I just bought this two months ago for home renovation projects. I use it a few times a day, and have still not needed to recharge the battery once since its initial charge. The blade that comes with it is so impressive, everything cuts smooth like soft pine, even plywood and hardwood. I love this saw.
It was stated very quickly, but it is amazing to hear that there was a consensus that the Milwaukee actually has more power with their 18 volt platform.
Phenomenal video with unparalleled effort. I keep finding myself watching your videos every time you release a new one thinking these guys are going tooth and nail to become the best tool review youtube channel on the planet earth. Your growth will continue to grow - just make sure your youtube title names are on the mark, think what people will search for in the right words, especially when doing those huge comparison tests for each type of tool, those videos can easily draw a million views worldwide. Much appreciated for the time and effort you yourself Rob and your crew/friends put in to making these videos available worldwide all for free for the viewer. You sir are doing a fine job both on the video and text side with your website, thumbs up as always.
the ol’ 8.5” 28yr old MACKEATER in the rouessoueuuueeèù ? stand with outfeed table is still kickin worked hard and only changed brushes once. Shows no signs of quitting my mentor gave it to me and my apprentice will be next lol no BS best job site tablesaw ever made.. it deserves its own review
Thank you, Rob, for taking the time to produce another excellent, thorough, and unbiased review. Personally, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Makita will come out with a 36v X2 cordless table saw. I have their 36v tracksaw (sold my corded Festool to get it) and 36v miter saw and they've both been absolutely brilliant.
I’m needing a smaller saw for this upcoming season and even though I’m fully vested into the M12/M18 platform? It’s great to see that Dewalt’s original efforts have held the test of time. (Hats off to Dewalt, and kudos to Milwaukee.)
As usual thank you for the solid and fair reviews. There are so many reviewers doing this a side gig with Little experience in the trade. I know you are truthful and thorough with your reviews. After watching this I’m certain that you could go either way and be in good shape. I have a ton of Milwaukee batteries and Dewalt flexvolt batteries as well. I think it’s a toss up for the table saw, but Dewalt has Milwaukee on the miter saws.
They should make these cordless saws with a cord, just so you have the option. Also the saw should have a battery charger for the battery powered saw built right into it. Also another great idea offered as an ''option'' would be a generator that is pedal powered like those old stationery bicycles. They should also start making the ''table'' portion of the ''table saws'' out of solar panels that power the battery charger built into the saws. They should also make the saws with one or more of those generators that produce energy from movement/shaking like those flashlights that are already available, this way the saw charges up in the van/truck any time it's moved like on the ride to work. They should also add a light to the saws and built them right into it, this way you can see when moving it around at night or working in the dark. The saws should also have a corded radio built into/onto it that plugs into the table saw for power, the radio should also power ports for charging of backup batteries. A built-in coffee maker ('Mr. Milwaukee'?) would be nice... but that would also be a little over the top crazy... Thanks Rob
You guys came through right when I needed you! Been humming and hawing over this pre-order promotion in Canada (comes with an additional 12 Ah battery, free!) but I just needed a review to send me over the edge! I knew you guys would be first! Great job!
Atlas tools and mississauga hardware have it for $699 with extra 12 volt. But if you can wait I was speaking to milwaukee reps at home depot and in mid August I believe it will be $599 with extra battery. Having a big release than.
Yeah I was going to get it from BC Fasteners (closer to home) for the same free battery deal. Its tempting to wait for the price drop but I'm just one of those suckers that has to jump on a deal and can never roll the dice on a deal later ahaha. Especially when right out the gate, those batteries are $290 a piece. There's almost no other way I'll be getting 12 Ah battery at this early point in my contracting career.
Rob - Great breakdown. I love your deep tool knowledge and that it's based in truly understanding that a tool is a tool for doing work, not just an item you prattle off features about. Another one well done.
Agree with your crews who said the milwaukee TS seems to have more power. Feels like roughly 10% more powerful during use. Dewalt cordless TS had good power also during use. Always need a sharp blade also, not only for safety, but also for decent battery runtime on these units.
