11:42 so happy I didn’t jump on the m18 brad nailer sale. Definitely would prefer the m12 model assuming they perform the same. I’ll trade weight and size for battery life any day
Honestly can’t wait to see what they’ve got for the m12 line when the forge comes out. M18 really only necessary in heavy heavy jobs. M12 fuel is capable of anything I needed
Honestly wish Milwaukee would get every thing out on the market, still waiting on Packout Rolling Tool box handle refit. Even Milwaukee rep says they don’t know when it is coming out…..
I will admit that as far as power tools go Milwaukee makes some quality tools. I am dumbfounded on how they accomplish this when tools are made in China. I heard that there is quality control that watches over the other division of quality control. The Chinese are more known for "close enough for who it's for". The who it's for is anyone willing to buy it. Besides the brand new very limited USA made hand tools you couldn't give me a Milwaukee hand tool. The number of Milwaukee power tools that I have I double that number in USA made DeWalt power tools. I feel better keeping people working here in the US than elsewhere. I'll put any of my DeWalt tools up against any Milwaukee equivalents any day. The US government considers China our biggest military threat on the planet so let's all do our part in contributing to that 500 billion dollars a year they get from the US buying their garbage. If you're lucky some day you'll be able to say, "see that missile coming straight down at us? I helped pay for that". Don't get me wrong about DeWalts Chinese garbage hand tools either. They are junk. Milwaukee or DeWalt s till don't know how to make bits that are even remotely worth a shit. I will go out of my way, order something if need be, and even pay a little more for USA made tools/products. There is no comparison in quality. The USA DeWalt power tools are marked as such and they are select items. My 1/2" drive monster impact, 3/8" drive impact, sawzall , hammer drill, and regular 1/2" drill are all 20v brushless assembled in the USA with domestic and global components. If it's not made in the USA their next best is made in Mexico. Still better than China. All other reasons aside except the quality of Chinese tools should speak for itself. I found myself in a bind needing a size 00 triwing bit on a Sunday. Good old harbor freight was the only place that had one. It actually came in a kit with a driver and a bunch of bits for $7. I didn't care about the other shit. I got home and that 00 bit wasn't even close to the right size. The finish was all goobered up and it was total trash. One other concern I've always had regardless of whose tool I'm using and that's fluids entering the tool through the vents. Transmission fluid, gas, and oil would most certainly destroy something. The good old Snap On pneumatic tools I just spray them off with brake kleen and it cleans and polishes them. I will say this I have a friend who does concrete and they use nothing but DeWalt. I asked why and he said after watching them get soaked with water or dropped in wet concrete and still function fine afterwards is what sold him. I also saw a video of a guy repairing a ruptured water main. When he was done tightening down this sleeve he just threw his impact in a miniature pond that had formed and it still worked after that. I can't believe that with Milwaukees rich history of making quality US tools that no US company stepped up on that purchase. It's almost as bad as the deals falling through for Shop Vac. It's now officially a Chinese owned company after being here for how many years. People that other brand name vacuums still refer to them as shop-vacs. I have a 20gal 3hp shop vac I received in 1991 or 1992. It still works like the day it was new. I believe I can take this older shop vac with a 3hp motor and suck up these new 5 and 6hp vacuums that are out there. The USA made ones are slowly being purchased and the new and improved shop vacs are made in China without the lifetime warranty. I went and purchased the largest USA made one I could find because there will not be anymore. All our businesses that took pride in the quality products they made and have been around forever are slowly being bought off by a country that we already don't want to enable them by fattening their pockets anymore. I believe it was in the early to mid 60s that I heard the US once made 60% of all the products in the world. I guess over here we get dumber as time goes by and we can't even make a junk piece of plastic phone that costs $1,400 to buy and probably $200 to make. Any us company that makes their start in the US by selling to US customers should have a hefty tariff put on their products once it returns to the US. Sorry about the rant everyone but I feel eventually people over here will forget how to wipe their asses next. Let's keep Americans working not some Communist country. If we're we to sever all ties with China and act like they never existed they would probably come close to extinction in 10 years or less.
20 mins to shoot, about 9 hours to collect info and write the script, and about 8 hours to edit I’m guessing. Would have to ask our editor. Glad you like enjoyed it!
It's a 15 minute script, and I did it in about 20. :) I had a few missteps, and twice I forgot to put the price on the teleprompter and had to run over to my workstation to get it while the camera rolled.
