- Everyone has been falling over themselves to say nice things about the new Milwaukee Tools M12 Heated Softshell, and the Heated Axis Layering System. But Rob from Coptool is NOT convinced. He's got 5 reasons you should NEVER buy this Milwaukee M12 Heated Jacket.
But if you DO want to buy it, you should buy it from OhioPowerTool.com where they are currently running a promotion that gives you a free extra battery so you can keep the heat on!

We are loving the stories guys! Thanks for so many great comments! We'll be announcing the winner on this week's episode of the Power Tool Week In Review this Friday at 5pm, so be sure to subscribe if you haven't yet!
you dont tell us the prices, whats the point?
@@JohnSmith-jz4pk To give you the other information. Prices change. The product doesn't. Check out OhioPowerTool.com for pricing.
Man this was so hard to watch. The anger is obviously fake, maybe you intended that maybe you didn’t. But I want real opinions, not reality tv.
@@Tsxtasy1 sorry it went over your head a bit. It won’t work for everyone. The jackets work great. We love them.
I would love to have this jacket to heat up my wife’s cold heart and allow me to purchase more Milwaukee gear.
It will not work brother. Even the 12 ah battery can't heat up a wife's cold heart. Just toss money at her like a log on the fire. Best ya can hope for.
I’m getting my old lady too for the same reason
😂😂
I think if you get her an M18 12AH vibrator, that might just get you what you need.
Lmao!!!!! Love your comment
I live in Wisconsin and we've been having temps in 20s, with wind chill either single digits or negative; and it's only halfway through November. I work in a barely heated shop all day as an auto mechanic, where I occasionally have to go outside also. I would love a Milwaukee heated jacket! Thanks for the informative video!
Same fellow cheese eater. They have the Toughshell 3.0 out now and it's only $200. Worth every penny man. Buy one now while they are still in stock. I know this is two years later, but it comes with a better battery, more features, and for less money.
Awesome Video, thanks for the mentions and link Sarah! As of this posts we've still got several hundreds of M12 Jackets & Hoodies In-Stock. The snow and cold have put a dent in the pile for sure, no way they'll make it to the holidays.
I bought one back in 2012 when they first came out. Worked in a new building that was 20° and it was a lifesaver! Wife loves hers and wears it on the motorcycle along with in her car waitfor it to warm up. Also, get the lighter plug for when you wear it in the car or on your touring bike.
I have the heated vest and the tough shell heated jacket and I love them! One of the best purchases I ever made and I live in the middle of Kansas where the winter gets crazy. Definitely glad I got the vest and jacket.
Thanks for the review! I had a gen 1 red jacket and the zipper finally broke so its time for a new one! The one with heated pockets would really help me when working in the winter!!
Thanks!
Agreed "no one should be happy living in Ohio"
I purchased the heated vest and it rules!! Wish I had enough to get a jacket but maybe down the road a bit. Just the basic best replaces a heavy car hart coat as far as overall warmth factor. Thank You Milwaukee and thanks for the awesome review guys.
It helps a lot no matter you are a framer, plumber or electrician. A lot of time, we work in conditions with just the frame work with no insulation or Sheetrock. Even in the not so cold California, working in such conditions during winter is not fun. I highly suggest this jack to everyone in the trade.
Would be great to have one of these jackets when working on rooftop units and inside AHUs this winter!
I work outside in a cement plant and one of these would really come in handy. Thanks for the video!
Im a Electrician💡🔌🛠🔧 in New York Milwaukee Heated Jacket will make my work life better and more efficient as a Journeyman and i LOVE MILWAUKEE ❤its the best Brand for Electricians😎 You Guys Do awesome videos i watch yah all the time👌🏾
I’ve been tempted to buy the professional looking one that Rob was wearing but now I’m nervous of having the exact same problems Rob experiences and I probably wouldn’t be able to take the coat of long enough to get relief lol. Good job guys big thumbs up
this video is just an add....this page sucks
This would be a godsend. I’m constantly outside doing hvac and this would just make working better especially this time of year.
This would be great to have. My daily job is outside in the weather and I love working outside when I’m not at my job . Staying warm would definitely help with productivity. Thankfully I have a few M12 batteries that I could use just for the jacket. Great video .
I can’t help thinking that Rob wasn’t “acting “ when he was crying in public.
True story
I just started installing AC disconnects outside this week. I had my carhartt bibs on but my upper body was still cold. All I could think the whole time was “I wish I had a Milwaukee heated jacket 😭” because I have friends who own them.
Winning one would make my life out in the Indiana winter, SO much more bearable.
Love you guys and your channel, thanks for the great content!!
