ikepete Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 So recently in the last few months I found out I'm going to be laid off. With the lay off I'm getting schooling paid for. I've decided to go into electrical. Not sure what direction I'll go with my degree, but I'm excited. Anyway, sant heard what I wanted to do and brought me a little present.

ikepete Posted December 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 On a side note it would be fun to win one of the tools in the giveaways even if they aren't Milwaukee RedSent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 Milwaukee makes great hand tools 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikepete Posted December 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 I also got some other tools I'll post later. It's always fun to get tools. This year I asked for specific tools. Iv learned that if I want quality tools I need to be specific when I ask for tools from family. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicolasRamos Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 Sweet. I have the same Insulated set. I had to go on a call with one of our other service guys last year, and forgot my insulated Kleins. Stopped at HD and picked those up. Very good for the money! Can't go wrong with a fastback knife either! Have not tried the strippers, but they look nice. Good luck on your new journey!

JimboS1ice Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 I got a large set of the insulated Milwaukee Drivers quite a few of us picked up on eBay for a steal of a price, they aren't bad at all, not on par with my WIHA insulated but not bad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wally13 Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 The insulated screwdrivers are super nice. I really enjoy most of Milwaukees hand tools. Some need minor improvements but for the most part, are great tools. Love the lifetime warranty on them too.Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wally13 Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 True but you get a fair amount of use out of them. Still less expensive than the Klein electrical tools.Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 9 piece retails for $270Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works great if you want to keep a light service pouch. I generally would use it with my 3.5" nut drivers, and torx bits in my small service pouch.

Package 1 of 4 arrived today! So I was trying different cuts and am very excited about being able to cut 4x4 posts now. Then I tried different batteries. Cutting the 4x4, the 9.0 was flawless, 5.0 flawless, 4.0 no problem, 3.0 had to move slow thru wood, but it made the cut... the 1.5 ah wouldn't even keep the blade spinning; the light flickered and as soon as the blade touched the wood it shut down. Guess you can't use ALL M18 batteries. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
