So when I had an opening for a giveaway I knew I had to try and team up with Milwaukee to give one of them away. Milwaukee Tool happily agreed to my request and also decided to throw in a battery and a charger.

When they come out later this year, the lineup will include more color and camouflaged jacket/hoodie choices, a new jacket design, and even a new 3-in-1 jacket style. The original M12 Heated Jacket has been completely redesigned from the ground up to make it more comfortable for the user. They changed the cut to improved range of motion, while keeping the jacket closer fitting to help with heat transfer. A new feature allows the... ]]> Wed, 02 Jul 2014 08:07:00 -0500 https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/new-milwaukee-auto-voltage-continuity-testers-201406241656/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/new-milwaukee-auto-voltage-continuity-testers-201406241656/ Just in case you still thought of Milwaukee as only a power tool company, they are continuing to expand in their Test & Measurement line of tools with the addition of two new Electrical Testers. Their goal, they say, was to come out with a simplistic Voltage/Continuity tester with a digital readout. "With advanced features for this category, the Milwaukee Auto Voltage/Continuity Testers provide maximum value for any Apprentice or Journeymen Electrician looking for the most accurate and simple way to quickly test outlets, switches, and breaker panels." says Corey Dickert, Director of Marketing, Product... ]]> Tue, 24 Jun 2014 08:03:00 -0500 https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/reviews/review-milwaukee-m12-and-m18-cordless-led-lights-201406091650/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/reviews/review-milwaukee-m12-and-m18-cordless-led-lights-201406091650/ A while ago Milwaukee sent me out their M12 LED Stick Light and their M18 LED Flood Light to review, but to be honest, after much testing I couldn't find the words to express how much I love these two light. While I wanted to share a review for these two excellent lights, I just kept putting it off. Well, the wait is finally over; I still might not be able to express my adoration for the Milwaukee cordless LED work lights, but here it goes.

Steeped in history dating back to 1919, Empire Level is a fully integrated solutions provider in the Layout and Measurement product categories. Empire is the leading US manufacturer of levels, squares, layout tools, and safety and utility tape. "From the invention of the Monovial, to the introduction of the first Torpedo Level, Empire has a strong history of innovation.

Yesterday's email was one of the rare gems, announcing an online sale on select Milwaukee Tools, Ridgid tools, Pnuematic compressors and nailers, and more. And this isn't just a regular sale, the saving on some of the items is big.

But what sets them apart from all the other locking pliers that are already available is a new feature called Torque Lock. Torque Lock is an adjustment system that allows users to change the clamping force of the pliers or clamps while they are already clamped down. Milwaukee came out with the system after seeing contractors modify their own locking-pliers to add a similar feature. "Inspired by this inventive user modification, our TORQUE LOCK™ Locking... ]]> Tue, 13 May 2014 07:00:00 -0500 https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/new-milwaukee-work-box-survives-drops-with-50-pound-load-201405051629/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/new-milwaukee-work-box-survives-drops-with-50-pound-load-201405051629/ Many brands claim to make tool boxes that are tough enough to handle jobsite abuse, but how many of them can survive 1000 drops with a 50lb. load? Probably not many, but Milwaukee says their new 26" Jobsite Work Box 48-22-8020 can. From bouncing around in the back of a truck, to being used as a workbench and a makeshift ladder, I have seen some tool boxes break in less than a year. At $30-$50 a pop, I can see the value in a tool box that is truly jobsite tough. ... ]]> Mon, 05 May 2014 07:25:00 -0500 https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/milwaukee-announces-new-m18-fuel-deep-cut-band-saw-201404281625/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/milwaukee-announces-new-m18-fuel-deep-cut-band-saw-201404281625/ Milwaukee continues to push out M18 Fuel tools at a staggering pace. The latest tool to get Milwaukee's brushless motor treatment—among other advancements—is their Deep Cut Band saw with a 5"x5" cutting capacity. Milwaukee corded band saws are well regarded in the construction industry, so I have no doubt that Milwaukee applied everything they have learned over the years into what they are saying is a cordless band saw that has the ability to "deliver faster cutting speeds than corded units". Of course those claims wouldn't be possible without Milwaukee's M18 Fuel Powerstate Brushless motor... ]]> Mon, 28 Apr 2014 20:15:00 -0500 https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/milwaukee-shockwave-thin-wall-hole-saws-promise-faster-cleaner-cut-in-metal-201404091616/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/milwaukee-shockwave-thin-wall-hole-saws-promise-faster-cleaner-cut-in-metal-201404091616/ Milwaukee has introduced a new line of Shockwave Thin Wall Hole Saws that have designed to meet the needs of professionals who regularly need to drill through thin sheet metal. As part of the Shockwave line, these hole saws features a ¼" hex shank so they can be used in Impact Drivers.
