Ive compared them at tool shows, to me they feel lacking in balace compared to other kit on the market.

Ive got the cordless 110mm grinder and the cordless reciprocating saw for drainage work, very handy tools.

Yeah, I agree with MSH. I know a few lads using them, and I have the 18v impact driver/drill set. Good stuff, and up there with Dewalt and Makita imo. My Impact Driver is a bit on the bulky side compared to the Dewalt driver, so maybe thats a slight downside.
Milwaukee have been around for years on the quiet apparently, I know a lad that was using them 10yrs ago!
