  • Everyone has been falling over themselves to say nice things about the new Milwaukee Tools M12 Heated Softshell, and the Heated Axis Layering System. But Rob from Coptool is NOT convinced. He's got 5 reasons you should NEVER buy this Milwaukee M12 Heated Jacket.
    But if you DO want to buy it, you should buy it from OhioPowerTool.com where they are currently running a promotion that gives you a free extra battery so you can keep the heat on!

I work in a barely heated shop all day as an auto mechanic, where I occasionally have to go outside also. I would love a Milwaukee heated jacket! Thanks for the informative video!

Even in the not so cold California, working in such conditions during winter is not fun. I highly suggest this jack to everyone in the trade.

    I own 2 and loved them until the heating elements broke for both in less than a year each. I just use them as regular jackets now but they work just as well because of the good insulation. For me I have to layer another bigger jacket on top of the Milwaukee during really cold weather to get the best results.

Haha but on a serious note I bought one of the heated hoodies for my work I am an HVAC technician and plumber and oh man this hoodie comes in handy! Just one situation where it shined the most, I was servicing a rooftop unit for no heat on a chilling day it was 25 degrees out with the wind chill made it feel like 10! All I had in the van was my thick jacket and Milwaukee winter hat! I quickly through a battery in my hoodie put the jacket on as an over layer and man I was sweating 😂! Worked great 👍 pair it up with insulated Milwaukee gloves and it's perfect! All I use is Milwaukee for my everyday job and my side business! Great tools and awesome customer service 👍. I really enjoyed the video too! Great job you guys!

    I recently took a job working construction when I moved back to Upstate NY. Working in conventional, bulky winter gear is exhausting. With a toddler at home and a new baby on the way, I can't afford to buy one of these - despite the fact that I stand at the store and stare longingly at them. It sure would be nice to come home a little more energized and a lot more warm. I'll think of you all everytime I pop in a new battery and get nestled in with my little boy and newborn baby... and my wife... and my pets. I'd better grab some extra batteries.

      Mike Bihg out of my Truck...... I have my truck set up to do mobile install/ repair on vehicles, RV’s of all types, and home audio/ electronics /smart home items etc. if you have ever worn one of these things......after lunch when the sun comes out on the right day even without the heat they are hot enough you are sweating bad. I wear fitted under armour most days so I’m used to shedding the jacket for a few hours. So it got tossed in the back seat or right in the bed of my truck on top of my tool box drawer system and next morning went to grab, and gone.
      Drives me nuts, I checked and I don’t think it was an issue of “misplacing” it.... my customers would tell me. So that narrows it down to another contractor or hired guy. Next one I will get embroidered with logo or something.

    I have the hoodie, my wife has the shell jacket.
    They are MEH at best. We work outside and in the winter you can’t even feel the heating elements.
    The only way you can feel them is if it’s on high, your wearing a lightweight shirt, and another something over top of them.
    If you are layered up you will not even be able to tell it’s on. Here’s my layering to put this into perspective.
    Cotton tank/beater, long John or fleece thermal base layer, thermal long sleeve, then hoodie. And I can’t feel the heating elements.
    If I go inside, or sit in my truck to warm my feet and hand, after about 5-10 minutes and the pressure of sitting against the elements you will feel them. But once you get back out into the cold. Nope.
    One thing I found that works is to wear a tank top, lightweight dry fit type shirt, heated hoodie, then another hoodie on top. Then I can feel the heat. But at that point the two hoodies is cumbersome and hard to work in.
    Oh, not to mention that M12 battery and adaptor is like carrying a brick in your pocket. Or rib cage I should say as they have the pocket in a weird spot.
    It’s a great hoodie for sitting around a camp fire, at a hockey rink, driving in the truck, etc. but for actual outdoor work use. I would not recommend.

    I have one of the older heated coats. I like it, but i found myself not grabbing it often, I think it was to stiff for me. I would love to try this new stuff. At least like a full zip hoodie with heat. Layering is the key

    @coptool I Would love a Milwaukee m12 heated jacket for the cold weather we get here in western NY, I think it would be great for when I’m out plowing snow or fixing equipment in a snow bank! I would probably wear it out Snowmobiling as well and out helping my local snowmobile club with trail work and grooming.

    I NEED this jacket! Let me say that working outside when the temps get into the 30's is BRUTAL (LOL) when you are used to the Phoenix summers of 115 degrees. I am originally from Michigan and truly understand cold but I can honestly say that there are times that the winters in AZ can feel just as cold as Michigan winters. All joking aside I could really use this jacket and would love to win it. Great video keep up the great reviews.

    As a commercial refrigeration service tech I need one of these to keep me from freezing inside of walk-in boxes no matter how much I layer up in jackets I'm never able to keep my core warm enough and end up having to take breaks after a few hours when my hands get to the point where I can't even grip something, core gets cold blood flow slows, blood flow slows and hands begin to freeze faster this jacket would be a complete life saver and used year round not just the colder months

  • @davidhoman3807

    I treated myself to an early Christmas present, as they are a little pricey, and bought the model 302G-21L, dark gray hoodie, this was the only model that Home Depot was selling in the store, they were also selling XL. After I bought it I discovered they make red ones which I would’ve preferred. It came with the 1.5 battery, which gives a heating time of two hours, four hours, and I’m guessing six hours on the three settings. I have only ran the battery to empty on the highest and the middle settings. Love it, got to get my wife one!
    Also found out you can get an M 18 adapter, and of course you can always Use any of the higher powered M 12 batteries.

    I have been trying to get one of these in the metro area Home Depot stores for a Christmas gift for my outdoor working guy in Iowa where temps seem to change by 40 degrees day by day.......and they have been sold out non-stop.
    Now from this video I am learning that these jackets come in women's versions.......oh yeah, now that makes two wishes!!💕

  • @tonyrodriguez4716
    @tonyrodriguez4716 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I would give it to my pops. He works on a dairy ranch and works rain or shine and when it rains over there it pores. Especially in the fall/ winter time he's out there 5-530am while most of us are still dreaming in our comfortable nice and warm beds. He does a lot of manuel labor, always moving around so the jacket with the tough shell is the one he needs to hold working around unpredictable livestock where it's always muddy. The tough shell jacket would keep him very warm all day especially when he's separating cattle while riding horses or quad with all that cold wind hitting his body. Thanks" COP" for the video review and the chance to win one, I know who ever wins will love the jacket!

    I need one b/c I'm currently remolding a house from foundation to the roof. The house is right next to the interstate with lot of cold wind coming from all the cars driving. The house have no HVAC and it won't into awhile. House has been gutted to the bone no installation so all the element from the outside are inside the house. This jacket will help make my job more enjoyable and get things done faster. Thank you.

    LOVE LOVE LOVEEEE my (2nd gens?) jacket as well as the hoodie for those Autum mornings/evenings. Even after 3+ years they are still very much like new. Do not miss the days of climbing power poles in normal bulky jackets. Just wish I knew there was the new rain proof version when I got mine and I might have held off for this instead. Not to mention the realtree camo versions I’ve been considering haha.

    I got my XL jacket last year for an outer layer it works but it's too big I lost so much weight that my parents wasn't sure if I was a L or XL so they got me an XL, today I wanted the vest but I got the hoodie because I wanted my heat to be my inner layer so I broke down and I bought the hoodie.
    Now I havw a heat hoodie that I wear undet my jacket and three 3ah batteries as well as two 1.5 AH batteries so on extremely cold days I can be warm by having both my jacket and hoodie on!