I work outside every day in Iowa and I have always wanted one of their jackets. I'd love to try the heated gloves too because I'm always having to take mine off to work for a few minutes and I'm putting on cold globes on cold hands.
“Can I help you?” NO IM MARRIED!! 😂😂😂😂
I own 2 and loved them until the heating elements broke for both in less than a year each. I just use them as regular jackets now but they work just as well because of the good insulation. For me I have to layer another bigger jacket on top of the Milwaukee during really cold weather to get the best results.
junk. less than a year
Heated jackets rock! Makes outdoor work in the cold a breeze! A must have
I need to get one of these jackets. I work outdoors and in a massive factory cooler every so often. To be able to turn it up or down or even off would be a huge benefit.
Thanks for the funny but informative videos. 👍🏼
“Look at that stupid face” that made me laugh a little more than it should have
You guys are crazy awesome hosts and writers ! This episode was the funniest I ever seen on Coptool ❤️❤️❤️ every weeks are getting better and better ! Much love from my freezing country Canada ( where I wear my heated jacket too ! )
Thanks brother!!
I recently took a job working construction when I moved back to Upstate NY. Working in conventional, bulky winter gear is exhausting. With a toddler at home and a new baby on the way, I can't afford to buy one of these - despite the fact that I stand at the store and stare longingly at them. It sure would be nice to come home a little more energized and a lot more warm. I'll think of you all everytime I pop in a new battery and get nestled in with my little boy and newborn baby... and my wife... and my pets. I'd better grab some extra batteries.
Fantastic video. Would love to have one of these in my milwaukee tool line up. Very nice with the heated shoulders
I have the hoodie, my wife has the shell jacket.
They are MEH at best. We work outside and in the winter you can’t even feel the heating elements.
The only way you can feel them is if it’s on high, your wearing a lightweight shirt, and another something over top of them.
If you are layered up you will not even be able to tell it’s on. Here’s my layering to put this into perspective.
Cotton tank/beater, long John or fleece thermal base layer, thermal long sleeve, then hoodie. And I can’t feel the heating elements.
If I go inside, or sit in my truck to warm my feet and hand, after about 5-10 minutes and the pressure of sitting against the elements you will feel them. But once you get back out into the cold. Nope.
One thing I found that works is to wear a tank top, lightweight dry fit type shirt, heated hoodie, then another hoodie on top. Then I can feel the heat. But at that point the two hoodies is cumbersome and hard to work in.
Oh, not to mention that M12 battery and adaptor is like carrying a brick in your pocket. Or rib cage I should say as they have the pocket in a weird spot.
It’s a great hoodie for sitting around a camp fire, at a hockey rink, driving in the truck, etc. but for actual outdoor work use. I would not recommend.
I want this for when I’m stuck on the roof after the neighbor steals my ladder when I’m up there 😂
Ar15
He won’t get far
I would love to own one of these great looking jacket/coat! I work outside all day and often wear a big ugly coat that is not only not heated, but is not comfortable to wear. I’m a huge Milwaukee fan and would love to own one of these jackets. I want to look good, feel good, and not rely on using a spoon for drilling anymore.
Loved the vid, you two are the best! I too, am from Central O-H, Lancaster to be exact. Once I figured out that the weather is better in Nor Cal, only took me 30 years, I moved out here. When I got here I laughed at people wearing jackets in November when it is in the upper 60's. Now when I go home to Ohio in the Fall or Winter, I am freezing!!!!!! I need one of these heated jackets so I will go visit my family in Ohio more often! Thanks for all you do!
I would give it to my pops. He works on a dairy ranch and works rain or shine and when it rains over there it pores. Especially in the fall/ winter time he's out there 5-530am while most of us are still dreaming in our comfortable nice and warm beds. He does a lot of manuel labor, always moving around so the jacket with the tough shell is the one he needs to hold working around unpredictable livestock where it's always muddy. The tough shell jacket would keep him very warm all day especially when he's separating cattle while riding horses or quad with all that cold wind hitting his body. Thanks" COP" for the video review and the chance to win one, I know who ever wins will love the jacket!
I've been wanting one of these since they came out. I'd love to win because I don't live in Ohio, but MINNESOTA! It gets so cooooold here
I need this jacket! I work outside and it would change my life! Plus, I have done m12 fuel tools so I have the extra batteries to keep me warm all day.
