I just bought a M12 Heated Axis for our kids Elementary School security guard who is a retired cop..,he puts his life on the line protecting our kids and stands out in freezing NY Temps...Hopefully he gets some relief from this heated Jacket/Raincoat... can larger Amp hour AH Batteries be used?

@@technicalitems731 there is an adapter, part no. 49-24-2371. keep in mind that the m18 will be heavier. someone did a test with the m18 12.0 ah battery and it lasted 18 hours on the high setting

As some that has owned the milwaukee hardshell jacket (yes i know it isn't the axis jacket) I can tell you it works better if you wear the thinest possible layer under the jacket and if for whatever reason you aren't warm enough wear another layer over the jacket. thick layers insulate you too much from the heat of the jacket so it kinda defeats the purpose of wearing the jacket. It's also nice not having to tons of layers and all that clothing weight slowing you down on the jobsite. I wore only a t-shirt for 3 years with my first milwaukee jacket and m12 batteries, then I purchased power in motions 16v batteries to make the jacket even better. This year I bought a milwaukee workskin to wear under the jacket; Mainly to offset any sweating I do since the workskin solves that problem the tshirt wouldn't solve.

Great video. I live outside Pittsburgh, and that is going to be my new winter jacket. Just another example of why Milwaukee is the best.

I got a the tuff shell version and love it. The sizing guide that Milwaukee has listed on their website and forwarded to retailers are off. I ordered a 3XL but ended up returning it for a 2XL to make sure it fits more snug and actually utilize the heating. Great review!

I just bought the hoodie, love it 👍👍❤️ Come to find out, you can use the m18 batteries, just note that they are heavy but last a long long time.

this thing is amazing.. I was honestly about to quite smoking cause I hate going outside to smoke in the winter.. not anymore!! For real tho 5 stars amazing! No complaints

@vcg 2 things I want to see in this jacket. 1. Rubber on the shoulders. I'm a handyman and during the winter my shoulder bag slides right off. 2. Is the one key system. I misplace my jackets all the time.

That would be worth having just to keep in the trunk incase your car breaks down on the side of the road in the middle of winter and you had to walk home.

I own last yrs tuff shell and I thought it was ridiculous to buy at first but I love it now, but this thing (axis) has got my attention I like the look , I like the shoulder and I may have to cash in my change jar to get one lol!

It’s amazing I’m going to buy one next year tax season

That would make a good first layer under a Carhart, or just a lite jacket for going out with an emergency heat source and battery. I wish these companies made a durable, heated hoodie that wasn't a million dollars.

Maybe the 2018 version was good and warmed up but I recently returned mine back to home Depot because it wouldn't heat up. As an electrician working out in cold weather this sounded like an awesome jacket but I had to keep adding layers to warm up. Friend has one and doesn't keep him warm either.

It’s very important to get the jacket sized correctly, too small for your build and you could risk a kidney breaker if you sit down too quickly!! Having the right size allows the battery to move to your side more.

Use the sizing chart before buying, if you buy a size too small the battery placement can be an issue. The right size allows the battery to move to your side when sitting!!

I love reviews on work gear! We don’t only operate and hold our tools. We wear them too! I don’t think you have done a review on magnet shoes and I’m thinking about picking a pair up🧐

It would be nice if they made these in hi vis because most job sites require u to where hi vis specially the commercial and big company’s that are really big on safety because it helps them with insurance deals . To be honest I hate wearing a vest specially over my jackets because it’s snags and gets in the way. also I never forget my jacket but I sometime I forget my vest when I take it out to wash it. now I’ve leaned to keep an extra in my truck in case that happens.
