Milwaukee Contractor Bag Review

!±8± Milwaukee Contractor Bag Review

This review is for the Milwaukee contractor's bag that came in the V28 Combo kit model number 0928-29. You can also buy this tool bag separately which is model number 48-55-3530. When first looking at the bag you will notice that it is rather large, which is good. The dimensions are 24.53 L x 133 W x 143 H. This bag is made out of 600 denier material, so it is water resistant, not water proof which you don't want for power tool storage. Never buy an tool bag that is water proof, because your tools will not be able to breath. If your tools can not breath, the moisture will eat away at your tools.

One aspect we liked a lot was all the pockets. On the outside there are plenty of pockets to store hand tools for easy access. The outside also has two hand straps to carry the bag or one large shoulder strap. Once you open the Milwaukee contractor bag, you will notice the large amount of room that fits the Combo, with room left over for other items. On the inside of the tool bag, there are even more pockets to store items. This is a nice feature, now instead of all your tools at the bottom of the bag, you can easily access them. With all the tools from the kit plus any additional hand tools you will be putting in the bag, you might look at a weight of 50lbs. at most. So for our test we wanted to over load the bag and see what happens.

For our power tool test of the Milwaukee contractor bag, we loaded the bag with 2-50lb. salt bags. As a user, I am not sure anyone will be walking around with 100lbs. of tools in this bag, but it would be nice to know if it can handle this amount of weight. After we loaded the bag with this weight, we just picked it off the ground and moved it up and down to make sure the bottom didn't break or the handles didn't snap. We weren't sure, but the bag was fine and held up. Now some might say why didn't you swing the bag around and try to get it to break. Our response is if you can easily swing around 100lbs of power tools or have the need to do this, you might want to think about joining the Olympic weight lifting team!

Milwaukee V28 Combo Kit 0928-92 Review

!±8± Milwaukee V28 Combo Kit 0928-92 Review

In January 2005 Milwaukee was bought out by Techtronic Industries. This buyout happened over 3 years ago. We figured we gave them enough time to cycle their tools through their sales channels and replenish them with the new tools under the new company. So we wanted to run the tools through a new set of power tool tests and see if their quality has changed. This article will cover whats in the package and give a quick overview of each power tool. In the upcoming power tool reviews we will cover each Milwaukee V28 in more detail.

The Milwaukee V28 combo kit comes with a nice assortment of professional power tools. Below we listed the power tools that come in Milwaukee's V28 Combo kit.

Hammer Drill- 1/23 (0724-20) When we first picked up the Milwaukee Hammer Drill, we noticed this drill had great balance with the chuck and battery. This is very important so as your hand and arm won't have fatigue half way through the day. The chuck is nice, as is usually the case with professional power tools. It has Carbide jaws with a lock to keep the bits in place. Milwaukee states this drill has an impressive 600lbs. of torque. The no load speed is 0-600 and 0-1800 RPM. The no load BPM is 0-9000 and 0-27000. When you pick up the drill, it is like picking up feathers as it only weighs 4.4lbs.

Circular Saw- 6-1/23 (0730-20) This is a very light saw weighing in at only 7.1lbs. Very easy to maneuver and fun to use. The balance on the saw seemed great when we first picked it up. This circular saw has a 4,200 rpm.

Sawzall- (0719-20) As you all ready know we love the Sawzall, and this model is no different. Milwaukee took everything they knew about the corded Sawzalls and put this into the V28 Sawzall. It has the quik-lok blade system. One thing we will let you know is we tested this against the corded version of the Sawzall and we were very impressed and surprised, but you can read about that in our V28 Sawzall power tool review comming up.

Work Light- (49-24-0185) Milwaukee includes a great work light that will run over 5 hours on one battery. The head pivots 140 degrees. Over all the brightness of the light is great, its not LED, so the light is a little yellowish, but nothing to complain about as it will light up any project. One feature we noticed off the bat was the on and off switch. There is a nice button you have to move in order to turn the light on. This is a lot better than the push button switches as push button switches always turn off when you drop them or move them, or they turn on when you toss them in your bag and thus burn out the battery.

Charger- The charger in the combo kit is nice since it charges more than just the 28V Lithium batteries. This charger also charges 18V lithium and 18V Nicd. This might not seem important, but we have all experienced when we have too many chargers plugged in and not enough room for anything else. Now we can use multiple Milwaukee tools, but only have one charger plugged in. The charger will also charge Lithium batteries in about an hour and Nicd in about 40 minutes.

2 V28 Lithium Ion Batteries - The combo kit comes with two Lithium Ion batteries, a nice feature, since these batteries are expensive. One item we are looking forward to is the cold test. Over the years we have heard and read a lot of bad publicity on these batteries, not just the Milwaukee Lithium batteries, but all Lithium batteries in general. One knock is they don't work when they are cold. In our test we will leave them in the fridge over night to simulate the batteries being left outside over night.

The Milwaukee V28 Combo kit also includes:

Clip-Lok System
Side Handle
6-1/23 24T Carbide Blade
#2 Philips Bit
Rip Fence
Contractor Bag
2 Sawzall Blades
Overall we love the feel of the Milwaukee V28 System. We will be putting the reviews of each individual power tool up shortly, so check back under our power tool reviews!
