Old Milwaukee cordless tools

[Mad Trapper]

I was at the annual 4H-farm auction this week.

One of the box lots had a NOS genuine set of standard tines for old school Troy Built tillers. I've got a Horse model tiller, but just changed out to HD tines a couple years ago. Anyway, the standard tines are ~$13 each and 16 in a set........I got the box for $22.50.

The box has a whole bunch of older Milwaukee cordless tools in it, appear low use/good shape: circular saws, hammer drills, sawzalls, chargers for old style V18 Ni/MH and Li batteries.....no batteries so I can't test them. I already have some newer M18 stuff: drill, sawzall, circular saw, flashlight, charger. But I could use the hammer drill and maybe keep a sawsall and circ saw for spares, then flip the rest on CL, if I can see if they run. I don't have time for pictures of the lot now.

What are opinions on the function of these older tools, if you could use them with newer M18 18V batteries?

I'm getting an adapter so I can test the tools using my M18 Milwaukee bats. The adapter has an interesting charge port for USB too, so you can charge those off M18 batts too. Worth a try for $15?



Any thoughts on the above?
