It was not so long ago that the idea of a competent cordless saw was more wish than reality. Many was the time I heard the sad whine of a weak saw bogging down in a piece of 1″x pine at the lumber yard. Now tool and battery technology has advanced to a point where […]
I received a pair of KEEN Footwear’s Davenport boots for review and have been wearing them for nearly 6 weeks; working on hard packed dirt, concrete, gravel, and rough wood surfaces. They are my first pair of newer-tech boots and they are quite different than the traditional leather ankle-highs that I have been wearing for many […]
Music on a jobsite was once a luxury not allowed by many old school builders, but now nearly a necessity for many of us. It seems that all the major power tool companies have entered the jobsite audio market with radio/speaker sets with Bluetooth connectivity and auxiliary inputs to handle just about any audio source. Ryobi’s […]
We first heard of Milwaukee’s new hydraulic (“oil pulse”) driver, the Surge™, through an inadvertent leak from the Home Depot web site that had a page posted several weeks too early.

It was June of 2015 when we were first allowed a peek at the prototype of the M18 Fuel miter saw at the 2015 New Product Symposium. Photos were not allowed, nor any sampling of the tool, but we were impressed to see it cut a 5/4 x 12 fir stair tread with ease. Then […]
Milwaukee gave us an early look at their new M18 Fuel™ 7″ Variable Speed Polisher at the New Product Symposium for 2016. Due in July of this year, it’s an impressive machine for the kit of an automotive detailer or anyone who likes a nice, professional finish on their painted sheet metal. While it looks similar […]
If Milwaukee’s New Product Symposium for 2016 was a movie and I was voting for the Academy Awards, I would give Best Actor to the M18 Fuel™ Compound Miter Saw, with the Best Supporting Role going to the M18 Fuel™ Drywall Screwgun. On the production side, Milwaukee’s jobsite lighting solutions would again carry the day.
It’s hard to pick a […]

Milwaukee Tool has been supplying tools for the plumbing and electrical trades since 1924, but continues to expend considerable energy in improving existing stalwarts like pipe wrenches, adjustable wrenches, hack saws, tubing cutters and the like. One might wonder how such basic tools could be made better, but the designs of even the most basic tools […]