I tell you what you guys had me when I clicked on your video because I too just bought one for work 😂 I was actually upset for a minute! Haha but on a serious note I bought one of the heated hoodies for my work I am an HVAC technician and plumber and oh man this hoodie comes in handy! Just one situation where it shined the most, I was servicing a rooftop unit for no heat on a chilling day it was 25 degrees out with the wind chill made it feel like 10! All I had in the van was my thick jacket and Milwaukee winter hat! I quickly through a battery in my hoodie put the jacket on as an over layer and man I was sweating 😂! Worked great 👍 pair it up with insulated Milwaukee gloves and it's perfect! All I use is Milwaukee for my everyday job and my side business! Great tools and awesome customer service 👍. I really enjoyed the video too! Great job you guys!
That Dude In A Jeep - Thanks Dude!
My shop and I (vocational highschool) go out on the job quite a bit during the winter, and this jacket would definitely help keep warm when it gets cold, while still being light/small enough to still have manual dexterity
Great video! I love reason #5! I really want a new axis jacket - maybe Santa will bring me one. The idea of having the heat on an inner layer makes a lot of sense. #Milwaukeetool you need to make a high visibility outer layer for those of us who have to play in traffic.
Sara and Rob, that was too funny! Here’s why I need one of those fantastic looking Milwaukee heated jackets:
Idaho has some cold winters. We have a bunch of remodeling projects we’re trying to get completed before Thanksgiving and Christmas, which are going to require some outside activity. My hot flashes help during those 20 and 30 degree days/nights, but I need some help in between them! LOL!
Sneaky double entry by the Lucas crew! ;-)
Could've really used one of these yesterday, working outside in "feels like 15°" weather in Upstate New York...
Im a Site Safety Health Officer in San Diego and i constantly have to be out on the field inspecting work. Rain or shine. So being prepared for a rainy or windy day with an M12 Heated Jacket would make my job more awesome!!!
Well, I need one.... we not for me, but for my wife who has recess duty all the time. She would love to have one of these!
I need heated Jeans 👖. My legs are freezing.
YES!!!!! 😂🥶
That why thermals where invented educate yourself !
I'm a plumber and bought one back in 2017 and it's great for those cold days in the northeast. I know they have redesigned them since then. I would love to get one for my wife to keep her warm when we are on the job together.
I do a lot of pipe line work and this jacket would be great for all the different types of weather we end up in on a daily basis
I live in Canada... and snowshoe to my neighbours. Of course I need one of these jackets!
Love this episode, Rob was so silly 😛😁😍😀. Here in Branson Mo you never know how fast the weather will change. People around here will say if you don't like the weather, wait 5 minutes. LOL😁😍😀. This type of layered jacket is perfect for the weather here in Branson Mo. Thanks ro Milwaukee for sponsoring the contest !!! Congrats to whoever wins. I would vote for the guy who has to climb 400 ft. Towers. Thanks Rob and Sarah for such a great show. Rodney
Thanks so much Rodney!
yeah I know what you mean st. Louis native here.
I dont have a heated vest but a hoodie and this thing keep me warm. I'm thinking of using it with the m12 redlithuim xc 6.0 to see how long it will last.
Thank you! Great review, just bought my 7th kit! ❤❤
OK Rob you have persuaded me. I don't want one.
Send me yours. :-)
My wife needs this to keep warm (skip the funny retorts, please) as even a 70° F house isn't always warm enough for her! Also, dinner just became "let's imitate Rob crying cuz his battery ran out" time.
Absolutely love your humor! The M12 heated jacket that I am currently enjoying up here in freezing cold Boston will inspire me to go to my local mall and start to cry like a baby when my battery dies All the best you both👍👍
Since I'm the youngest company man, I'm always the first one to be sent out in the cold on a job. Having one of these jackets would make my workday so much better!
My M12 jacket got stolen. It was from the very first year they came out. Was still in perfect shape. I guess I shouldn’t have told people how nice it was🤯😡🤬
Top Shelf Innovations how
Mike Bihg out of my Truck...... I have my truck set up to do mobile install/ repair on vehicles, RV’s of all types, and home audio/ electronics /smart home items etc. if you have ever worn one of these things......after lunch when the sun comes out on the right day even without the heat they are hot enough you are sweating bad. I wear fitted under armour most days so I’m used to shedding the jacket for a few hours. So it got tossed in the back seat or right in the bed of my truck on top of my tool box drawer system and next morning went to grab, and gone.
Drives me nuts, I checked and I don’t think it was an issue of “misplacing” it.... my customers would tell me. So that narrows it down to another contractor or hired guy. Next one I will get embroidered with logo or something.
This and my Knipex Pliers wrench are the only 2 things I have had come up missing. Pliers wrench never even made it 48 hours! Never got to use them so I don’t even know if I like the damn things enough to buy another pair.
