Hey guys thanks for watching as always! This was an updated video to share a little more about how we've enjoyed our experience with the M12 Heated Jackets from Milwaukee! Thanks for all the feedback and questions over the last few months! Let me know which jacket you guys rock and if you equally enjoy your Milwaukee gear as much as I do!
The Rip stop gear I would keep in my truck for one of those O Sh*t moments. You know I am in the middle of nowhere and Broke down or stuck with no cell reception.
I absolutely love my Milwaukee heated gear. Owning both the heated soft shell jacket, and the heated gloves, they are truly GAME CHANGERS. To Brian's point, the jacket is literally a show stopper. Anyone and everyone always stops me if the lights are on. They're amazed by the quality of the jacket and how warm they can get. The heated gloves, being my first pair of heated gear, have changed my outdoor work experiences for the better. As someone who constantly has cold extremities (fingers and toes are always like ice 3 out of 4 seasons each year) and while living in Northeast PA, it get's pretty cold here on a regular basis from Oct - March. I've used these gloves to operate blowers during cleanups and light snow removal, while plowing snow on the atv, etc... While the heat from both of these are fantastic for someone like me, the only con I have out of both products would be that the gloves can get a bit tight on your wrist given the size of the battery, especially if you wear a smartwatch or larger wristwatch. I can get by with this, it's not a dealbreaker for me, but may be to some depending on how long you wear the gloves for. Now if Milwaukee would only make some heated socks! I still suffer from lackluster toe warmers and my feet are always the first thing to get cold. Great video as always Brian! Just wanted to give my $0.02.
@@BriansLawnMaintenance 30+ years ago me and my dad were doing our longest driveway when we went in we hit the bridge with no problem on the way out the drifting snow reduced visibility to about 20 feet we missed the bridge and went sliding into a creek 12 feet from the bridge 18 feet down. Now the creek was to low to fish for the first 20 minutes. The second 20 minutes it ran over the back side of the hinge for the V blade. Walking to the neighboring business took me almost 30 minutes. Pre cellphone sucked in bad weather. But lets be honest there are still many areas that in good weather signal is weak or none.
I got the soft shell jacket and beanie for Christmas, absolutely love them both!! The jacket heats up very quickly and will make you sweat on high after 5 or 10 minutes. The beanie is by far the warmest and most comfortable I've ever worn. Just wish the jacket came with a hood. Awesome review Brian!!
I’m glad you said something about ladies jackets. I work outside and want to find a balance of warmth, comfortability, and looking nice. Awesome video!
I have had the heated hoodie for about 5 years. Works great. I bought a heated vest this year for Scout but it is not a Milwaukee. It has a heated collar which is a fantastic place to have a heat zone.
thanks you just saved me from wasting money on a red one, i really like the color but i do a lot of farm work and building stuff, i will order the black one
3 years my tuffshell been awesome. !!! Cold windy weather I'm in out of industrial maintenance. So fun fun. I'm getting the new high visibility hoodie. Acme tool has them $130 bare hoodie
Couple quick tech tips… For the people with an Axis jacket (quilted), you will end up with rips and gouges but there’s an easy, cheap, good looking fix. Pick up some adhesive gore-Tex patches. You can cut them into diamond shape to match perfect and it looks like a factory repair. Also, a must have with any of these jackets is a better battery. Search “12v heated jacket Li-Po battery” and pick one up. They are flat and won’t jab you in the kidney like the M12 and they also last 5x longer as well. 100% worth the $69!
Nice job reviewing all the Milwaukee gear. I'm on the fence with the quilted Axis jacket. I have the 1st gen soft shell jacket and it's ok. I am interested in the heated chest/back & shoulder zones of the Axis jacket. I'm not a contractor or landscaper anymore, but I am a dad with a daughter in marching band, so sitting in the stands watching football games and halftime band shows has me wanting to buy the latest heated gear which has probably been improved upon since my initial investment 4-5 years ago. Thanks again for walking through the category from Milwaukee.
