- Finally got my hands on the all. Ew MADE IN THE USA Milwaukee hand tools!! First off must say I’m impressed with the quality!! Haven’t gotten them out in the field yet, but will be breaking them in this week. Will do a short video over the course of a month or so just to see how they hold up to the weather conditions in Florida, and the abuse of an HVAC technician. I’m excited to see how they hold up @MilwaukeeTool

Stumbled across this embarrassing fanboy vid, I feel awkwardly uncomfortable for this guy
Why?! 🤦🏼♂️ don’t feel uncomfortable for me I’m doing just fine bub 🤣 😂
I’m onboard with some brand loyalty when it comes to what cordless platforms I choose, as for the rest I gotta go on a tool by tool basis.
It’s all good though brother, best of luck in all your endeavors.. Cheers!!
Made in USA doesn't mean quality...just look at our cars. Made in America just means more expensive.
😂 pretty true statement. Most our cars are filled with global junk tho 🤷🏼♂️
😂😂😂 as a tech for VW working in t UK I recall my foreman once telling me (approx 20 yrs ago) just how well build old American cars are. Whilst it's sad to hear this is no longer t case I'm not too surprised tbh. This is t same everywhere now. For example Chinese MG cars are being sold for really cheap/ subsidised here in t uk to any other EV car, this is certainly yet another step backwards in engineering quality.
Good products Jake ... I still have my very 1st Klein 9'' Linesman pliers that I bought in Oct 1971 and they still cut like butter ... But like me , they're retired ... Thx
Definitely can stand the test of time!! That’s wild tho Eddy, you enjoy that retired life brother 🫡
Enjoyed this review!
Appreciate it Ted!
I shop only at Lowes don't have any other place to go where I live great place for tools
You’re the exception Don lol not the rule!! In my area the depot and Lowe’s are across the street from each other, there’s a lot like that in central Florida it’s weird now that I think of it!
I read an article about Milwaukee opening a US plant to manufacture hand tools and subsequently forgot about it until I saw this vid in my feed. Very cool and the tools look great. Too bad Stanley didn’t pull Made in USA off for Craftsman.
I’d say for their first release and line up it’s pretty good stuff 👍🏻 I was disappointed about the craftsman to, especially after they built the facility and all!
You should do an entire Milwaukee tool review that would be epic!
Now that’s an idea 😳 may have to just do it!!
Great Video Time To Go Out And Buy More Tools = )
Sounds about right 🤣
Didnt even know these tools existed. Definitely getting loaded up on some. Nice seeing American made again.
Make sure to test the ones in store, with how “broken in” they are some are tight might have to sift through a couple!! These are my daily tools right now
These screwdrivers are awesome. I hope they offer more sizes eventually.
Their pretty good ergonomically, I think they have a total of 9 so longer shafts and different tip sizes for sure 👍🏻
Lowe’s does have some good tools too
I find myself slowly migrating towards Lowe’s more often!
Team black and yellow.....had to be "that guy" its all love....awesome video Jake
🤣 I’m going to need you to leave Jason 😂 thanks bro you the man! Keep crushing it dude
@@KoolinwithKrauss 😁😆🤣😅😄
Nice vid. I have the chinesium linesman from Milwaukee and they suck balls. Might try the new ones 👍
In my first week much better then those I can assure. Haven’t missed a beat between these and Kleins. 👍🏻
Very much enjoyed this hand tool tutorial my brother Krauss!!! I just got the Milwaukee clamp meter from Home Depot and I love it way better than the Klein ones! The Klein meters the dials on them always lock up after a few months for some reason!!!🤔 anyway good talking to my main HVAC brother on TH-cam!! Later!!!!
