NEW MILWAUKEE ELECTRICIAN TOOLS THAT YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT! (Shock Warning)

NEW MILWAUKEE ELECTRICIAN TOOLS THAT YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT! (Shock Warning)
At Acme tools spring sale we were given an overview of some new Milwaukee electrician tools by our friend Chris! Let us know in the comments section below if you knew about these new Milwaukee tools.

[@meagain6028]

Never in my wildest dreams (especially as a semi retired drywaller) would i thought i would be wowed by a fish tape! Lol

[@VCGConstruction]

Pretty crazy right!?!?

[@thetruth5210]

Southwire one is better, and I feel like I need to take a shower after saying that. The Southwire’s tape is high viz. tennis ball green/yellow much easier to see and identify in low light or no light situations. Now if I could get over the embarrassment of owning anything from Southwire enough to carry one on the job site, instead of using my nylon fish tape from Klein...😳

[@Ellie-Tv]

Thumbs up for every time we've (electrician's) pushed a steel fishtape into a energized panel.

[@starvethebeast6480]

I love the concept of the rod cutter, but honestly nothing is better than a band saw. You can't strap a bundle of 6 to 8 pieces of 3/8 rod to a pipe vice and saw through them all with a rod cutter. It may have it's place on a smaller scale, but for bigger jobs, the bandsaw is the way to go. Besides, it's more versatile because you can cut all sorts of pipe and strut with it too.

[@juancampos9742]

That fish tape is awesome. I would like to see it tested going through conduit while some conductors are in it. Would it struggle and not make it all the way through? It looks like it bends easily

[@phillypauly]

I love the VCG videos- the hype is ALWAYS warranted

[@billyhighfill]

Love the patriotism brother!!!

[@kkutube1972]

I am a Dewalt guy but find myself switching to Milwaukee. Thanks for the video.

[@VCGConstruction]

Thanks Keith!!

[@johnkulpowich5260]

30 years ago everything had to be Milwaukee. Than DeWalt. I can back Milwaukee

[@lowvoltagedude7837]

That treaded rod cutter is what's up guys game changer. I'm always cutting treaded rod with my bandsaw and always checking with a nut. This would save some time and energy. clean cuts no metal shavings I would buy it this for sure 😎 with that non conductive fish tape you should do a video with 40%conduit fill 3/4 200ft run and 3 90 that would be enough proof. Buying something like that would be awesome!!! If it can really replace the steal fish tape.

[@VCGConstruction]

I’ll have to find out more about the fishtape!!

[@luisbarba2271]

Miliwakee is very good brand to have those brand and is great awesome

[@benchrysler3940]

But the rod cutter can only cut rod a bandsaw can cut so much more

[@collincoats9000]

But how well does the nylon fish tape crawl up inside a wall. I work LV and often find myself trying to go to the top of a wall from a hole I just made in the wall. It just doesn’t seem sturdy enough to get through the insulation.

[@mjc8761]

Nice!! Milwaukee is coming out with great products

[@VCGConstruction]

❤️

[@andyfam5613]

I just drove my metallic fishtape into a live panel today at work lol.

[@jbdragon3295]

I have to do that at times myself, into a 480V panel. It's a Food factory, I can't just kill the power. I normally get another person at the panel to watch, which I have the front covered in Cardboard where I hope it deflects the Fish tape. It's worked for many years. But I'm going to look into this plastic tape role to use for times I need to fish to inside the panel. In fact I have another 4, 480V 3-Phase runs to do yet again soon.

[@jcmarth1]

There were no fish hurt during the making of this video !!! Good job guys.

[@VCGConstruction]

🤣🤣

[@mikekedian1221]

Awesome man also have conduit benders as well! Really cool to see that threded rod cutter in action to!

[@thetruth5210]

I don’t see me ever buying any electrical tools from Milwaukee because they don’t care about utilities they care about branding (with that said I do love my fastback, measuring tapes and inkzall). I feel bad for the Milwaukee fan boy it’s got to be hard when everything is red and black in your tool bag to find anything quickly. Of all the colors to pick for the leader why would you choose a dark color except for branding purposes and it “looks cool”? If I am going to go pop ceiling tile and pull wire through conduit I would like to be able to see my leader when I put it down the pipe, I have every glow-in-the-dark Klein tool specifically for working in low light and no light situations and being able to see my tools so they don’t get left behind. A red and black tool bag completely outfitted with red and black tools, that’s a hard pass. The Southwire simpull tape is better and don’t even like southwire!

[@walter201175]

what ?

[@thetruth5210]

@walterNZ J Color branding bad, high visibility good. Does that clear it up?

