Milwaukee 2270-20 Contact Temperature Meter Preview
The new Milwaukee 2270-20 Contact Temperature Meter can simultaneously measure two temperature points. It has a high contrast white on black display that can be read across the room and simple controls that are easy to use. In fact, the entire user interface is very simple. The tool performs Celsius to Fahrenheit conversion, simultaneous T1 and T2 measurements, and even difference measurements. It can store minimum and maximum temperature readings and has a strong removable magnetic base for hanging it directly, or via suspension, off duct work, panels and other metallic surfaces.
Milwaukee 10-inch Reaming Torpedo Level 48-22-5109 Preview
Milwaukee has a couple of new torpedo levels. We already looked at their 10″ Electrician’s Level ($30 retail) and now we’re taking a good hard look at their 10″ Reaming Level. This new torpedo level has two ways in which it can be used to ream or de-burr PVC. The first is used for reaming the inside of PVC pipe from 1/2″ up to 1″. But it can also ream pipe by placing the level flat against the end of a pipe and using the grooves on the torpedo to clear off 1.5″, 2″, 2.5″, 3″, 3.5″, 4″, 5″ and 6″ PVC pipe. That is extremely versatile and should make for a pretty innovative tool that can save tons of time in the field. Anytime you can grab one less tool or shave off minutes from a repetitive job, you’re going to save money. At $24, the Milwaukee 10″ Reaming Torpedo Level should pay itself off in a few days.
Milwaukee 10-inch Torpedo Level 48-22-5009 Preview
Milwaukee’s new 10″ Electrician’s Level will retail for $30 and has a neat function whereby you can “hang” it on a double-gang wall switch and level them out by allowing the switches to protrude through the level itself. So in addition to a four vial level with rare earth magnets to hold it to steel studs, conduit or duct work, the 10″ Electrician’s Torpedo Level is a specialized tool for making sure your switches are perfect – before you fasten the plates. But not only switches… flip the torpedo level around and you can also position it onto a double-gang outlet to line those up as well.

Milwaukee Black High Visibility Heated Jackets
At the Milwaukee New Tool event, Cole Conrad, tasked with growing the company’s heated jacket business, demoed the newest product. We reviewed the original M12 Heated Jacket remember requesting a black version two years ago, and Milwaukee came through – and then some. The new models include a black jacket and the new High Visibility model. New features include woven fleece into the lining of the jacket to make them naturally warmer – even before adding the M12-generated heat source. The front icon has also been changed to include a hand icon that provides separately zoned heat to the pockets. This is independent from the core heating zones. In this way, the pockets and core can be independently set to high or low heat.
