I've recently jumped on the Milwaukee bandwagon after years of using Dewalt tools, thanks to a free drill and two-pack of batteries I got in HVAC trade school. So far, every Milwaukee product I've tried—from their cordless power tools to safety glasses and even screwdrivers—feels superior. However, I'm curious if they've ever released a tool that just didn't live up to expectations. The only one I can think of is the M12 "installation driver," which, while small and compact, seems like it might not be everyone's favorite. What's your take?

The non-fuel leaf blower feels like a toy, and I can’t say the 6.5” non-fuel saw is much better. Honestly, there’s room for improvement there.
Honestly, the original Milwaukee backpack sprayer was terrible; it leaked everywhere because of a bad seal. It was a mess! But, on the flip side, I really like the M12 handheld sprayer—they nailed that one.
The first circular palm sander wasn't great either, and I’ve noticed that some of their hand vacs have been pretty weak. Not exactly what you'd expect from Milwaukee, especially considering their other quality tools.
You might want to rethink your love for the installation driver! I've heard mixed reviews. Some folks really seem to like it, but it can be hit or miss depending on what you’re using it for. It gets the job done for some, but others just can’t stand it.
Came in here to say this! OP better watch out, that little driver has its fans!
Yeah, I actually love mine! It’s become my go-to for quick tasks around the house.
