I haven't seen anything on here about these yet....a quick search revealed nothing. I have glanced at them a few times in my local hardware store and they looked nice.
Anyone tried them out?

i have a complete set of their screwdrivers they are my go to set at home.They have a very comfortable feel in the hand i'm thinking of getting a second set for the service truck. I don't remember what i payed for them but it was well worth it so far.

I have the electricians wire strippers, they're awesome. I have a Mac automatic wire stripper (the same ones radioshack, etc sell). I grab the Milwaukee more than those and they're "manual" strippers.

I have the 11 in 1 (I only count 10 things but whatever) and I will say this about it. Although the Klien will probably still be considered better, last longer, whatever a pro electrician would say about it, it's convenient to keep in the car and I have got plenty of misc usage out of it. Held up without any complaints so far.

I don't really prefer this kind of driver but it came free with something I think. Not sure if they would sell replacement bits for it but it actually looks like they might work with the megapro (or vice versa) haven't tried it yet.

All the Milwaukee hand tools and power tools are made in china now (except a handful) but these are about the best quality you can get from china.

I've heard good things about them. I myself only own their utility knives, their 9 in 1 screwdrivers, and the bottle opener, all three are excellent products. I looked at their diagonal pliers, but the tips aren't tippy, they end in a V cut, which the package says is for pulling nails and staples. No thanks! I passed on them.

I have one of their tape measures and it's the nicest tape I have. Home Depot had a two pack on sale and I picked it up last week.

You can never have too many tapes as they always disappear

+1 on that, i seen the two pack of milwaukee tapes this weekend at home depot, looked pretty nice but i've been buying those 2 pack fat max tapes they have had on sale from time to time and i just couldn't justify buying any more tapes..............although i do have a pair of they aviation snips and they seem ok.

I got a Walkie Torx bit screwdriver for those pesky VW's and Dodge door panels. Seems to be of decent quality. Also bought a small bit/ hexed drill bit set for $10, I used one of the small bits to drill through an old radio antenna today and was impressed with the drill bit.

Look okay to me (what I've seen), nothing special though. Too expensive for chinese stuff (I think that's where most of the stuff is made) in my opinion. Only have seen the knives and drivers though, I'm sure they make other hand tools. Their bits are top notch though (still china I think).:thumbup:
