It's been quite a while since my last post on power tools. I've been using these wonderful tools around the shop and that's why I wanted to highlight these three Milwaukee tool kits. Well, I also know you might find them very helpful around the house or shop.
Before heading off to talk about the tools, let me give you my thoughts on tool kits.
I like tool kits, they're a good bang-for-the-buck type of deal, especially when you buy great quality power tools. However, I do not recommend
buying every single tool kit that there is on the market. Instead, I do recommend you find out what tool/s you need the most and buy a tool kit where that tool is included. Most likely it will come with a nice case, a battery or set of batteries, and a charger. From then on you can buy individual tools to add to your arsenal.
Having worked with many different power tool brands, I can tell you from experience that when I have a tough job in front of me I usually grab my Milwaukee squadron. I know they'll deliver the power I need.
Having that in mind and without further ado, these three Milwaukee power tool kits are what I call an investment that will get the job done and will last you forever!
A drill and impact combo is a necessity in every household or shop, this might be the perfect starting point for your tool collection. A powerful and compact set.

The kit comes in a nice soft carrying case.
I found it a bit heavy for my liking, even more so when compared to a manual socket wrench. However, a manual socket wrench will put more stress on your hands than this big boy will ever do, given that with its power you won't be holding it for too long. This thing drives and loosens nuts pretty quickly.
These are some of the specifications for this ratchet kit:
- Pneumatic ratchet performance with up to 55 ft./lbs. maximum torque
- Slim head profile and extended neck provide users with the longest reach in tight spaces
- Industry-leading fuel technology, a reinforced mechanism, and investment cast steel yoke housing provide greater durability for the professional user
- Part of the M12 System, featuring over 80 plus tools
- POWERSTATE brushless motor delivers maximum power and long motor life
- REDLINK plus intelligence prevents damage to the tool and battery due to overloading or overheating
- REDLITHIUM batteries deliver more work per charge and more work over the life of the battery
My latest favorite tool! The best impact I have ever owned. The tool you need when building decks, roofs, or any type of job that requires you to drive those long hex or lag screws. This impact wrench does all the work for you, period.