Hey Rob! Thanks for the review. I’ve been wanting a cordless tablesaw for a while now. I’m already invested in Milwaukee tools and didn’t want to buy into another battery system, especially since I have 4 others already. Now I know what I’m going to ask Santa for. Have a great 4th.
ordered mine a month and half ago the reps promised me it would get it beginning this month, but ain't holding my breath , I had to wait over 6 months for ordered tools, so hopefully soon
Thank you for this review. This is the kind of information I was looking for and pretty much solidified my decision. Most of my tools are Milwaukee with the exception of my Makita LXT miter. As much as I have enjoyed all my corded DeWalt saws, I really didn't want to be in the position of juggling so many different batteries and chargers. It seems that both table saws are excellent little saws so going with either is just fine.
Great videos sir. I ordered one and im not a professional. Just a weekend DIYer. I bought the miter saw too and a bunch of other m18 tools. Can wait to try them out!
Hayden Gregory hey there, i got the 10” miter saw and it came with a free 12ah battery. The 7 tool fuel set that I bought came with the fuel jigsaw 👍😎 i went on a crazy shopping spree at home depot and spent like $4k. Gonna make a video showing everything I got. 👍
Running at higher voltages favours less I2R (heat loss) and allows for smaller wire in motor windings. I agree with your extrapolation regarding the DeWalt's cutting capacity with a 12AH battery. I'd even suggest it will be better as the internal resistance of that battery will be even less resulting in less I2R losses with the battery heating up.
Good work as always. Milwaukee definitely takes designs and adds to them, all their tools are top notch. They have some nifty one off tools as well. I have the Flexvolt saw and would be happy to own either. I wish the Dewalt saw have two miter slots and dado capability, but I haven't need them yet. I was still able to make a scarfing jig and crosscut sled work with one miter slot. I still have some Milwaukee tools around the garage from before I switched and I'm happy with both sets. Both tools sets have had their issues, but are great.
I think the biggest thing when it comes to which tool line to get is where you start. If you start buying Makita, Ryobi, etc. that's what you will stick with because you already have the batteries and chargers. Where the issue starts is someone just starting to buy cordless tools...that's where your run times and power would come more into play I assume? I don't have the Dewalt cordless saw, but I really wonder how much the lack of having 2 miter slots would make in a production type job? I know i use them quite a bit on my Ridgid contractor saw, and my Skil portable saw so the lack of that one miter slot may be a huge deal for some. Great review by the way. I like when people review stuff who aren't biased for or against a particular brand....thank you.
Also where you live. I am in Middle America and you just don't see Makita, or Hitachi table saws and other tools and brands full line. there are times where I needed a new tool ASAP and going with a few of those brands I just mentioned would be more troublesome. don't have the time to wait for a tool to be ordered and delivered.
Sweet! I won't ask how you got it so quick. I just can't wait for the videos to come. Power station/home backup power supply(lol), with 4 of them I would imagine you could use it for days if the power goes out for lights and other basic things. Thanks for all you do Rob!
I have seen several videos of this saw petering out after short usage. I don`t think cordless table saws are quite there yet, but they are getting close.
Thanks for the review Rob. And your corded table saw the other day was your best yet ever seen from all channels related to a review. You put some money, time and tech into that review! You didn't commit either way between Dewalt and Milwaukee? I can't stomach another battery platform in 60 volt depsite having most dewalt 20 volt tools. I think unless dewalt comes out with some crazy 60 volt tools it's not worth it. At the end of the day you will always have two batteries so linear foot cuts are really not that important. I don't think one would run out of juice in 2018 with battery technology where its at and Milwaukee will just release a newer battery in 2019. Most legit trades in 2018 will have a Festool track and mft set up to compliment there tools and be using a tables saw for ripping and than finishing up on the Mft3. The rough carpenters may need a plug in machine because accuracy is not the crucial and just need to be constantly rip and banging away... But it sounds like the Milwaukee can handles this also! What I find most important is the rack and pinion fence and the fact that lowering and raising the blade has been significantly reduced. Would love the saw stop gearing in it! How is the mitre cuts and accuracy? Any chance you can compare powered 120 to cordless? Keep up the great work!
True, Dewalt Table saws have been a go to saw for years, I bought the Elecric jobsite saw some 15 years ago and didn't care for the fence at all or the stand, Sold it 8 months later and got the Ridgit from H.D. and just love it , Many others have thought so as well. Way better then the Dewalt Imho.
or if you are American you could buy the only brand that is At Least Assembled in the U.S.A. Dewalt but then again I forget that people don't care that much about their country.
