Hey Vince! I love your channel because of episodes like this. I think you should do your own version of the old, "The more you know!" thing at the end of these types of videos.
I believe the questions asked once before on a life stream what that was for and I mentioned it was a 1/4 - 20 threaded insert for a magnet accessory that was originally offered for an m12 work light, but that they also offered a hook
80% of this channel could be 1 minute videos however even if you wanted too you cannot do that on youtube. The algorithms that decide what content to promote on youtube will almost never recommend a video thats less than 5 minutes. Just gotta skip.
the hardest thing about those bits is taking them out of the damn box. I always feel like my finger is going to slip and get cut on an adjacent bit. I use needle nose to get them out - it's ridiculous.
agreed to both of you guys. I have the one set with drill bits, and almost diced my fingers trying to get the out. Pliers or something to wedge them from underneath is the way to go.
They planned on attaching them to the pack out boxes, it went all the way to production on the bit boxes, but VP veto'ed it because they make the pack out organizer box, so it would have took from profits on the new pack out organizer. My uncle works for Milwaukee
@@maxwaters1461he'd be a terrific political candidate; to expound virtues of 1/4"-20 female threads in a mere 7+ minutes. And who watching this couldn't MAKE a belt clip or loop to hang from belt, ladder rung, maybe ear gauge? At least they have a clue what size screw to allow for!
I store my drill bits with the cutting edges in, not out. First, you never worry about cutting your fingers when putting them in or taking them out. Second, it is easier to see and compare rod sizes than imagining the rod size when looking at the sharp end. It is easier to hold a bolt up to the flat back and see if the bit is a good size. I like the carriage bolt honorable mention idea. The magnet would quickly attract sharp iron filing that would have to be removed or risk injuring skin. The other ideas are good but esoteric for my own use.
If they want to go fancy with these boxes, they should design them, so you can remove the bits with on hand. Some times I even need pliers to remove them, especially with oily hands
I've got 2 sets, and I put a small carabiner clip attached to short nylon webbing on each. Then I just clip them to the D rings for the shoulder strap of my main tool bag. Keeps them hanging conveniently on the side and frees up a lot of real estate inside.
I have to say, “I REALLY appreciate your content and your personality, with your channel and videos!” Provides me a lot of insight into tools and systems. Thank You!!!
Well, time to buy a bag of 1/4-20's, a few magnets, and some epoxy. Thank you for revealing the answer to "What the hell is this for?" My guess for why they dropped the belt clip is that someone went up a ladder and the bit box came down way before they did.
For any photographers, we have Peak Design Capture Clips that can be bolted to the Milwaukee tool boxes. Then you can attach the boxes to ANY belt quickly and easily. We also have 1/4”20 neodymium magnet mounts that can hold about 10 lbs.
Dude seems to operate in overdrive when he’s motivated and has a goal. Probably surprisingly quicker than most people out there. Not to mention he’s likely the owner of the construction company and not the one swinging a hammer anymore. Can you imagine working for someone who operates at 2x speed?
VCG Construction I think retrofitting a screw/nut and bracket like an old phone belt clip so I can pop off when needed. somehow make a row of clip on/off storage. Makes sense in my head but could be an idea. Lol 🤔😂
My case came with 3 belt clips along with my m18 drill and 1/4 drive impact and I made my own magnet for it and made a carabiner clip and strap . The clip you had didn’t look like mine , mine looks like the one on you impact on the shelf behind you . My favorite one is the strap w/ carabiner it’ll hook onto anything !
I did build a unistrut bracket with 1/4 rod and stand off claps worked pretty good but found out it’s better to have them with me where the works at,so most of my kits made it back into my packout.great vid Vince love the intro music!!!
Probably their tests for the belt clip was turning up multiple failures one and the most major of which I can only assume was that the nut in the case would eventually after X amount of times tear out or the latter of my two ideas was the case would open/it'd get snagged.
Lmao said something damn sometimes I just want them to say what video is I don’t need the “jokes” and pointless skits just show me some thing damn it not everyone got mins to waste lol
I've said that before, but he doesn't listen. Now I just skip through the beginning, because I know he's going to rattle-off for a good three to five minutes.
Guys. Y'all do realize that these guys are in business of gathering the largest crowd and getting the most views possible on here right? If you don't have the time to waste. Then get off of fkn youtube. It's called personality and a sense of humor. Get one
I think the reason Milwaukee doesn't sell the belt clip anymore is because the nut will pull out of the case. If you look at the case, it shows the nut was pressed in from the outside instead of the inside. So when walking around with the clip on, the case would fall off & spill everything.
