I cannot believe Milwaukee came out with a whole new battery pack to be more comfortable on your back instead of putting the battery in the front pocket.
@@SSchmidt-r7t most of the newer gear from the last year or two does have a pass through where the battery pack can be stored in a pocket under your front left pocket (not shared pocket) instead of the back pocket
Glad the video was helpful. We'd appreciate it if you consider supporting our business. We're a premier Milwaukee online retailer. We have the same prices and deals as Home Depot on these items. In fact, hit our website on Black Friday and get a deal on all Milwaukee heated apparel. www.toolnut.com/shop.html?q=m12#/filter:tn_classification:Apparel
I live in cold NW Wisconsin and so far I’ve been good with a heavy Carhartt jacket and thermal undergarments but I’ve been thinking on an electric jacket.
You don’t need it but it’s nice to have a little warmth. I’ll wear it in the fall just to have some nice warmth in the morning. Don’t really make a huge difference on days like we’ve been having in WI lately but just a nice comfort. I have just the sweatshirt and an old model and works good. Rotate 2 batteries in a day
Don't waste your money. I bought the heated jacket and took it back the very next day. If you do end up getting a hoodie or a jacket, make sure they fit very snug or you won't be able to feel any heat.
Sorry Milwaukee doesn't share info regarding tools and releases for other countries with us. Probably best to ask your local distributor and see if they know or can ask Milwaukee UK
@@kathynewburn2707 Correct you’ll need a battery with more amp hours when running the jacket on high. You might only get another hour or so though. You can also buy a M18 power source if you have M18 slim batteries (2Ah) click link below for power source. www.toolnut.com/milwaukee-49-24-2371-m18-power-source.html
I’d like to know how to shut them off completely. Even if I push the power button the battery is still communicating with the app and if I put it up for a couple of weeks they (I have2) will both be dead. If I push and hold the button it will disconnect from the app but the connection light stays on
The one in the video is the M102 HEXON series (newest) the description might be different on different sites calling it a hooded jacket or axis winter jacket, they should be the same though (could also be the older models that are being discontinued) M102 series is newest and should also say HEXON which is hooded and good for winter wear
Correct just search TOUGHSHELL, you may only be able to find the new HEXON version unless someone has last years model in stock. If not HEXON then it is last years model (older)
@@StariusPrime If you want to use the App feature it only works with Hexon Heat Technology Equipped Garments. It will still work with the non Hexon garments. Currently Milwaukee is not offering hoodies with the Hexon feature.
I don't think my axis jacket gets that warm. Also. I paid for the flat battery because the included battery was very uncomfortable. The flat battery seems to be a 2.5 hour max. It was a lot of money. I'm on the fence with keeping it. I'm 5-9 184Lbs. The medium is a little snug and the large was enormous on me.
I have the single plug. If they can’t make it work with the last model I’ll never buy another one in this “money grab”. The whole platform is already over priced and the few remaining things like the heated gear, we are getting screwed on. Sad sad sad.
Learn how to upgrade or call behind with the sheep 🤣 and all the heated gears priced closely enough for someone to pick this or the other...Milwaukee's not the only one that costs alot...dealt Bosch and Makita not ko far behind ....while also behind behind in quality 🤣 u get what you paid for learn what money grab is before calling it a money grab lmfao
I’m torn between the Toughshell and the axis jacket. My older model toughshell feels almost stiff, is the new version the same material? I do like the Axis due to it looking more of a lighter slimmer jacket. Is that the case with that jacket?
Great vid! I work on this project and you're going to absolutely love the stuff that's coming next year as well.
Top upgrades ❤
How hot do they get?
Have the holder one and wont change it... Work just fine for me. Over all its a very nice jacket

I want to see the hoodies
Can I use the new battery pack with the old jacket
@@jesussantiago7612 yes you can use the new flat pack on older heated gear. You just can’t use the app
Where do you buy the flat pack battery ?
@@LCculater Hopefully from toolnut.com if you’re in the US! If not then from any authorized Milwaukee distributor
Finally someone who actually does something vs talking the hole video
@@snoopysrc thank you!
I am getting the kit from home Depot with the heated jacket you get battery and charger m12

I like the vests better then you can layer and be even hotter

So we got a heated jacket 2 or 3 years ago. The heat last about 3 hours. I need a bigger battery or a power pack right????

Is that the axis hooded jacket or the axis winter jacket?

Can you use the old jacket with the new slim power source
Yes, it will work, you can't use the APP. To use the APP, garments must be HEXON
i think they've discontinued the camo ones, i see it is no longer available on their site
@@gtb81. SOLD OUT on our site for the season
can i use the 1.5v battery from my old jacket in my new jacket instead of the 3v? will the battery just not last as long?
Yes the newer gear still comes with the M12 adapter to fit ALL M12 batteries. 1.5Ah will just not last as long (probably only UP TO 2-6 hours)
@ 19 seconds, “that’s what she said” would have been the most appropriate response 😂
@@travisconley8088 💯💯
Where can you get the 2023 one at anyone got a link to it Thanks!!
The guy on the right has the older jacket, I want to get that one, he called it. A tough shell jacket is that the M12 12V lithium ion cordless jacket?
Correct just search TOUGHSHELL, you may only be able to find the new HEXON version unless someone has last years model in stock. If not HEXON then it is last years model (older)
Does the flatpack work with the new hoodies too?
@@StariusPrime If you want to use the App feature it only works with Hexon Heat Technology Equipped Garments. It will still work with the non Hexon garments. Currently Milwaukee is not offering hoodies with the Hexon feature.
@@toolnut is milwaukee going to be coming out with a Hexon hoodie

Do the large.
@@jasonpillow950 the sleeves were past my hands the chest was loose. You need the jacket close to the body to really feel the heat
I have the single plug. If they can’t make it work with the last model I’ll never buy another one in this “money grab”. The whole platform is already over priced and the few remaining things like the heated gear, we are getting screwed on. Sad sad sad.
The second plug is for the canbus serial port to control the individual heat levels in the pads inside. It literally has to have that second pin

By the junk ones then and have to replace every season because the elements goes or the cheap China cord side brakes.
Will the new flat pack work with the older hoodies?
Worked in my bosses old single pin hoodie
@@JordanKristenCarlson yes it will work with older heated gear just can’t use the app to control it

My older model toughshell feels almost stiff, is the new version the same material?

Toughshell material is still the same
@ appreciate the response!
@ You’re welcome, thanks for watching!!
They need to make the heat zone in the lower back as well as the upper back,not the chest, for men.
I just want a pair of heated work gloves that keep your dexterity! Not full on ski gloves
@@Derpymech Unfortunately Milwaukee discontinued their heated gloves a few years ago🫤
This would be a dream. Have you found any that are close?
The battery holders are the weakest link
Ive never seen a 6ft man fit in a medium anything properly.
And 220 pounds. Medium!?!? What! No way!!!!
