Milwaukee's newest 18 volt, 9.0 Ah battery has certainly been the topic of conversation at the tool trailer.
As tool users as well as tool tester and reviewers, this battery is a pretty exciting step toward a full cordless replacement for high demand tools.
Now you can use tools
like the hole-hawg, a SDS drills or the new M18 miter saw and achieve the power needed and a higher run-time.
A lot of tool companies are working toward the goal of a cordless replacement. Some companies want you to buy a new platform of tools, others want you to pair up two batteries. Milwaukee is dedicated to serving their 100+ tool platform by focusing on making one battery that is fully compatible with the M18 platform.
What
will they think of next?

Milwaukee M18 RADIUS LED Compact Site Light 2145-20
Let’s talk lumens. This Site Light puts off 4400 lumens of light when set on high, that's pretty enlightening!
It's also bright enough to work with, and to provide serious general lighting in large work-spaces.
The
Milwaukee M18 RADIUS LED Compact Site Light is designed as a general light and I envision this as a viable replacement for string lighting or temporary work lighting. The light provides 360 degrees of area light, overhead light or it can also be adjusted for 180 degrees or task lighting.
Before you turn up your nose at all this new technology do yourself a huge favor and read through this entire article.
Trust me when I say this technology, and future iterations of it both at Milwaukee and other Brands, will change the way you run your business.
For me as a general contractor who oversees crews and manages large construction projects, I need my
crews to be productive, efficient, and good. Quality control is a huge deal and any tool that can make my guys faster and eliminate quality control issues has my attention.
I believe the ONE-KEY™ platforms Tool Control gets us very close to that goal.
The Fastback Compact Flip Utility Knife was designed to keep all the core features that people have come to love about the Fastback but in a smaller, lighter form factor.
It still tucks into the pocket, still deploys quickly, and it is still easy to change out the blade.
