring to use.
Nothing like having 340Nm (250 ft.-lbs.) of torque on tap when you have a stubborn bracelet screw.

It’s this set I’m looking at https://www.sgs-engineering.com/milw...arger-and-case
