Discussion
Milwaukee showed off a broad expansion of their electrical hand tool lineup at last year’s Pipeline media event.
There’s more on the way – much more, and not just insulated hand tools.
In addition to these and more new insulated hand tools, there will be more crimpers, additional styles of wire strippers, and new punchdown tools for network cable terminations.
There are numerous driving forces behind Milwaukee’s electrical hand tool expansion. In addition to greater investment in this market segment as a whole, the brand has been given increased presence and visibility at Home Depot stores.
As you might be aware, Home Depot stores refreshed their electrical hand tool aisle a couple of months ago. Following Klein Tools’ availability at Lowe’s stores for the first time in more than 10 years, Home Depot’s electrical hand tool aisle is now populated with both Klein and Milwaukee products.
This new 5pc insulated hand tools set – and its individual components – are just part of what’s coming out.