Mike Bihg why what’s up? Have you found it? Lol! Black, large, no hood, first gen before they did all these layer deals & stuff and diamond sewing pattern. It was that waterproof (pretty much stuff and then heavy ass fleece inside)
Top Shelf Innovations some had to have known what it was cause nobody takes jackets ,I use my extra jackets to cover my tools lol
Mike Bihg oh I’m sure...... heck it could have been one of the flooring guys that asked me about it🙁. They didn’t get the battery adapter deal tho...... it was in my drawer with rest of m12 and m18 batteries
I frame houses year round no matter the temp and would love to have one so I don’t have to wear as many layers and would be more noble
I would love this jacket because Milwaukee is my absolute favourite brand. I live in the coldest city in the world (Winnipeg, Mb). I love ice fishing and hunting but it gets so cold sometimes that the fun gets cut short because of how cold it is. And last of all I am an apprentice plumber and having this jacket would make my outside jobs 1000 times more enjoyable. Thanks merry Christmas!
I purchased the hoodie today. It's very comfortable and warm. As a big plus the heat helped my back pain.
Milwaukee m12 heated Jacket would make my cold mornings so much better I would look good and be warm.
As bulky as it is get a 6ah battery coz the 2ah is shit the only bad thing about the jacket in my eyes
I climb 400’ towers year round in Minnesota and North Dakota, ‘nuff said!
Woah! Cool job! I LOVE heights. Lemme know if you need a caddy up there. ;-)
Coptool “cool job,” I see what you did there. 😉
Tanner J give this guy a jacket, and me one too. 😉
I live in Iowa and this winter has already been a cold one! And it’s not even technically winter 😬. I’m working in an unheated building currently (future condos) and BOY the wire is already stiff enough, I don’t need my body to be cold 😂 also I work at nights in an unheated dock as a forklift operator and man you wouldn’t believe how cold it gets. Either way, I’m getting one, Id I buy it or win it 😂 thanks for the vids guys, I always love them! Keep up the hard work
I have one of the older heated coats. I like it, but i found myself not grabbing it often, I think it was to stiff for me. I would love to try this new stuff. At least like a full zip hoodie with heat. Layering is the key
My axis heated vest was a lemon right out the plastic 🍋🍋 had to return and by then, they were all sold out 😔
Dude that sucks! We can't bring ourselves to take ours off!
@@ToolShow at least i still have the older version heated vest!
did you return it to the store or call in the warranty?
@@TheJttv called Milwaukee warranty first, they told me to just return it to place of purchase.
94 GT Coupe, I’d call their CS department up again, tell them the situation and how bummed out you are. Ask them what they can do to resolve your issue. If need be...escalate to a supervisor, they might have a bit more swag to help. Good Luck!
I live in Canada, I think that's a good enough reason.
Me too, only if I could afford to buy one 😂😂
As a commercial refrigeration service tech I need one of these to keep me from freezing inside of walk-in boxes no matter how much I layer up in jackets I'm never able to keep my core warm enough and end up having to take breaks after a few hours when my hands get to the point where I can't even grip something, core gets cold blood flow slows, blood flow slows and hands begin to freeze faster this jacket would be a complete life saver and used year round not just the colder months
I got my XL jacket last year for an outer layer it works but it's too big I lost so much weight that my parents wasn't sure if I was a L or XL so they got me an XL, today I wanted the vest but I got the hoodie because I wanted my heat to be my inner layer so I broke down and I bought the hoodie.
Now I havw a heat hoodie that I wear undet my jacket and three 3ah batteries as well as two 1.5 AH batteries so on extremely cold days I can be warm by having both my jacket and hoodie on!
I am married can’t have one.
Nailed it. ;-)
Single mom of two boys, work in warehouse, seattle wa, cold, rain, snow, still go to work, motivated by my boys
Love it
I would like to have one to keep me warm I work in a press shop back by the dock doors and they are always open I'm always so layered up with hoodies and jackets feels really uncomfortable to move I live in Ohio so you understand the what the weather going to be like here thanks for the great review love the channel
I know how it would make my life better, it would keep me warm when I'm cold lol actually had one of the older hoodies until recently stopped working. Great product
I plow snow and service the equipment on site out in the cold, a heated jacket would turn some of the harsh conditions not as bad!
I want one because my husband won’t let me wear his!
Have you ever tried to warm him up? Maybe he has to rely on the jacket?
I work outside all the time on houses on my vehicles. I would love one of these jackets. I read a lot of good things about them. Thanks for the chance
My company just began the framing of a 3800sq ft house on the water in Montauk Long Island and this jacket would literally save my life and limbs from the freezing temps and winds!! Great video guys I like what you did with the 5 reasons "not to buy it!"