Just ordered the Milwaukee one yesterday. Kinda wish I didn’t wait so long because the price has certainly gone up quite a bit. Paid $500 plus even with a discount.
Thanks rob for that review was hunting for it all time. In my opinion how much linear feet of board for dewalt table saw. And again what stopping Milwaukee from making a 120 volt platform with one battery now that would be a thriller to see.
The DeWalt and Milwaukee cordless table saws are pretty close with each other. In my opinion the DeWalt 60 Volt Flex is still top of the battery food chain because they are equally compatible with all of their other cordless XR tools.
Irish62 Sullivan I think they may be on top for build quality - the Flexvolt battery is only backward compatible. Milwaukee is 100% forward and backward compatible
I'd be curious to see a side by side test with some oak. Wondering if the m18 saw is geared for strength of cut over run time in comparison with the dewalt.
Rob, you mentioned using a dado and Milwaukee offering a wider throat plate to accommodate the dado stack. Does the wider throat plate come with the saw or will it be an additional purchase accessory?
I might be the only home woodworker with a garage shop too small to put in the full-sized table saw I want, but I doubt it. While I can bring home sheets of plywood, I lack the room for a table saw inside the garage. I do have room to store a portable jobsite saw like this, and since I am invested in the M18 tool/battery system, I'm buying myself this saw. I can carry it 20 feet to my flat driveway and do my cutting there, instead of waiting for the lumberyard to cut my plywood down on their panel saw, or trying to make loooong straight cuts with a circular saw out in the driveway. Corded jobsite saw perhaps? Sorry, my little garage has two 15a circuits - one of which is shared with the outlets on the adjacent wall in the living room! If I run a 13-15a tool on the shared circuity, it'll pop. If I run it on the unshared circuit, I have to shut off a couple of things first. I'd rather go cordless, since I already have eight M18 batteries in various Ah sizes, and I'd get the 12.0Ah batt combo kitted with the saw.
Yes sir I am. I'm referring to the rack and pinion fence that DEWALT had developed and Milwaukee copied. The video is showing the Milwaukee fence to show how identical it is.
I see :) Well Milwaukee has to keep their quality reputation going after all :) I consider Dewalt the job site tool and the Milwaukee the fru fru shop tool. :) I like them both.
I think your extrapolation has an error. It would be 33 x 12/9, which is 44 cuts expected from the DeWalt 12AH. However, the higher density cells are known to test below their capacity at high draws.
With regards to the battery stuff, if you consider that battery efficiency may not increase linearly with battery capacity could explain why Milwaukee appears to be less efficient than the De-Walt. Maybe... IMHO...
5:06 what do you mean 6in. Stap dayto? ?? And what is the flat dayto that you said that Milwaukee made a special for this saw? ?I haven't seen anything on Milwaukeetools ... Thanks again
Great review Big Rob, man, get some sun on those legs this spring/summer! Just joking, love your review vids, gotta be the best on the RUclips. Thank you
Good on you for bringing up the Watt-Hours of the batteries - that's the true measure. Voltage doesn't matter much in brushless motors - especially once you are in whole numbers ;-)
What is the point of a cordless table saw? Once you're lugging around tools that large to a place thst may not have power, bringing a generator seems more practical.
You dont I use a 18v makita dust extractor with mine and it works fine. And when I say that I mean almost every day. An AC vacuum is better but not greatly.
You only have to have common sense to understand the dust collecting was his personal addition to be clean during the video. this was a review of a product for F's sake. No you would not use a vacuum for dust collector on a job site in almost all cases. simmer down little buddy it was a tool review. and good for him for wanting to be clean. because as a contractor I will be the first to say 99% of you guys are messy AF and NEVER clean up after yourselves. good lord people are ignorant.
What good is the 60v flexvolt line then. If it still just comes down to amp hours. I figured there would be no way possible a 18 volt saw could keep up with a 54 volt saw.
Not all Milwaukee products are the best in every category, but they are always at the top. That being said, this table saw is the better saw, run time can always be taken care of with another battery and a charger since the M18 batteries will work on this saw. As always a great review. Keep up the good work, I love your reviews.
If Milwaukee would make their tools capable of also running off AC power I would exclusively buy Milwaukee tools. I will never buy a table saw that can't also be plugged in when cutting at the shop.