They also fit prefect in the hard cases if you cut spots out for them in the inner liner. I have a hard case for the 1/2” drill and 1/4” impact combo, I keep my 1/2” drill in it and cut out for 4 bit cases and can still put my charger in when I need it.
Yes! This vid was 5-6 minutes too long. I was reading the Comments on this vid while I was watching it. About the 5 minute mark I realized I had been bamboozled! And so had everyone else. You want to make this a 7 minute vid (and be fair to your audience) you should have had a smoking hot blond in a bikini demo’ing the things you tried fitting to the Milwaukee box.
Been watching for awhile. Subscribed. Nice to know about that Makita case hidden storage. Def never knew that. I'm an electrician almost 30 years now. Point Pleasant NJ over here,
I made my own screw-on magnet before those were available. Bought rare earth magnets at the local surplus store, with holes already in them. I also have one of the smaller boxes with a belt clip, which came from the surplus store as well. Been using these for quite sometime now. I think the kickstand idea is brilliant! Cheers, keep up the great videos.
I'm wondering if the belt clip is no longer available because it wasn't a tight fit on your belt and they slipped off and fell. Hitting a co-worker with a falling object is a safety issue and they probably got tired of replacing the cases after breaking from the fall. 🤷🏻♂️

Oddly as a mechanic...that magnet on the bit case...helps keep the case stay put under the hood of a car while your working on it. I've known about it for years actually!
My honorable mention would to have something between 2 of the boxes that allowed them to be relatively stacked and connected but allowed them to fan out to allow you access to both simultaneously.
My guess is to hang them on a wall in your garage or shop, peg board or a sheet of wood, whatever you can think up, everyone’s got different and good ideas 👍🏻
Your voice and manner of speaking make me think of a motivational speaker, but one who's really mean about it. "THINGS ARE GONNA GET BETTER! YOU GOT NO CHOICE!" "YOU'RE GONNA BE THE BEST, AND THAT IS A /THREAT/!"
Hi Vince, you recently reviewed Milwaukee’s little red shockwave toolboxes. Any idea why the bits are so hard to get out? I’m not fond of having my fingers slipping on a drillbit trying to pull it up and out of a too tight holder, and slicing my finger open. DeWalt has a much better style. Flip up 90° and pull the tool out with no effort. I’ve resorted to putting a small stubby screwdriver in the box, and prying up from the bottom on the bit shank until it breaks free. Much savings on Band-Aids!!!!
The gorilla mount on a scaffold is genius!!!! Can’t tell you how many times I have my Milwaukee box flipping back and forth from screw tip to 5/8 drill bit.
Another great video Vince. Love the 99% of people don't know about... videos. I don't even own a single Milwaukee tool but I had to watch. I had no idea and now I do.
The main reason they have the super duper secret 1/4 20 nut is because guys have waisted miles of good 3m electrical tape, hiding the helpers tools in the ceiling... So Milwaukee said *Voila* ... screw the box right to some all thread! The kid freaks out, everyone laughs and the boss is very happy because only time was wasted... no tape!
As a Milwaukee resident, not affiliated with the company, the most resourceful way to utilize this is with the magnet and attaching to the top lid of a steel tool box. The profile may just meet that of the lid to conserve space.
What the hell, Vince. I was literally looking at the threaded holes on these cases, like, an hour ago and then BANG! This ad shows up on my RU-vid feed! (Thanks!)
Working with the Milwaukee shockwave boxes, I’ve noticed that it can take both hands to get a bit out, that’s why I don’t think Milwaukee offers a belt clip with them. Imagine pulling a bit up one handed and your whole bit box just flew up and out..
New guy here , just want to say I'm learning a lot thinking of switching careers to electrician, I have IT and heavy mechanic also infantry and cybersecurity experience , but holy cow I like Milwaukee, and my sthils and thanks for information brother , my brother and I are finishing basment on your tips with dry wall , you tube needs more Vince !
The kickstand idea is pretty cool!! I think they got rid of the beltclip idea because where are you supposed to fit it with a toolbelt on. That's my guess, but what do i know. Always hitting us with the great tips brother!! Nice vid! VCG4LIFE!!!!!
I haven't watched yet, but fixing to. I'm guessing you're going to talk about the 1/4 -20 threaded insert on the back that is meant for magnets and hooks
Fun fact. The definition of stainless steel is any steel alloy that contains 10.5 percent chromium by mass. You can meet that criteria and still have magnetic properties
VCG Construction I just meant show if you loaded any up with other tools. I have customized some of mine with other gear, for instance I have added 1/2”, 3/8” and 1/4” hex drive adapters to one case so I have it to use to drive any size socket with the impact when I work on the car of other equipment.
