yep. They make 12hd lith battery that cost more than the bare tool itself and weights like a 10lbs alone around $350
All Milwaukee FUEL tools are brushless.

First: Welcome to the forum from Oregon
We recommend that you put all your rig(s) info in your signature so we all don’t have to guess at year, make, model, engine size, trans, rear axle locker…….etc. Makes it way easier on all members that attempt to help, to have that info right up front. It is also recommended that you take a pic of your RPO codes, on the inside cover of the glove box, and post that image in your signature. All this info will greatly help those that will try to help with a problem.
If there is any other info, like upgrades, mods or recent mechanical/maintenance work done, that would be helpful in any post as well. Too many times a question is asked by the poster and after about 10 responses we find out that the poster has done recent work to attempt to fix the problem or work that was done that SEEMS not related to the problem.

Just bought a Milwaukee M18 hand held blower to clean my roofs off with and to slowly start my conversion from Porter Cable to Milwaukee.
Shocked how well this thing works! I purchased an XC8 battery with it and blew for 20 minutes non stop and only lost 1 bar of power.

The other day I was working on my Harley and was wanting to take off quick connect adapters for the old backrest and carrier assembly. The side struts for the rear fender have three attachments at each side. The middle adapter was held in place with an allen head fastener. I used a long 3/8" ratchet and a good strong Snap-On allen socket. I tried by hand force and I could just feel the female allen head starting to round out on the inside. I broke out the 3/8" new Milwaukee impact. Just a couple of quick burst of reverse and it rattled the threads just enough to break loose and unthread out with no further problems. The claims were right. I could feel the torque, set at max power setting, and do believe that this same tool can be used to remove lug nuts as I have seen in you tube videos. So far I am sold on these Milwaukee tools I bought.
My air compressor was just sitting there sniveling about me not caring as much any more.

I have found many scenarios where I'm starting to strip our round out a fastener with hand tools. Grab an impact gun and really put some down/force on it boom comes right out!
My air compressor is reserved for tire inflation and leak down tests now. R.I.P. little buddy lol.

Yes, my leak down equipment will need my compressor. It is also very handy for tire inflation and blowing off/cleaning surfaces while working on the rig. Does a pretty great job of blowing out radiators and other coolers up front that get crap in them while driving.

Its funny because when I was planning my dream garage 5 or 6 years ago I had drawn a small block room in the back corner to house a giant air compressor and drop down hoses from the ceiling. Now I have a dedicated work bench to charging cordless tools and remembering which batteries are charged and which are dead.