Ayyyeeee!!! always wanted to test out the Milwaukee meters, they have a pretty big line up! Haven’t ever used the Klein, kind of disappointing to hear that about their meters but as always brother appreciate you 🫡 let’s gooo
Let’s go team red👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Red nation bro 🫡 🇺🇸
Milwaukee does make quality stuff. Hard to beat Knipex but that’s like comparing apples to oranges. Great video Jake the 🐍
I can get behind these! Not a fan of their other hand tools to much, own very few a lot more knipex and Klein, wera/wiha!! Appreciate you B-Rye
I remember when I was in HVAC school Klein came in to do presentations and they was like "PROUDLY MADE IN THE USA!" and then hand out stuff that was made in china for us to look at LOL
🤣 nooooooo??? Ain’t that some BS 🤦🏼♂️ it’s like the whole “designed, and engineered in the USA, manufactured globally” like c’mon now 😂
@@KoolinwithKrauss or the "assembled in USA from global components" which means they do 99% of the work in china and import it so an American can put one screw in it and not have to mark it "made in china"
I’ve been abusing my set and they have held up💪. I even use the large flat as a beater, and the tip has held up great! My only complaint is the packaging. It’s so hard to get the drivers out, I ended up cutting 2 of mine fresh out the package.
The packaging is the worse with all the tools 🤦♂️ I’m always nervous I’ll cut something to!! But these have been my dailies, and have been aolid
If poopin's your game, Lowes takes the cake. Big fan of the Toughbuilt lineup too.
🤣 you are not lying about that!! Toughbuilt is slick, waiting on some more stack tech to drop, can’t find any at my local
@@KoolinwithKrauss
Yeah man, here's to girl managers & customers whose diet doesn't consist solely of Budweiser & Taco Bell.
The clip pouches are great for remodeling. I have a full Occidental rig that's great, but just big and awkward for alot of work.
They're stuffs kinda in the nifty pro-sumer range but alot of it is really solid & very affordable.
i see those electrical pliers are they making any made in usa plumbing tools?
I hope so!! I think they’re just starting with basics for now, not sure how far they’ll take it.
I would like to see the USA Milwaukee screwdriver set tested against Tought Built screwdriver set. I'm very impressed with the Tough Built screwdrivers
I was looking at them, starting to get more intrigued by the toughbuilt brand, was just the utility knife’s at first then the clip tech and now their stack tech! Thanks for the suggestion
My local Home Depot has had zero Klein for quite a while now.
The depot letting a lot of the tools move on over to Lowe’s.
I have some screw drivers by Milwaukee...my 5 yr old loves them ....the pliers look like a pile of Cresent tools ...I'll stick with Stanley and that Walmart brand drill lol
But is it Merica made??? 🤣 hyper tough for the win son 😂
I wonder if these pliers are manufactured by Channellock and rebranded for Milwaukee.
they’ve built a manufacturing facility in West Bend, Wisconsin specifically for this line with plans on expanding it, we shall see 🤔
Tools are nice but I personally went with all channellock for my pliers except Klein wire strippers. I will be making a switch to Knipex at some point but for now very content with channellock. For screwdrivers I use Milwaukee’s 13 in 1 and Klein insulated screwdrivers. Milwaukee screwdrivers are too bulky for my liking.
I’d say these new drivers are much better than those ones, wasn’t a fan either. If I were to upgrade it would definitely be to knipex as well, by far my favorite pliers 👍🏻 thanks for watching
When I started in the trade all Milwaukee was made in the states... then the cordless line their Gen 1 cordless with the hatchet Sawzall... they fell off and then China stepped in
That’s wild, can only dream about it one day
0:59 definitely a different crowd at Lowe’s.
😂 right? I just like to mess with those that seem to get upset about it!! Big Orange is my go to, but if I have to I’ll swing into the blue box
@@KoolinwithKrauss Menards (for supplies), Depot (for tools), Local hardware store, Then Lowe’s (only if I have to)
Not a Lowes guy myself… I just don’t like many of the tool offerings there, and the Home Depot employees are better in my town.
Those diagonals look mean, I like the look of them.
Great Video Brother Man 👍👍
I know that’s right!! But I know I’ll be sneaking that way when that tough built stack tech comes out 😳
Got a little broken it, they open much wider for more leverage should have showed that.
Appreciate you as always bro 🫡
@@KoolinwithKrauss I know, that ToughBuilt stuff looks crazy good… My Lowes doesn’t have any yet.
@MORGANSMaintenance right?? I think I read somewhere between the 19th and 23rd
Milwaukee fans going to be crazy and ignore the fact the rest of the tools are not made in the usa
😂 red chyyy-NA!!!
