The new PACKOUT sets include both SAE and Metric options. The PACKOUT Organizers used in these sets are compatible with the complete Milwaukee PACKOUT Modular Storage System, which has grown to include 20 modular storage solutions. Milwaukee Sockets feature an innovative design that incorporates four flat sides on each socket. This makes them easier to grip, provides some anti-roll protection, and allows for a wrench to be used directly on the socket.

While this sounds like this would cause the saw to be underpowered, they claim their new M18 Fuel 8-1/4” Table Saw "generates the power of a 15amp corded saw". If this were an off-brand making these claims I would be skeptical, but Milwaukee Tool has proven over the years that they don't want to just be competitive, they want to be better than their competition, and this is... ]]> Wed, 09 May 2018 06:41:27 -0500 https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/new-lightweight-miter-stand-from-milwaukee-201705152036/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/new-lightweight-miter-stand-from-milwaukee-201705152036/ Milwaukee Tools has announced a new compact and lightweight miter saw stand that weighs only 31-pounds yet has a weight capacity of over 500-pounds. Its portability would pair nicely with the cordless 18V miter saw Milwaukee came out with last year. The new 48-08-0551 Milwaukee Folding Miter Saw Stand extends to provide a total of 100-inchs of support—or just over 4-feet on each side of the blade—yet it is only 43.5" when it is in its collapsed configuration. The 4-feet of support is adequate for most building materials, but if you plan on cutting... ]]> Mon, 15 May 2017 08:51:45 -0500 https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/tool-security-and-trigger-lock-enabled-in-lastest-one-key-app-update-201701132015/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/tool-security-and-trigger-lock-enabled-in-lastest-one-key-app-update-201701132015/ Did you download the latest update to the Milwaukee One-Key app? If not, you should. The new update enables a new trigger lock-out feature as well as some other features that add a better level of tool security and theft protection to the Milwaukee tools that feature the One-Key system. The new Trigger Lock feature allows owners, and even guest that you have granted permision, to use either the app or the One-Key website to remotely lock the tool to prevent use. The lock-out would take place the next time the tool was within range of a... ]]> Fri, 13 Jan 2017 00:38:28 -0600 https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/milwaukee-tick-is-one-key-tracking-for-any-tool-201701062013/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/milwaukee-tick-is-one-key-tracking-for-any-tool-201701062013/ Milwaukee Tools is taking one part of their One-Key smart tool system and is sharing it with other tools from any brand. The Milwaukee TICK is a small tool/equipment tracker that can be attached and hidden on larger tools to provide inventory tracking and basic anti-theft protection. If you are not familiar with Milwaukee One-Key Tool Tracking, it is one of many features that is built into some of newer Milwaukee Tools that are One-Key enabled. One-Key uses Bluetooth technology inside the tools to communicate with the One-Key app. With this, One-Key Tool Tracking is able to... ]]> Fri, 06 Jan 2017 23:28:21 -0600 https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/milwaukee-redstick-levels-promise-industry-leading-durability-201612022011/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/milwaukee-redstick-levels-promise-industry-leading-durability-201612022011/ One of the most important tools on the jobsite is the box level, but at the same time it is one of the most fragile. If it changes in just the slightest amount, all of the work done with it will be wrong. To ensure your work is never the fault of a bad level, Milwaukee Tool has introduced their new line of REDSTICK box levels, that promise to lead the industry in durability and deliver guaranteed accuracy. Over the years I have gone through a countless number of box levels that all... ]]> Fri, 02 Dec 2016 00:11:48 -0600 https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/reviews/is-milwaukee-one-key-a-useful-feature-or-useless-gimmick-201607151972/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/reviews/is-milwaukee-one-key-a-useful-feature-or-useless-gimmick-201607151972/ When I first heard about the features Milwaukee was planning on incorporating into their One-Key system I could not help but feel like a little kid waiting for that hot new toy of the year to come out. After getting samples of the Milwaukee One-Key Drill (2705-20) and the One-Key Impact (2757-20), and after the new-tool-high started to wear off, I got down to business, trying to find out if the One-Key system is a useful feature or just something fancy that I can show to the co-workers but would rarely use. Is was time for me to... ]]> Fri, 15 Jul 2016 05:53:44 -0500 https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/customize-milwaukee-drill-and-impact-performance-with-one-key-tool-control-201512151940/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/customize-milwaukee-drill-and-impact-performance-with-one-key-tool-control-201512151940/ Milwaukee One-Key is a new feature that Milwaukee announced back in September that allows One-Key enabled tools to communicate wirelessly with smartphones running the One-Key App. While the App was released in September, since no One-Key enabled tools were available, it was only really useful for tool inventory management. That is all about to change February 2016 when the first One-Key enabled tools with Tool Control will hit store shelves. These first One-Key Tool Control tools will be a selection of M18 Fuel Drills and Impacts. If you recall back to our initial... ]]> Tue, 15 Dec 2015 22:44:20 -0600 https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/milwaukee-one-key-is-the-future-of-power-tools-201507301910/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/milwaukee-one-key-is-the-future-of-power-tools-201507301910/ What is Milwaukee ONE KEY? Milwaukee is already adding technology, such as Redlink Plus, to their M18 cordless tools to ensure that they perform at their peek at all times, no matter the conditions. One Key is the next step in combining power tools with the latest technology, to make Smart Tools. One Key is Milwaukee’s own custom-build Cloud based program that will change the way contractors use their tools, by giving them more information and more control over their tools. Milwaukee has big plans for One Key, which they will be rolling out in stages... ]]> Thu, 30 Jul 2015 06:55:13 -0500 https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/milwaukee-new-product-symposium-2015-new-tool-preview-201506191896/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/milwaukee-new-product-symposium-2015-new-tool-preview-201506191896/ Attending Milwaukee Tool Company's 2015 new product symposium gives me the responsibility of sharing with you some of Milwaukee's great new tools; but this year, more so than others, I have the greater (the bound) responsibility of not sharing some of what Milwaukee has for us in the near future. So, bound by contract until August 1st, about that I'll just say that Milwaukee Tool Company is still all about disruptive innovation. However, since the purpose of the event is to reveal (not conceal) their new tools, let me start by highlighting a few. ... ]]> Fri, 19 Jun 2015 15:55:31 -0500