Great video Brian, I love my Milwaukee soft shell jacket I wear black with a high vis vest and I also love the Gloves! I am a huge fan Milwaukee from their clothing, power tools, tools, sharpie, even their tool belts, every good products wouldn’t go to anything else!
Brian's Lawn Maintenance I especially love the Milwaukee 15 inch packout tote when I do irrigation service it can get out of the truck grab it and everything is there and in it no running back to the service truck 100 times because you forgot something!
Great video! I run a carpet cleaning business actually and I would highly recommend getting some scotchgard or other fabric protector and apply it to the jacket when it is brand new. Apply several coats of product. I bet that red one would still look brand new if you'd done that. Also, clean the jacket and re-apply the scotchgard every time you wash it
I am thanks for the review very good information I bought my Milwaukee heated jacket last year or my wife did and on my say so for my birthday my sweet loving wife I love her more than anything. And I’m just like you hate the cold I hate being cold good information once again couldn’t make a better decision than my red Milwaukee heated coat
Got the m12 sweater for xmas. I do construction in the winters and its made it more bearable. Just went through a -14c day fairly easily. I miss the arm heater from the jacket but as a second layer the sweater works amazing anything higher up seems like it wouldn't work as well
Great video Brian. I am personally not a fan of the heated jackets. I really like my carhartt jacket and gloves for the wintertime because it’s warm and it’s really tough.
I have the M12 but got the new Axis layering system for this season and that IS where it’s at. Also got the heated gloves for this season and their gridiron lined winter bib. I do snow removal in an open cab backhoe so this gear helps.
Big facts. You gotta turn it off or you will sweat to death. I found that out snow blowing. The jackets come with a 1.5 amp battery. You gotta use the 2 and 3 amp batteries. Those gloves are overkill for me, and I’m in Michigan from Louisiana.
I leave my sweater on red all day long. Working or not. When the temp starts dropping past double didgets Celsius. Minus 30 I've sweated my butt off with only my sweater and thin coveralls
I bought my employees who are doing winter snow removal the heavy duty jackets. Biggest waste of $200 per jacket. They are semi warm but please people don't believe the hype.
Lil girl? 😂😂😂🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️. Great video bruh!! You've seen me and no Smedium for me. But I think the soft shell would be the most beneficial for me. I don't mind sweating but I definitely don't like to when it's cold and it's exposed to the temperatures. I think this would keep the wind out! Those gloves are clutch too!😍😍
Surprised top comment wasn't "how dare you speak like that I'm calling the BBB ,your 1st wife, 3 of your neighbors, your cat, and your 3rd grade teacher!" HOW DARE YOU
Sorry to hear that. But I didn’t know they make larger M12’s? I don’t do a ton with tools so that’s really cool if there is a newer battery. I believe with the holster you can mount an m18, but that’s a little over kill ha
I have a question before I buy this product that I’m concerned about, I work outside and wear a harness and tool bags all day, will the battery be in the way of my waistline
I'm a carpenter and I wear the tough shell jacket. I put my tool belt on first then jacket. No issues. If you put tool belt on last you got to fiddle with battery for placement. Hope this helps. Merry Christmas
sucks that their website is out of stock on all there heated apparel all the time. I have been wanting to get a jacket for awhile but every time I go to buy one they are sold out. but the one I had was awesome just can't replace it because they are never in stock
Funny enough mine sat in the box for a month, I didn't want to open it up and get it dirty, and then my senses hit me, saying what in the heck am I talking about. Then I wore it during leaf clean ups, and it got trashed (that red one I showed), ha!
@@clintturland7955 I also toss sand/salt mix wearing it. The seams, in my opinion are good no additional wear from salt. They do get dirty looking fast though!
Hey Brian I was wondering if you could help me out with a estimate for 76 town homes? I have a few pictures and a brief estimate of services provide could I send it to you and you look it over. As always man love the videos.
Brian. Milwaukee needs a heated bra for the ladies and we need Milwaukee to have a review and demonstration for us. Wonder how many subscribers you would have😁
Brian's Lawn Maintenance Not too sure if you could pull off modeling a Milwaukee heated bra. Shorts, either. And don’t think the Bride would be wanting to, either!😁