And the fact milwaukee is a Chinese owned company raking in the profits lol
Sorry it's owned by China 🇨🇳 it hasn't been a American company in over 25 years you buy China Milwaukee support China these tools are made in China packaged and they laser engrave the USA on the tools, I seen the video there nowhere that you see melted metal being pored in molds nor any of the rubber or plastic either only a fool would believe China
Pretty sure milwaukee announced thier usa made tools...
@@121dodgers They can announce all they want they're made in China 🇨🇳 packaged and laser cut usa on the tools
If they step up the quality then yes but Milwaukee isn’t there yet. And it’s a shame because the best country should have the best tools???
Preach!!!
Our local lowes has an old guy working there that Knows his shit. Cool dude. Occasionally Lowes will have something I need that the Homeless Despot doesnt but being a Milphucky guy I am at the HD a lot. Theres a guy with idk.. an eye injury(?) maybe blind in one eye? in the lumber dept that is a solid dude. Needed a fridge in a pinch 30 mins before closing n he made it happen. But both places here hire mostly kids that dont know shit about shit.
Sooo true 🤣it’s hit or miss depending on which location you go to. I’ve found myself recently going to Lowe’s more just because it’s closer to my job sites. But yeah I’m red china guy and love the depot , but they are just letting the good brands walk to Lowe’s.
@@KoolinwithKrauss ahhh lol see ace is a stones throw from my house but more expensive with less selection. Lowes n Hd are across our small town but across the street from eachother lol so if one doesnt have what I need I go across the street. Super convenient.
@@handsmcneilsame with my ace, man you got it made just tool hopping lol
@@KoolinwithKrauss haha youre not kidding. My bank account loves it.
I like milwaukee power tools, not the hand tools. Klein, Rigid, Knipex, and Malco are what's in my tool bags.
Definitely l! I think these are worth a shot so far, my bag 99% is Klein and knipex as well
Milwaukee’s hand tools suck when they break, hope you saved your receipts in order to be able to get some warranty on it. I had a ratchet break recently and Milwaukee was requesting I give them a receipt and all sorts of information, I don’t know where I bought it from, I threw out the receipt years ago. They SUCK stay away from them. I’ll stick to hand tools that I can still go to the local hardware store exchange, craftsman or husky.
Good to know!! I haven’t had an issue when I buy the products from the depot and go warranty them. Only have done with a Klein driver and Klein cable cutters. also a Milwaukee hammer drill m18 gen3 Other than that I don’t have experience, but if it’s like that, I’ll definitely be sure to keep the receipts, what a hassle
You know who makes them now lol it’s Klein screwdriver and channel lock is making the pliers.
Say it ain’t so man?! 😂
Dumb take on Lowe's, they carry a ton more hand tools and more than one or two brands to chose from
Sarcasm/satire 🤦♂️ I regularly go to Lowe’s 😂
@@KoolinwithKrauss i have found here in central Texas that I can stop in at a particular Lowe's and that particular store will have certain hand tools and another across town may have the same and a ton of other options. I could stop again a month or two later at theoar same stores and the amount of selections be completely different.
Looks like they just coppied klien tools to the tee.
They were pretty similar 🤔
or Rebranded tools.
Buddy, you are pretty salty about everyone shopping at the blue store, with the ”nicer trucks”, and the “garage toobers”. Bud, you every tool I see in the background is new or still in the package.
Bud you must not watch my videos buddy 🤣 just popped in for this one, the tools I use for my work I do keep in boxes and I wipe them down 👍🏻 good try tho 🤦🏼♂️
@@KoolinwithKrauss buddy, I don’t. Just thought I’d state the obvious and show the irony in your saltiness.
its ok babe everyone has their niche and yours is tools @@KoolinwithKrauss you work hard to provide for our family and anyones opinions about your "saltiness" is just that..God forbid someone take a joke in 2023.. dont even acknowledge negativity.. you arent that person❤
@@lifegoeson05 must be a Lowe’s shopper getting 🤣 that’s what it is
@@KoolinwithKrauss Blue doesn’t sell the Red I like. I’m guessing it’s the reason why the video was suggested.
I’m guessing yall can’t take a joke in 2023.
I love me some home depot but it's filled with house wifes Lowe's is for the trades
😂 noooo!! Their probably all in cahoots with one another 🤦🏼♂️
Still a chinese owned company lol
Yep 👍🏻 😂
imo Wera handles suck.
I do like the handles, I’m a sucker for Klein tho also