Thanks Joe!
Can you send me the email address for contest entries? I wrote coptool.com/contest and it failed. I guess I needed to put an @ something??
You just need to leave a comment here to enter Rodney. You're in bud.
I just bought one and IT SUCKS. High wasn’t even warm enough to call low. 🤯
TRUTHandANSWERS that’s why I bought Bosch hottest last I knew. I’ve had two. The bad thing is they only have one style and no heaters in the pockets.
You got a junk one because mine heats up amazing
I work in an auto shop that gets cold in the winter. I just got the m12 stubby and would love a jacket to match. Great vid
Man this would be awesome to have. I fish a lot of bass tournaments and this would be nice to have for those early mornings.
Since I work outside and live in Colorado I think I will have to put that jacket on the ol Christmas list - thanks for a great review
I know there is an adapter to use the 18V battery for more runtime. But does it make it warmer ?
Last week while hunting I broke my ankle and was stuck a long way from no where. I had no signal on my phone but I did have a milwaukee heated hoodie under a decent winter jacket. Anyhoo I spent the night and it was frickin cold....22f , I'm not saying it saved my life but it sure did make a long cold night more comfortable. I had two of 3ah and a 6ah with me....no problems running the jacket on high for 9 hours. At that point in time I was convinced that this hoodie was the best thing that I have ever bought.
I would really like one y’all showed me why I need one for winter coming up
I am a commercial HVAC guy in Michigan.. yeah that's right. North of Ohio where it gets even colder. Having one of these heated Milwaukee jackets would make this upcoming heating season so much more bearable for me while I restore people's heat!
Don't know if I'm too late, but I work on a locomotive for the city I live..we tend to push flats and cranes rather than pull. So someone has to be on the front of the flat in the elements and be the eyes for the operator. It gets pretty cold out there during the winter ( Northeast area of the country)
My wife and I have been looking for ways to stay warm when we're out 4wheeling during winter. These would be perfect addition to our Milwaukee arsenal.
Hi is the Milwaukee Heated Jacket compatible with the charger of the Bosch Professional Heated Jacket? Are the plugs the same? Thanks
It would help me tremendously when I’m doing snow removal at work, cutting wood, and tearing up the trails in my rzr
I picked up the gridiron set (the axis and heavy duty winter/snow jacket)
The axis plain is light and warm but when you turn it on it gets real hot!! But with the gridiron part on its another level!! Its great!
I work outside year round in PA, and like Rob, I'm also Addicted to being warm- sounds right up my alley!
I LOVE MY MILWAUKEE M12 HEATED JACKET!
It works extremely well. It's worth every nickel.
I know this is 3 years old but I've just found this video because I'm after a heated jacket. And just have to say this is the funniest and educational but the most hilarious video I have ever seen.
I definitely could use this out here in oil field since I'm not used to the cold. 👍🏿good vid guys.
The connector inside my jacket that plugs into the battery pack is damaged. Can you please help me to locate that cable end.
My husband should have one but I'm afraid I can't afford it he works so hard taking care of us and we were recently hit with covid he wants one so bad I know it would brighten the end of a horrible year for him he deserves one and so much more thank u
I live in Northern Ohio and stay really cold all year long not just the winter- this would be so great to have a “portable heat” source when everyone else is comfortable I could be too!😍
I would love to have it while I am stuck shoveling snow at the school I work at. It looks awesome!
Just purchased mine having a issue with the charging it didn't come with a milwaukee block charger so been using different ones it won't charge it says it's charging but the farthest it'll go is two red dots and no further I don't understand
I need one b/c I'm currently remolding a house from foundation to the roof. The house is right next to the interstate with lot of cold wind coming from all the cars driving. The house have no HVAC and it won't into awhile. House has been gutted to the bone no installation so all the element from the outside are inside the house. This jacket will help make my job more enjoyable and get things done faster. Thank you.
I do hvac and rock Milwaukee m18 impact driver and m18 hammer drill. I also have the m12 hacksall. Been very pleased with their tools. This jacket would be very useful for me. I'm out in the cold weather and in the rain alot fixing and/or installing furnaces. Having this jacket would be keeping me warm, dry, and comfortable, which in turn makes me safe.
I have been looking at the axis system, thanks for the review. But is it really worth the price?
I just purchased a camo version. Going to try it in the woods this weekend. Would sure love a second jacket for everyday wear hear in Kentucky.
I live in dallas Texas and we are not used to this cold weather. I never seem to be warm enough working outside in this weather.