Great review thx! It all depends on which battery brand you have already invested in so even if Dewalt is better I’m so invested in Milwaukee batteries already
rich hubert hitachi has their multi-volt saw coming out this summer or q3. We’re planning a cordless table saw head to head with Dewalt, Milwaukee, and the Hitachi when that saw is released. Jeff @ ToolBoxBuzz
Great video. As for the saw, Ive yet to see any cordless table saws in my neck of the woods. Who's using them? By the time table saws hit a house there is power already. Sheathing maybe?
If I was to buy this used, is it difficult to bring the “one key” back to factory settings, or how does that all work? I don’t know anything about one key
Does One-Key allow you to change the blade speed? If so, would slowing it down from 6300 RPM to 5800 RPM to match DeWalt's speed change the Wh/cut calculation?
MidnightInsight no, it doesn’t allow speed changes. Lockout, location, and inventory (check in, check out) are the ONE-KEY features implemented on this saw.
I would probably buy one if it had a cord also, and it would charge the battery when it was plugged in. 600 lf until the battery runs out isnt much IMO
If you use this commercially, buy a second large, 9 or 12 amp hour battery. I'm a DIY guy and use 5, 9 and 12 hour amp. hour batteries. I built my own cabinet with left side extension, and out feed table that fold down. I am now using a circ. saw blade, that is quieter and improves battery life. There is a clip to hold the saw to the stand... Try it.
thecookster92 they need to. I believe it would have been a great way to show off the 12.0 battery instead of just upgrading the motor of their current circ saw.
I just bought this two months ago for home renovation projects. I use it a few times a day, and have still not needed to recharge the battery once since its initial charge. The blade that comes with it is so impressive, everything cuts smooth like soft pine, even plywood and hardwood. I love this saw.
The fact that Milwaukee is doing it at 18 volts vs 54 volts for Dewalt is pretty impressive on its own.
It was stated very quickly, but it is amazing to hear that there was a consensus that the Milwaukee actually has more power with their 18 volt platform.

They should make these cordless saws with a cord, just so you have the option. Also the saw should have a battery charger for the battery powered saw built right into it. Also another great idea offered as an ''option'' would be a generator that is pedal powered like those old stationery bicycles. They should also start making the ''table'' portion of the ''table saws'' out of solar panels that power the battery charger built into the saws. They should also make the saws with one or more of those generators that produce energy from movement/shaking like those flashlights that are already available, this way the saw charges up in the van/truck any time it's moved like on the ride to work. They should also add a light to the saws and built them right into it, this way you can see when moving it around at night or working in the dark. The saws should also have a corded radio built into/onto it that plugs into the table saw for power, the radio should also power ports for charging of backup batteries. A built-in coffee maker ('Mr. Milwaukee'?) would be nice... but that would also be a little over the top crazy...
Thanks Rob
I trust Rob because of his track record on this channel. I'm an electrician but I'm definitely getting one of these table saws.
Such a nice, thorough, honest review, Rob. Thumbs up!
I've been using mine for 2 years, HEAVY. And I love it. Hands down, my favorite go to table saw! Going into a (semi)permanent table!

The Ronin Chronicle did you order off of tool but they had a killer deal on m18 7-1/4 miter saw and D handle jig saw!! Might need to get this soon
Hayden Gregory hey there, i got the 10” miter saw and it came with a free 12ah battery. The 7 tool fuel set that I bought came with the fuel jigsaw 👍😎 i went on a crazy shopping spree at home depot and spent like $4k.

Good review as always. Just ordered this, excited to see how it performs :)
Another great review. I wonder if using the same Diablo blades on each saw would make any difference.
The Dewalt 12ah battery is available from Tool Nut for pre order, ships on August 1st. An eternity.
yup and we just got one yesterday!!!
Sweet! I won't ask how you got it so quick. I just can't wait for the videos to come. Power station/home backup power supply(lol), with 4 of them I would imagine you could use it for days if the power goes out for lights and other basic things. Thanks for all you do Rob!
Excellent Rob ! Thanks
Thanks Rob, mine just arrived.
Wish they had a corded version
David Dawson isn’t Milwaukee strictly cordless only with everything they bring out? So I doubt they will make one
Thanks Rob!
I have seen several videos of this saw petering out after short usage. I don`t think cordless table saws are quite there yet, but they are getting close.
