Love the channel and the videos. The Milwaukee demo driver/chisel has what people think is anti roll, it is anti roll in the sense it won’t roll but the most important and missed function of it is that if it’s on the ground on a jobsite (much more likely than you worrying about it falling off a desk or workbench) if someone steps on it, the “anti-roll” stops someone from slipping on it like a round tube.

[@poolfiend007]

I've been using that demo driver for over a year, maybe even two and it's great. I love it for getting that last little bit of tightning on lock rings when it's tought to get your pliers in.

[@justinmclean5778]

i've been using that Milwaukee ratcheting driver for almost a year, and the complaints you have i had as well. However, after extended use the wobble of the shaft has not bothered me, as well as how easily the shaft comes out of the handle. it should not come out of the handle if properly used. the bit holder doesn't close due to improperly stored bits... make sure they are in there correctly and not in half way. also the drag from the ratchet before using it i did not like, however with the high drag of the ratchet, it actually helps me know if a bit is secured enough on tightening rather than a pb swiss where the ratchet works just by looking at it. it may just be preference on how you like your tools but i'm not taking that away from you. you either like it or not. great vid.

[@pablorodriguez4530]

That Milwaukee 14 in 1 used to be my daily driver but like you said it felt very clunky and not as well balanced. I switched to the Klein 15 in 1 with impact rated bits and never looked back

[@gio7861]

i love that multi driver but i’ve had the bits break on me repeatedly along with the handles coming loose.. got tired of going to lowe’s and exchanging switched to the wera drivers

[@91rickybaker]

I’ve had that milwaukee pry bar driver for a few months I love it

[@edgarescobedo6091]

Could you make a video on the best electrical metric tools?

[@adamb7505]

One thing to note with the demolition screwdriver is it's not a solid piece of metal. One of my coworkers bought one and after 3 months when he hit it the thing shattered.

[@MattHmm-rq6dn]

If you do a continuity test on it it's just a cap on there

[@johnwayne7-314]

Enjoy the channel brotha and enjoy your fresh perspective on the trade. Your tool reviews are probably my favorite and most watched videos. Can you please do a toolbelt suspender review??? I have an Occidental adjust to fit industrial electrician pro belt. I've already tried the Occidental suspenders and their to stiff and uncomfortable. Currently using the Kaya life synthetic leather professional suspenders. They were good but their time has come and I'm going back and forth between a handful. Price range isn't a problem, comfort is a must. If you got the time help a brother out. Haven't seen you do suspenders ever and been a minute for you to review belts either, so could be a popular video. Suggestions from chat would be great as well. I don't mind spending money if they are good but spending almost $100 on something that is trash is frustrating.

[@georgedavall9449]

There is a lot to comment on in here, but seeing the diverse, and some contrary comments, I will leave it at this: When Milwaukee gets it right, it is good, but they aint ‘GOLDEN’ in everything. I admire them for making tools here now, and coming back to their ‘roots,’ after abandoning them years ago. I do like their regular screwdrivers, and especially the #2 Phillips, which has about the best tip I have ever used. It ‘fits,’ and does not slip. How long they will hold up well, we will see. The 13:1 Driver is handy no doubt. As to some of the comments regarding Klein, I tend to agree. I picked up a USA Made Milwaukee 9” linesman’s pliers recently, and whilst good, and well made, it cannot compete with Klein, fact! I tried them out on some wiring, and twisting the 12 gauge solid wires together, just didn't go as smoothly as with my Klein. I will probably keep them as a spare/ backup. BTW, my 25 year old Klein 9” Linesman’s are still going strong, albeit slightly dull cutters. I happen to like your style, and appreciate your ‘testimony’ at the end! Stay safe. 👍🇺🇸

[@bluescoobywagon]

Does the Milwaukee Multi Impact Nut Driver also have adjustable-length shaft like the Klein? I have the Milwaukee demolition screwdrivers and use them all the time. I will have to add the chisel!

[@MattHmm-rq6dn]

We had a graveyard of thoes 6 in 1 strippers 8 pairs where the pivot point failed and got misaligned. I got forged wire strippers for my people and they go years on them instead of amonth tops? The demo driver use to have a black handle that's version 2. The first version was more rubberized and more comfortable. Good luck 👍

[@americanelectrician]

I’ll have to see if I can find one of the older versions somewhere!

[@MattHmm-rq6dn]

It's the same part number but instead of 59 the old one is 60 if your looking for it. Last two of the model number. Also the old one was more of a polished shiny screwdriver vs this new ones that look like cheap chrome to me. Hope it helps 🙏

[@nicolashobson7329]

Wera makes the perfect beater that fits 90% of flathead screws and has a pass thru shank been beating in mine for 3 years and still use it as a screwdriver

[@stringlarson1247]

