Volume 70 SPECIAL EDITION
Today we've got another special edition newsletter focused on some great products from Milwaukee Tool. We were so impressed at the last Milwaukee Media event with all the new products being featured. However, what really impresses us is job site performance and evaluation from our Team. We like to see the tools in action before we give our praises
and that's exactly what we're doing today.

Milwaukee WINS Best in Class Cordless Circular Saw
This Fall our Tool Box Buzz Crew spent the day testing cordless circular saws matched with the latest and highest capacity batteries for each model. The Head to Head comparison was designed to see how each Brand competes with their best foot forward in grueling tests of endurance, performance, ergonomics, and price.
We tested both 6-1/2" and 7-1/4" circular saws from several
manufacturers. The Milwaukee FUEL circular saws paired with the new 9.0 Ah High Demand battery packs impressed us with their run time and overall performance.
Both of the Milwaukee FUEL circular saws ended the day winning our top honor and being named Best in Class. This was one of the most comprehensive tests we've done to date with a very detailed article and video.
The article is linked in the Read More link just below and the video
is just below as well. It's filled with lots of great information that will likely surprise you. Judging cordless tools based solely on voltage, number of batteries, or amp hours will leave you shaking your head.
Tool accessories are never all that sexy. But, at the end of the day the accessories we use with our tools often make the biggest difference in the productivity and quality of our work. All of us use reciprocating saw blades on a very regular basis and there's certainly a huge difference in the performance of them from brand to brand and even within brands.

reciprocating saw blades are changing the game significantly for the better! We recently decided to test the new AX Carbide Sawzall Blades to see how well they can tackle the toughest tasks like cutting through nail embedded lumber and roofing shingles. The AX blades really impressed us, and left me sore and tired from the long process of trying to wear the blades out!
Need serious lighting on a construction project? Look no further than the Milwaukee M18 LED Radius Job Light that puts out 4,400 lumens! This bad boy can run off 18V battery or AC power and offers a hanging hook and security cable to protect this pricey investment.
The Radius light is available in two versions with one version featuring the One-Key capability for the ultimate
jobsite control. Users with One-Key can turn on and off the lights using their phone or tablet. The One-Key app allows users to set timers and control the lights from afar. This is perfect in larger jobs where the lights can be positioned higher off the ground providing better light output and great security.