Badass, looking forward to this and other new tools

How is the mitre cuts and accuracy?
Any chance you can compare powered 120 to cordless?
Keep up the great work!
Another fantastic tool review. You guys rock👍

Great review as usual. Looks like it's another case of pick your colour and go with them thanks for a great review once again keep it up.
or if you are American you could buy the only brand that is At Least Assembled in the U.S.A. Dewalt but then again I forget that people don't care that much about their country.

I want to make a 19mm birch ply walk in wardrobe with this do you think it’s a good saw for the job?
Great review as usual
Keep it coming!!!
What's the smallest amp hour battery this saw will function with?
chris veith we used it with a 5.0Ah or see if it would work - it did
would be good if you could connect with the packout systym
I would love to see a 9AH side by side comp.
Just ordered the Milwaukee one yesterday. Kinda wish I didn’t wait so long because the price has certainly gone up quite a bit. Paid $500 plus even with a discount.
That's the exact same fence system from DeWalt. Rack & Pinion front & back + flip over fence support.
yep

If u didn't catch where there from from him saying, or by how he says saw-r, you can def tell by just seeing how they frame
This might be a dumb question... but can I run a dado stack with these? I know I’ll probably only get like 5 cuts, but had to ask!
I'd be curious to see a side by side test with some oak. Wondering if the m18 saw is geared for strength of cut over run time in comparison with the dewalt.
Rob, you mentioned using a dado and Milwaukee offering a wider throat plate to accommodate the dado stack. Does the wider throat plate come with the saw or will it be an additional purchase accessory?
Daniel Julian additional accessory. Jeff @TBB
accessory
I might be the only home woodworker with a garage shop too small to put in the full-sized table saw I want, but I doubt it. While I can bring home sheets of plywood, I lack the room for a table saw inside the garage. I do have room to store a portable jobsite saw like this, and since I am invested in the M18 tool/battery system, I'm buying myself this saw. I can carry it 20 feet to my flat driveway and do my cutting there, instead of waiting for the lumberyard to cut my plywood down on their panel saw, or trying to make loooong straight cuts with a circular saw out in the driveway.
Corded jobsite saw perhaps? Sorry, my little garage has two 15a circuits - one of which is shared with the outlets on the adjacent wall in the living room! If I run a 13-15a tool on the shared circuity, it'll pop. If I run it on the unshared circuit, I have to shut off a couple of things first. I'd rather go cordless, since I already have eight M18 batteries in various Ah sizes, and I'd get the 12.0Ah batt combo kitted with the saw.
7:30 you gave me anxiety
2:04 Dewalt or Milwaukee? You are talking about Dewalt and showing Milwaukee?
Yes sir I am. I'm referring to the rack and pinion fence that DEWALT had developed and Milwaukee copied. The video is showing the Milwaukee fence to show how identical it is.
I see :) Well Milwaukee has to keep their quality reputation going after all :) I consider Dewalt the job site tool and the Milwaukee the fru fru shop tool. :) I like them both.
I think your extrapolation has an error. It would be 33 x 12/9, which is 44 cuts expected from the DeWalt 12AH. However, the higher density cells are known to test below their capacity at high draws.
Very good review.
With regards to the battery stuff, if you consider that battery efficiency may not increase linearly with battery capacity could explain why Milwaukee appears to be less efficient than the De-Walt. Maybe... IMHO...
5:06 what do you mean 6in. Stap dayto? ??
And what is the flat dayto that you said that Milwaukee made a special for this saw? ?I haven't seen anything on Milwaukeetools ...
Thanks again

Great review Big Rob, man, get some sun on those legs this spring/summer! Just joking, love your review vids, gotta be the best on the RUclips. Thank you
Super useful video. Now any chance of getting a good deal on one of these - cheers
Very nice review. You used the new Milwaukee blades on both saws. How do you like them?
their ok
Good on you for bringing up the Watt-Hours of the batteries - that's the true measure. Voltage doesn't matter much in brushless motors - especially once you are in whole numbers ;-)
What is the point of a cordless table saw? Once you're lugging around tools that large to a place thst may not have power, bringing a generator seems more practical.
Sometimes there's not enough power. Or just no power outlets
Batteries are a big profit generator for them. Electric cords don’t make money.
It does not make sense to me to go cordless tablesaw, but need a corded vacuum for dust collection.
