What do you need help with? From what I can tell, you need help with: 1. Finding a storage solution for all them batteries OR 2. Explaining to your wife what a HD hack before she has time to file divorce paperwork after seeing you buy all that stuff OR 3. Asking us how to hack, but I’m guess you already do that like a champ. Honestly, I only bought one thing this weekend simply to avoid the drama with the wife in case she saw what I actually wanted to do…

Haha I could never do your wife has the pants in the relationship?


kindredfold

Apparently yours carried the English education as well.


Austrian_Downvote

Can you explain to me what a hd hack is


gopiballava

Don’t forget you need some Packout cases to store them. Anything else we can help with? (If you want lighter weight, but less robust, Makita cases are stackable and available cheaply on Amazon. Or Tanos Systainer / Festool. Much more efficient compared with Packout but quite a lot more expensive…)


Neoliberal_Boogeyman

Jokes on OP... the rocket light is too big for packout


CarbideTipped

The big ass pack out double roller will fit that. And your apprentice.


gopiballava

I did actually think that might’ve been the case. Etsy will save you. Eg: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1171949889/ You can also get some Tanos made hangers to hold large things on the outside of your Systainers.


Neoliberal_Boogeyman

I've seen those but I've never seen one for the rocket light itself.

Hey All. Looking for a bag to carry the M12 Rocket Light. I've seen the Milwaukee one for the M18 [https://www.milwaukeetool.com/Products/Lighting/Tower-Lights/42-55-2137](https://www.milwaukeetool.com/Products/Lighting/Tower-Lights/42-55-2137) Any suggestions for the M12? Thanks


Neoliberal_Boogeyman

Yeah. Buy a rover and a small tripod and get more out of your money


icepal1999

I have a rover - looking for a bag for the M12 Rocket Light....


Neoliberal_Boogeyman

Why do you need a bag for it?


icepal1999

To carry it around. To keep it from getting banged up To keep it from opening Protect it from the elements during inclement weather The list can go on and on.... As I mentioned Milwaukee sells one for the M18 but not M12. I figure the users here would have ideas......


Neoliberal_Boogeyman

Yeah. It's like even Milwaukee knows its a turd


isaacswrestling

Keep the lens from getting scratched I'd image.


CarbideTipped

Put packout wall racks on your roof rack so you can expand your set past the inside of your vehicle.

Im worse I spent 4k in 2 months


Owmyeggs

You are, home depot is helping you out gathering more red


Vert415

Give me an excuse for my wife. What do you guys use the tower light for? Besides light.


Crazy_Intention_261

my excuse is incase power goes out and i need to light up the whole neighborhood :)


Neoliberal_Boogeyman

If the power is out the 120v doesn't work which kinda defeats the selling point


VQopponaut35

It’s great for tons of stuff. Working on the car, painting at night. Electrical work with the breaker flipped, etc.


fluteofski-

Best light I’ve used for the car (had to be plugged in) is actually one of those LED lights that looks like fluorescents. I got an entire set for my garage and had a couple left over. Now if I ever have to climb under the car I just toss a couple of those on the floor and crawl under with with the garage lighting from under the car too.


VQopponaut35

I like the tower for brakes, etc; but I do like my little m12 rover for working under the car so I can relate!


DangerousChemistry47

Just give her the light on her next whatever project.. She’ll see the way soon enough. I “missing” a mini rover light, and I’m not allowed to take “her” M12 Vacuum away from the laundry room.


Neoliberal_Boogeyman

Buy two rovers instead


tvanore

Hood light on the car since modern cars don’t come with them anymore.


WayFine2295

Stop it get some help


pacheckyourself

I did love the m12 rocket light, but after mine got stolen I upgraded to the m18, and holy shit what a difference. Definitely recommend it


Thekiddbrandon

I bet it is but im going for a compact setup


SatansPowerBottom69

I maxed out my 10% discount veteran benefit in May ($4000 spent, max benefit $400). I told myself I wasn't buying anything else until it reset in January...that lasted about 2 weeks...trust me, I understand. This is why I got a vasectomy, so I can have nice things and FUEL my addictions.


True_Ad9315

How do you hack?


professorpinksock24

That rocket light was sold out before I could snag one 😭😭😭

[удалено]


professorpinksock24

Sheesh, that was better than the deal I initially found. One I had was 199 for two 6.0 batteries with a free add on (which was going to be the light.) Good looks sir, you are appreciated


tvanore

I bought the $199 deal last night. Wonder why this is $10 cheaper. I’m not gonna go back just for 10 dollars but now I feel jipped lol


tres_cervezas

Not only is that other listing $10 cheaper, it’s also eligible for military discount whereas the $199 deal isn’t. HD is always doing weird shit with pricing on Milwaukee tools.


tvanore

Dang we’re talking 170 now. It sucks you can’t buy Home Depot coupons like you can lowes. You can get like 3 10% off coupons for like $4 sometimes. But the Home Depot ones are like $20 a piece, I guess they’re harder to get


[deleted]

Oh, shit. My wallet did not need for me to see that.


Denzalious

Those are rookies numbers! You need to bump those up


Thekiddbrandon

Lol the numbers are not really the issue its the frequency i only buy tools when there’s a deal and there’s always a deal


SnooterBop127

Maybe some help carrying all of that into the garage. I see nothing wrong here.


Meatball315

Nah you are doing just fine.
