Best & Worst heated (& non-heated) work clothes from Milwaukee, dewalt, Makita, Carhart and Dickies
What happens here
The presenter offers a comparative analysis of Milwaukee, Makita, and DeWalt heated jackets, along with observations on Carhartt and Dickies workwear. He highlights that Milwaukee jackets are his 'absolute favorite' due to their superior 'unbinding' flexibility and durable, reinforced pockets, which he considers ideal for active job site work. He also notes Milwaukee's large 'kangaroo pouch' for battery placement, allowing for comfort and device charging. Makita jackets are praised for their zip-off sleeves, while DeWalt jackets feature a 'rapid heat' system and also have detachable sleeves. In contrast, traditional Carhartt jackets are described as stiff and restrictive, and Dickies workwear is mentioned but not demonstrated. He notes that for all heated gear, run-time depends on the battery size, and some brands (like Milwaukee) allow for swapping battery platforms (e.g., M12 to M18) for extended use, with some setups lasting 24 hours on high setting.
Goal: Understand the unique features and benefits of different heated workwear brands to make an informed selection.
