New Milwaukee Work Gloves Allow You to Use Smart Phones and Tablets

February 4, 2016 Shane Hedmond
milwaukee demolition gloves

Whether you like it or not (we LOVE it), technology is forcing its way onto the job sites, through the use of smart phones, tablets, and wearables.  The problem is, it’s a hassle to wear work gloves and try to use your devices.

Milwaukee Tool’s new demolition work gloves will not only solve the clash of work gloves and technology, they’re also not sacrificing durability to make it happen.  With reinforced fingertips, palms, and thumbs, the new gloves provide strength and grip to the most used areas of your hand.  The knuckles also have a protection pad to guard against scrapes and impact. Don’t worry about comfort, either, as the gloves are made out of a breathable lining and have a mesh backing that helps wick away sweat.  The backs of the gloves are also lined with terry cloth to wipe the sweat off of your face.

In order to use your touchscreen devices, Milwaukee has smartly installed a SMARTSWIPE Knuckle, which will allow your touch to be picked up by your device.  It’s smart to use the knuckle, because you won’t smear up your screen with your dirty fingers.

The gloves, which will be available in February of 2016 and will be priced at $24.99

Milwaukee Tool Releases Guide for Cleaning Tools to Help Prevent Spread of COVID-19
Apr 15, 2020

Construction has been designated as essential business in most areas of the country, but that doesn’t necessarily mean construction workers don’t have any risk of contracting or spreading the disease. Chances are, you’ve probably never washed your power tools before, because, well, tools are supposed to get dirty. But, in the time of an unprecedented pandemic, now might just be the time to start, as it might allow you to do your part in slowing the spread.

A Complete Guide to Milwaukee Tool’s M18 Battery Lineup
Aug 8, 2019

For years, Milwaukee has made it very clear that they will continue to keep their M18 platform as their core system.  Cordless tool users spend a ton of money into batteries these days, and the company’s goal is to not force them into investing into a new cordless system. That means that Milwaukee has to come up with innovative ways to provide the tools users want while being limited to 18 volts.

Review: Milwaukee M18 Radius Compact Site Light with Flood Mode
Jun 22, 2018

Proper lighting is one of the most overlooked things on a construction site.  Sure, most sites have some overhead lighting, but with a minimum of only 5 loot candles required by OSHA in general construction areas, there’s a lot left to be desired.  Milwaukee Tool is, by far, the leader in the construction lighting category based on shear volume and quality of their lighting solutions.
