If it's the ONE then you can customise the settings . That break away speed control is great!

I dont think its the one, I dont have time nor do i want to be messing about with my phone and apps trying to control tools! there is only me and MY tools! I can see where it would be great though.
Worth checking the serial number.
Milwaulkee "updated" the gun and it was a disaster basically. They have gone back to the old design.
I believe they have offered to replace all the new guns with the old model under warranty.
I'd love a Hi Torque but don't have enough jobs to justify buying one, my old Snap-on 18v is still going well enough for now!.

Its handy for tight spots that is for sure, no where near the torque busting capacity of the impact gun, I wish I had gone for the 3/8 version sometimes rather than the 1/2"

I've been using one at work now for 5 months to un-do hundreds of m20 bolts after asking about them here. They are damn handy and quite robust. They don't have the break-away torque of the bigger machines (obviously) but even so are quite impressive. Couldn't do without it.

^^ what he said.
If you need one then they’re just the job.
I researched it quite a bit before buying mine and I think the physical size is the same between 1/2” and 3/8”. It’s only the anvil that’s different

I love my M12 impact gun that gets used all the time on the pick up under the bonnet
My M12 short 1/4 rachet is my go to at work. Use it every day.
Die grinder is very handy!.
Got most of my M12 kit at home (cutt-off tool, another straight and angled die grinders, combi drill, another 3/8 impact gun, LED tripod light etc), not had a bad tool yet.

Is that a die grinder or their dremel tool? I’ve the 90 die grinder but could do with the straight one. The m18 straight is supposed to be an animal
It's the Die Grinder (not the tyre buffer).
I use a collet adapter to use Dremel stuff (Speedclic diamond cutoff disks mainly) on the 6mm collet.
Same with the 8mm collet, if you have Snap-on carbide die grinder bits you need an adapter sleeve.
Great bit of kit.

Let me know if you’re wanting the straight. I bought both and only used the straight one a couple of times.
I have the M12 Dremmel tool too and it’s definitely worth having. Surprising how much easier and versatile it is without a cord.

The M12 stubby in 1/2 inch is my most used torque gun. I bought the extended reach ratchet after struggling with reach on a job but not used it since. Prefer the new fast ratchet even though I have to climb over things to get the same reach.

I have not used my M12 long reach ratchet yet, forgot I had it when I needed it the other day!
The M18 straight die grinder is a animal I love it but it is quite big and bulky, when I have lots to do I reach for the air one in the workshop. The cordless is handy when air aint at hand though.

I love my long reach 3/8" ratchet, and I'm tempted to get the 1/4" version as well just because the head is that bit smaller for tighter corners.
For smaller vehicles, the M12 1/2" gun is my go to.
For bigger stuff I'll use the M18 mid-torque gun, and if that doesn't work, I'll get out the old air gun.
I personally don't like the high-torque gun for general use, as I find it's just that bit heavy to be continually lifting.