You dont I use a 18v makita dust extractor with mine and it works fine. And when I say that I mean almost every day. An AC vacuum is better but not greatly.
You only have to have common sense to understand the dust collecting was his personal addition to be clean during the video. this was a review of a product for F's sake. No you would not use a vacuum for dust collector on a job site in almost all cases. simmer down little buddy it was a tool review. and good for him for wanting to be clean. because as a contractor I will be the first to say 99% of you guys are messy AF and NEVER clean up after yourselves. good lord people are ignorant.
I think you made an error, on your DeWalt extrapolation, you changed the cost per cut from 4.9 to 4.9 wh per cut
What good is the 60v flexvolt line then. If it still just comes down to amp hours. I figured there would be no way possible a 18 volt saw could keep up with a 54 volt saw.
Not all Milwaukee products are the best in every category, but they are always at the top. That being said, this table saw is the better saw, run time can always be taken care of with another battery and a charger since the M18 batteries will work on this saw. As always a great review. Keep up the good work, I love your reviews.
how accurate are they, with the fence?
You have the best tool reviews hands down, thank you.
There's just some things I don't mind running a cord for. If it's stationary I'll run a cord. If I have to move it around I want cordless.
If Milwaukee would make their tools capable of also running off AC power I would exclusively buy Milwaukee tools. I will never buy a table saw that can't also be plugged in when cutting at the shop.
So which one is quieter?
is there an adapter to use with the milwaukee backpack vacuum?
Great review thx! It all depends on which battery brand you have already invested in so even if Dewalt is better I’m so invested in Milwaukee batteries already
Totally agree!
Nice review Rob. Was wondering if you had any insight on future competitors coming out with cordless table saws?
rich hubert hitachi has their multi-volt saw coming out this summer or q3. We’re planning a cordless table saw head to head with Dewalt, Milwaukee, and the Hitachi when that saw is released. Jeff @ ToolBoxBuzz
Hitachi
Thanks guys!
Are you saying Hitachi or Metabo?
Great video. As for the saw, Ive yet to see any cordless table saws in my neck of the woods. Who's using them? By the time table saws hit a house there is power already. Sheathing maybe?
Joe Blow we use it regardless, for convenience
Spot on about cordless jobsite use. I'm completely cordless on the jobsite these days and will never go back.
Smacky Lips here is telling troof. This is a great saw.
pinkeye00 smacks?
Great reviews! Best on RUclips by far. Is there a way to run it corded? Does the dewalt have the option to run corded? Than you!
Have you computed the cost to charge the battery and runtime compare the cost to run a cordless tools?
no
Great video!!!
If I was to buy this used, is it difficult to bring the “one key” back to factory settings, or how does that all work? I don’t know anything about one key
Anyone hear if Makita will be putting out a cordless table saw anytime soon?
Does One-Key allow you to change the blade speed? If so, would slowing it down from 6300 RPM to 5800 RPM to match DeWalt's speed change the Wh/cut calculation?
MidnightInsight no, it doesn’t allow speed changes. Lockout, location, and inventory (check in, check out) are the ONE-KEY features implemented on this saw.
no
This makes no sense to be that it would not have an AC plug to use with conjunction with a cord?! Wow. If it had that I would consider it. Amazing.
I would probably buy one if it had a cord also, and it would charge the battery when it was plugged in. 600 lf until the battery runs out isnt much IMO
If you use this commercially, buy a second large, 9 or 12 amp hour battery. I'm a DIY guy and use 5, 9 and 12 hour amp. hour batteries. I built my own cabinet with left side extension, and out feed table that fold down. I am now using a circ. saw blade, that is quieter and improves battery life. There is a clip to hold the saw to the stand... Try it.
Hello i am from Mexico i dedicate mysefelf to the carpentry you recommend that saw for my work
Was the saw calibrated out of the box?
Yes
Do you know if Milwaukee going to make a cordless worm drive saw?
thecookster92 they need to. I believe it would have been a great way to show off the 12.0 battery instead of just upgrading the motor of their current circ saw.
Why is Makita not in the mix?
Andrew Broyles t wasn’t aware they had a cordless tablesaw?..
SKILSAW WORMDRIVE 10" BEAST !!!
THIS BABY CANT KEEP UP !!
THOUGH, MILWAUKEE IS PREEMO !!!
