Milwaukee M12 Heated Jacket

I thank you for checking out this video, Im just your average guy having Fun with tools. I test tools out to see what these tools can do, and what they can't do. Please Subscribe to the channel and get that tool fix here. Have a great day!

[@roccoreid2842]

The cord allows you to put it in the front pocket if you're sitting. Most people in the cold are not going to be sitting, so the back makes more sense as the primary location for the battery.

[@fifis101]

Yeah it's in the label that you can do that. Well it was on mine anyway.

[@desg6357]

Unless your sitting in a freezer on a forklift lol

[@mrrod3004]

you cant even use your pocket then why tf didnt they hadd itn on the chest jacket i cant stick my hand in my pockets now to warm up this thins a pos got one today its going straight back. missing battery and the cable for the charger

[@vmax673]

I got mine’s Christmas 2020 and i love it!! You don’t even have to turn the heat on and its so nice and thick m12 jacket

Its true.... in warmer moments the battery isn't even needed. Good shell too it can take a beating

[@jamaicanempress2334]

I bought mine. I'm excited to try it tonight

[@heavylevy1282]

I’m also impressed with the tough shell jacket, but that does not mean the hoodies sucks. For what it, is it is actually very nice, and I am really enjoying mine. I got the hoodie kit at international tool last winter for around $100. I would not pay full price for it but if you find a good deal it is worth it. Especially if you do not have the $200 for the tough shell jacket.

[@ManCaverTools]

its a nice jacket and it will do the trick

[@fortunatedad7695]

It's a great jacket! I've had mine for a few years now. If you are working outside, slap in a 6amp battery and your good! I'm currently testing how long you get with 6amp on high and so far I'm 90 minutes in and it's only down 1 dot (using a waitley knock off battery). Didn't get more than 2 hours with the 2 amp and was annoying having to change out the battery so often.

[@ManCaverTools]

I tries using the bigger batteries today in the hoodie and I was a huge bulge lol

[@fortunatedad7695]

@@ManCaverTools yes it does lol For me it's practicality over looks. When I'm working out in the cold, the last thing I care about is how I look :). When going running errands I don't require as much power, then using the smaller batteries does the job 👍

[@PFab]

I wonder if you can run an extension cord to relocate the battery. Only issue would be a cord dangling around. I'm sure there's ways around this.

[@fortunatedad7695]

[@rebellaxbro]

Great video as always Dave. I agree this jacket is amazing, living in Wisconsin I HIGHLY recommend as well. Heavy as a winter coat on top of being heated. This jacket hands down beats your everyday northface on top of being higher quality for a lower price compared. About the hoodie, considering how heavy this jacket is, I think Milwaukee wanted to make a lighter weight jacket for people living in warmer climates that still want a heated jacket. Not everyone lives in northern states like us lol. Also, I think they put the battery in back as to not get in the way of the normal pockets and so it sticks out as little as possible. You like guns, Dave, how many people carry small of back? It’s a common spot bc it’s out of the way and concealable, you can even small of back carry with this coat on if you’re right handed.

[@ManCaverTools]

northern Illinois and Wisconsin get harsh winters so this this jacket is perfect for us.

[@Tony-sy7ed]

Do your pocket warmers get as warm as the back warmer? Wondering if I need to exchange for a different jacket. Admittedly I’m a baby when it comes to my hands getting cold. The current jacket I have, the pocket warmers are almost useless in 40*F weather. Is this your experience or do you feel like the pockets on your jacket get just as warm as the back?

[@ManCaverTools]

pockets, chest and back. it really is a useful jacket and yes it get the pockets really warm

[@Matanumi]

Pocket warmers work fine.... they work better with hand heaters inside

[@Tony-sy7ed]

For size reference, how tall are you? Also, were you still wearing the fleece underneath the Milwaukee jacket? Iv heard some people say they run big but Iv also heard people say Milwaukee purposely runs small so the heat can be closer to your body eliminating the layering. Very confusing.

[@ManCaverTools]

im 6ft 1" you do want these to be a little snug on your body. so the heating elements can be pressed on your body

[@Matanumi]

I'm 198cm....large fits better but is too short

86 degrees is very good. Add another jacket over it & you should push lower 90s

They sent me a second and it was the same.... the only thing I noticed is the versions we have in the UK are not the same as the US.

I disagree on battery location Howard construction for a living and if you move that battery to the front it's going to catch on everything you're working on and be pushed into your stomach and everything else a little discomfort on your side while driving it's much better than all day discomfort when you're working

Im Debating on getting the m12 axis jacket or hardshell idk and a m12 cp3.0 battery because it says it runs for 8 hours on low with the 2.0 so with my math a 3.0 will last 10 hoursnot saying ill be outside for 10 hours but i dont wanna charge my batteries every 3 days

[@rebellaxbro]

Check the different heat zones, the axis has shoulder heat but no hand warmers, the one Dave reviewed has chest and back together as one zone and a second front pocket hand zone. That’s why I chose this hard shell one. You can turn them on and off separately as well.

[@ManCaverTools]

that is up to you. there is a big price difference

[@DamionJR4923]

Is there a difference between the standard m12 3.0 battery and the m12 3.0 CP battery?

[@johnargumaniz9179]

It’s the size only. 3.0 amps is 3.0 amps. One would want the non cp because it has the bigger base like the 4&6 but obviously the cp would be better suited for tighter spots

[@DamionJR4923]

John Argumaniz I didn’t know if one was better for higher drain like a saw and one was better for slow drain like a rotary tool.

[@rebellaxbro]

Compact has three high capacity batteries and the other has 6 low capacity batteries but bc of having more, has a higher output of power bc it has double the cells to evenly pull power from. The bigger batteries will give your tool more power if it’s fuel/ brushless but that’s also a downside bc they are bigger.

[@DamionJR4923]

rebellaxbro Thanks I have some xc 3.0. They fit in my heated coat but unfortunately. They seem run in the coat way longer than the 2.0. Almost twice as long. I was wondering if the CP 3.0 would do the trick.

[@gotsm9959]

You actually don't need this because you already have this build in to your body called muscles and when you combine a coat and work you get entropy. The summer his a different story and you I would definitely recommend a magic vest because your ability to compensate for cold is better than your ability to compensate for hot as a mammal. The only reason I would use heated vest is for camping because I would be asleep and not creating significant heat energy.