The chisel driver looks nice. I just got a couple of Estwing (I've been using Estwing and Milwaukee since the '70s). I'll probably get that Milw ats the Estwing is too long to carry on my belt/pouch setup. I'm going to take a closer look at the multi-nut driver. I picked up Klien's version (which also has flat and Phillips #1), but that thing is just a pure PITA to use. (Big miss for Klien on that one, and most of my oldest elec. stuff is Klien, so pretty disappointed with them on that). I don't do much 'commercial' work, so working all day with Unistrut etc., I don't need those to be at hand all the time. I couldn't tell from the video whether or not the working socket has to be on the end of the 6" (?) shaft. Is the working end (with the stop and ball detent) a standard SAE 1/4" drive end? It looks like it's hex? I have the Knipex stripper/plier, which I absolutely love. It does have the wider end like the older one you showed. The reamer looks sweet. My old Klien's are still kickin'. I've never used a reamer on a power tool; it'll be interesting to see if it's worth changing bits on the impact is worth it for EMT. I'll get one and try it out, anyway. For a ratcheting driver, the Wera is designed such that the direction 'switch' goes in the direction you are driving and allows for 'free spinning' with the thumb/forefinger, which it f'n genius, especially when dealing with #6/#8 32 fasteners where any back drag on the ratchet is too much. I do have a stubby version of the Milwaukee that has all the bits in the handle and a Klein with a similar feature. It's handy in some situations, but I hardly ever work on something away from the bench that requires a small Torx, Robertson, Philips, and flathead at the same time. I'm with ya on the multi-driver thing. I carry my most common old Klien's (flat, phil), the Wera changeable, and a couple of different rail and/or keyring style bit holders. I've seen some of the Milwaukee hand tools as they've been pushing into that market which are/were just whitelabel stuff badged with Milwaukee handles, etc. Sadly, that is a negative for the brand, but it looks like they are changing that. Semi-OT: I picked up a couple of Milwaukee nail pullers, and they are excellent as the head is cammed to really increase the force applied to the nail head. Also, I picked up a small(ish) hammer to carry on my belt as my 40 year old leather wrapped Estwing needs to spend more time in my shop before the leather gets completely destroyed. (sentimenal value). I really like the new Milwaukee hammer.

[@danm2203]

for the ratchet screwdriver test the LTT ratchet screwdriver. as a plumber is its perfect

[@robertshivers7156]

that spiders just chilling 14:08

[@williamlazaroff5478]

So I like the Klein impact nut driver better. The Milwaukee has some pros for sure , but the Klein 1/4 socket is fit to hold screw driver bits while the Milwaukee is not. Put it on the Klein 14-1 hvac kit and you have the ultimate screwdriver

[@FlatWaterGuerrillas]

I’ve sheared the teeth off a locknut with a demo driver once, went back to using a 5/16” flatty as a beater

[@Mmiitthh]

The hole in the handle of the screwdriver is for a lanyard not increasing torque

[@andrewcrossman2165]

Off-topic, man I cannot tell you how happy I am I just got my first set of Wera screwdrivers, I think I'm hooked I'm gonna probably order every set. There is.piss Away all the little apprentice money I'm making.

[@aktamakov]

I changed my 16 in 1 screw driver so many times. The ball inside the bit holder falls out and then I start loosing bits.

[@dougbrown7150]

Why are wera and wiha the only locking bit drivers. I get sick of getting a screw tight, pulling my driver out and leaving the bit stuck in the screw, particularly in small spaces

[@americanelectrician]

It does get in the way sometimes which is annoying but I totally agree. It drives me insane to have bits get stuck

[@weing]

The plastic look and finish of all those Milwaukee knockoffs of Klien's make them look like Dollar Store speed table tools. Who signed off on those?

[@benjaminabel8596]

I was at Home Depot today testing the strength on the Milwaukee levels that said were "super strong rare earth magnets". They were way weaker than the Empire ones and probably even weaker than Harbor Freight's Doyle.

[@91rickybaker]

And I love the made in the USA Milwaukee drivers, have had them for a few months, along with the wera diamond tip drivers, I had a set of each

[@sadpug3200]

I need those thick red handles on the NM strippers. The current grips split or get cut so easily or just slide off after a week

[@americanelectrician]

That would be pretty sweet. I’m not a big fan of dipped handles so I like these much better

[@roosteroriginal6458]

The old "Milwaukee HVAC Demo Driver" was awesome ;) it's a shame they replaced it with such a pos... the old one looked better too 😂

[@efektmurowany]

Circle of brand hype, from unlimited paid yt love to reality😂❤❤❤

[@georgebonney90]

I recently the the Milwaukee acetate/rubber handled screwdriver set,made in USA. The blades are great the handles are not.

[@mattysold2659]

What’s the best multi meter

[@darkoneokc]

That demo driver is crap. I hit a nail while hammering it into wood and destroyed the blade.

[@91rickybaker]

I bet you do like that that screwdriver goes both ways 😅😂

[@davidtran4760]

Umm....that little design part on the shaft that you think or believe is stupid is called a knurling. Yes it is for aesthetic, but the main purpose of it is to provide extra grip. The knurling process adds an additional step and more money, so manufacture cheap out and skips that step

[@americanelectrician]

Well either way I like it🙌🏼

[@americanelectrician]

Thanks for the heads up!

[@georgedavall9449]

David a smart guy 👍

Pro Tip Milwaukee is Chinese Love America Buy American

[@TMartinez]

The Milwaukee extensions are horrible. The Diablo extensions are the way to go

[@alpha42069]

good shit brother

[@americanelectrician]

Much appreciated 🙏🏼

[@BuffaloWarrior7]

The mega pro driver is soo much better than milwaukees multi driver. Their older version sucks. I think the newer ones are better. But Megapro won me over.

[@shanen.6210]

These are all rip offs of klein

[@mycatsballs8195]

And klein ripped some off from snap on So on so forth

[@Apache-Helicopter-Life]

True, and I am a Klein fan over Milwaukee Hand tools for sure, but isn’t every competitor tool a rip off of another in some way shape or form? Nobody re-inventing the wheel, just trying to get their hands in keeping it round and rolling.

[@americanelectrician]

I wouldn’t call any of these rip offs. These are tools that everyone makes but these are distinctive from other brands and if you’re talking about the bit storage, a lot of German companies have been making them for years

[@trunks2505]

Wera & Megapro did it before Klein.

[@user-ep6wd7ip7v]

Insider sucks ass to many problems with lots ppl not functioning properly