[@ElectricianTV]

awesome video thanks i love milawukee

[@MiguelArcangelVilled]

If you're on the job site and you're using different sizes of rods changing it Everytime can be a time hassle, they should make one where you can just stick any type of rod in it and I'll adjust to it's size

[@shawnowens4818]

I live in Plymouth MN and got to see you at work Vince, can't wait to see you again man

[@VCGConstruction]

Were you one of the guys building the Pergola?

[@11bravoNRD]

The polyester fishtape has peaked my interest. I need the VCG to torture test it though before I buy. Shove it through some different size conduit, make it go through 360 degrees of bends, pull some wire with it, what's the tare strenth of the head or tape itself, is there anyway I can repair it if the head breaks off? That's is a plus metal has. Broke the head? Ok cut it and bend a new one.

[@kingofthecrease30]

CONGRATS TO VCG ON 66,000 SUBSCRIBERS !!! 👍👍

Alabaster right ? I was just thinking the same I would of loved it if they made one fiberglass instead just like ideal one

[@VCGConstruction]

We should test it!!

[@xseedlingx]

You should ! It doesn't seem like it would be rigid enough imo @@VCGConstruction

[@thetruth5210]

The tape it rips off from Southwire simpull can go though corkscrews made out of 90s! Simpull is also hiviz yellow/green not black so it is easy to find.

27 years in the Electrical trade .......I REALLY want to try that fish tape (I've never seen a nylon fish tape before.....((((( sad they didn't have a conduit set up to push it through with some offsets and a 90 so you could test it out.......I want to see what this nylon will do.

[@ForFucksSake57591]

I love that fish tape! I got the 200ft poly with flexible lead. Best one I’ve ever bought. To bad I’ll never use my other fish tapes again 🤷🏼‍♂️

Milwaukee is king in tools

[@johnkulpowich5260]

Again. They did lose it 20 years ago

[@filibertoramirez7407]

The fish tape is awesome!!! But I wish a company would finally make a powered cordless of course and a Milwaukee fan preferably M12 powered fish tape. Every electrician knows those how awesome a 250ft tape is but they also know how big of a pain in the ass it is to unroll and roll back up.

[@VCGConstruction]

👍🏻🤣

[@lilcourtny08]

That is what a apprentice is for. Really not a need for that. Get your helper to roll up the fish tape.

Recently started apprenticing an electrician and i have to say i only buy milwaukee tools..not going to lie milwaukee has been upsetting the stud tapes do not have marks on each side and no magnet,(also have returned 2 in two weeks) that would be nice. My bits break up pretty fast..i really hate spending a couple dollars here and there replacing a milwaukee tool i buy them because iv always felt they were best, not so sure anymore. Recently turned 25 and had my second little girl. Hopefully milwaukee works just a little bit smarter and bring a good electrician line of tools..great vids keep em coming brother!

[@HaloMediaAgency]

Tip from apprentice to apprentice: you can have your favourite brand (Milwaukee is mine too) but at the same time you have to know which company makes the superior tool. I love Milwaukee but almost all my bits are Dewalt because I know they make the best bits. Another good example are pliers again I love Milwaukee but I have Klein because they make arguably the best linesman plier. Thats just my two cents cheers

How to you get a new tip on the non conductive fish tape? People usually cut the steel fish tape and bend it to make a head.

Mate another great vid. Milwaukee get so many sales from your vids. I see it on your vid and I’m off down my local Milwaukee tool shop. And sometimes they have to go looking to see up the catalog because I’m asking about tools that have barely hit the market here in Oz. Keep up the great work.

Those nonconductive fishtapes are also great in aluminum rigid conduit. The metal fishtapes bind up in the offsets & 90s.

[@Cute_BB907]

That polyester fish tape is not very good. Ex: if your fishing it far or in alot of bends it'll go half way and won't go no more and because it's so flexible you can't really force it in. That's where we use the metal one. Bc you can force the metal one better than you can force the polyester one.

[@coltonkimber5490]

Kinga got a chubby from that fish tape. I just wonder how well it'll hold up to being pulled with your lines. Looks super flexible, but is it flexible enough to wrap around the handles of your lines so you don't have to grip it with the plyer grooves?

[@TEHSTONEDPUMPKIN]

I've never really understood the point of those threaded rod cutters. I cut a fair amount of it and I just use a cordless band saw. M12's are lightweight easy to use one handed, and have other purposes other than just rod. And 9/10 times, their good the first time, occasionally I have to run a dye over them if it slips the threads, but its not that big of a deal or all that common in my opinion.
