If Milwaukee’s New Product Symposium for 2016 was a movie and I was voting for the Academy Awards, I would give Best Actor to the M18 Fuel™ Compound Miter Saw, with the Best Supporting Role going to the M18 Fuel™ Drywall Screwgun. On the production side, Milwaukee’s jobsite lighting solutions would again carry the day.
It’s hard to pick a […]

Milwaukee Tool has been supplying tools for the plumbing and electrical trades since 1924, but continues to expend considerable energy in improving existing stalwarts like pipe wrenches, adjustable wrenches, hack saws, tubing cutters and the like. One might wonder how such basic tools could be made better, but the designs of even the most basic tools […]
When I first tried on my new Milwaukee Heated Gear back in August, the weather was pretty warm, as you may imagine. It was not my first introduction. I wore the M12™ Heated Jacket all of last winter and it kept me very comfortable on its own. The few times I wore anything over it I […]
Milwaukee’s M18 Fuel™ 1½” Magnetic Drill is fitted with a quick-release Weldon chuck to fit and rapidly change annular cutters, and even to mount a Weldon to ½” adapter for conventional twist bits. Their 9-piece annular cutter set (49-22-8410) is a good companion to this and other mag drills. The German-made kit includes 9 cutters ranging from ½” […]
There’s no denying the importance of saw horses on a construction site. They are used for more than the obvious, being handy for things such as storing materials safely off the ground, painting trim stock, making a plan table or setting staging to increase the carpenter’s reach. That may be why my Grandfather Russell Van Lieu called […]
I’ve been waiting for the launch of Milwaukee’s new M18™ 3¼” Planer since giving it a try at their New Product Symposium back in June, and it’s finally here. I’ve never used my corded planer that much, long having a preference for my vintage planes. I limited my power planing to times when I needed […]
When Milwaukee announced their new cordless mag drills in April of this year, it was the first time I had even heard of such a tool. Being a woodworker, my contact with steel had been limited to the occasional I-beam in residential construction, steel that needed holes so wood framing materials could be bolted to it. […]
Several people have lately described Milwaukee’s Impact Drivers as wobbly, and I saw a video that backs up their assertions. The videos raised a number of questions with me, so I set up a block of wood for a few tests done in a similar manner to the video I saw. I used a block of […]