Since other commenters (not you) appear to have lost their minds, I’ll take my stab at it. I want this video reshot in one take and done in one breath or I’m unsubscribing!
Literally thought of that, but you have no idea how hard it is to read that many part numbers. Had I more time (I got the idea for the video on Monday) I would have done it, but it was a challenge getting this written, shot, and edited by Friday as it was.
These are all the new power tools they launched this year. Some STILL haven't reached the shelves. I explain exactly what the video is in detail in the first few sentences... and everyone is sticking around to see the video. I don't have the luxury of simply explaining my video in the title. I'm competing against Mr. Beast for your attention man. And if I don't do a good job, my family doesn't eat.
All these fancy tools and still no 1/2" crown, 16 gauge sheathing stapler for us carpenters. We can cut the wood, nail the wood, router the wood, but still can't staple the sheathing on without dragging the compressor cords and hoses out to run the pneumatic staplers. WTF?
I first guessed around $42k, and then quickly upped my guess to $140k as I forgot about the high-priced concrete and electricians tools that I will never buy. :) As for how much of these I want to buy myself, maybe around $1100 list. Granted, I already own a LOT of Milwaukee tools, so $1,100 is just the new stuff. Happy New Year everybody, and I'm looking forward to lots of great Tool Show RU-vid content in 2024!
It's got to be closer to 200k if you had to buy all of the jaws and accessories for all the force logic doodads. Not to mention all the packout to keep it organized
LOL true. If a bunch of new sockets ONLY came in a set, I counted that as one tool and price. But if you could buy them individually, I added them all up as well. (Like the $40 sockets)
$152,000 I think Milwaukee have got too many products ! how can that be economical, a lot of that stuff must be sitting on shelves unless everyones suddenly become millionaires and can afford to buy it all.
No one tradesperson needs all of those tools. There are a ton of specialty items in there (especially the really expensive stuff) that do very specific jobs, and still make people money.
@@ToolShow I understand the concept of specialty tools I use several myself, but most of what Milwaukee produces are not specialty tools, they are generic tools and the amount of plastic trash such as packout accessories they've produced latterly is astronomical. They cant go on like that somethings gona give, they're not going to shift all that, the average (generic) persons pockets aren't deep enough.
Have been hard core Milwaukee since the late 70s (1/2” Magnum Holeshooter). Makita was 1st to the viable battery tool market but they were disappointing. Milwaukee finally released its 18v Drill/Driver which is actually comparable to the Magnum Corded … I’ve killed 3 so far (only 1 was a Milwaukee Flaw). Whatever Battery Platform you choose is the tool you tend to stick with because the batteries are so expensive. Its really good seeing Milwaukee creating tools to exploit its battery. I own several … Drills, Saws, Impact Wrenches … they’re all superb. CAVEAT; You have to check closely to make sure you get the “Right” tool because they have included some “Entry Level” tools in the line up which lack many expected features.
Awesome job Rob. You did not miss a beat. Was just hoping that next time you can do it all in Darth Vader's voice. Lol love the show. Happy New Year's brother!❤️🙏
Thank you for all that you guys did this year differently much appreciated can’t wait to see the new tools next happy New year thank you for all the hours put into your show and for the Hard work.
forget about gimmicks, ad ons,and accessories using the tools is what counts , and they are not smooth,balanced or light like ,makita or dewalt constant users have the best judgement
LOL thanks man. Just a two man show here. I write the shows, Sarah makes them fun. :) But Sarah sat this one out after I told her what I wanted to do. Reading off technical information is NOT easy.
And it's used every day by hundreds of thousands of people to build great American things, create American jobs, feed American families, grow American businesses, and make America great. Thanks Chinese Tool Makers! (And I appreciate your sub!)
No hype but unfortunately it is some Chinese. At least they are making some American made tools that are very high quality and a good price. I am doing my best to buy all the American made tools in support. We just watched B&D fail with Craftsman American made tools. So my hats off to any company that is able to bring us American made tools. Tekton is another that is slowly bringing more and more in house. We cannot complain about where a tool is made if we do not support the ones made here. Unfortunately we lost the electronic market many years ago. I couldn't imagine the cost of a top tier Drill and impact driver if every part was sourced in America. You would literally have to build a facility to make the electronics and batterys before you could start.
Every tool was new this year. This is a recap of everything Milwaukee launched this year. If you already caught all 551, then no need to watch the show I guess! :)
