All are bought from Amazon and ebay. m12 and m18 batteries have been standardized over the years. You can use the same old battery with any new tool. They generally worked well. No complains. I haven't pushed them to the limit, so they are all still in good working condition. I have a 115 -230Vac transformer, so I just use their 115Vac charger on this. Unlike deWalt, I get screwed when I buy the 18V system, then they suka suka switch to 20V. The new batteries cannot fit the old tool. Milwaukee has probably the largest range of tools. If you buy into their system, you're "safe" Example, I wanted to get a ratchet, deWalt don't have, only Milwaukee, and later on Makita have. However, if you use a hex/impact driver, the local/Japanese variant bits have a longer shank 3/8". Only Makita will fit. The rest all use 1/4" length. So that's one up for Makita, it can take both types of driver bits. Hey bro kb27 for 230Vac to 110Vac transformer that power the M12 M18 charger, can I use those adaptor type step down transformer? how many watt is that charger?

My Milwaukee charger input is 120Vac, 2.1A per the label. That's approximately 252W (max) I don't think you can use the travel adapter style of converter with 45W. It has not enough power and is likely to burn up. My transformer is rated 1kW. I think min. must get 500W. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnahp Supercharged November 15, 2021 Share November 15, 2021 @Kb27 thanks kb, I just found the model of the charger in the set that I am planning to buy, it's 48-59-1812 rated at 120vac 2.1A too 500W sounds right 👌 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will certainly be natively suited for SG voltages 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easier and safer to just buy a 230v charger from Aliexpress. Not expensive. Maybe buy some extra batteries too. And to add, prices in Malaysia for Milwaukee are good (got mine from there) if can tahan till border reopens, can buy from there. Just search Lelong.my for a feel.

You may buy 12V systems in future (esp useful for screw-driver tasks) And how do you plan to keep your batteries in constant use? If never use for year, it will deteriorate very fast. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm using it regularly, since I have both M12 and M18 batteries. So it takes up less space than individual charger. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But most likely, you would need an extension cord to drag around. Many places around your home would probably not have a power point nearby where you need to drill a hole. The other "problem" is that we don't live in a wooden house like USA. For them, it's easy to drill a hole in the wood and put up something or even cut a hole through a stud to fix a bracket, etc. For us mostly, we live in a concrete apartment and when you want to make a small hole to hang something, it's usually much tougher.

Agreed. Have a almost useless 350...always had to borrow a 650 from my brother for the masonry work...tried with the 350 and I'd get burning smell from the motor...😅 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
