Stay Warm While Doing Winter Home Improvement Projects With These Milwaukee Products

Just because winter is approaching doesn't mean your inner handyperson wants to take a rest. If you're the type of person who likes to tinker around and upgrade their house throughout all seasons, then you likely have your eye out for products that can help you stay warm while you do so. This is especially true if you live in the East and Midwest, where temperatures can dip below zero in the thick of winter. And even if they hover at a comfortable 30 degrees, the windchill can make it feel 20 degrees cooler. To combat that, there are a few ingenious Milwaukee products that can keep you warm during chilly winters as you get your garden and yard winter-ready or do some repairs on your home's exterior. 

Specifically, USB Rechargeable Heated Gloves can help you stay warm as you shovel, put burlap over vulnerable shrubbery, or put up holiday lights, and the M12 Heated AXIS Vest can fight off the worst of the windchill by warming your chest and abdomen, allowing you to stay out longer. Here is a closer look at the two handy products. 

Milwaukee's USB Rechargeable Heated Gloves are perfect for outdoor work that can leave your hands numb. That means if you're headed out for a few hours, you'll have better luck finishing your task if your fingers don't experience frostbite. That's where these heated gloves come in. Once charged, they offer six hours of warmth, letting you tackle the most demanding jobs outside. Whether you're setting up a dazzling light display for the holidays or winterizing your lawn, these gloves will keep you toasty until you're done with the task. Most of the glove is made from GRIDIRON Ripstop polyester, which is thick enough to protect you from cuts and scrapes, but the palms and fingers are made with leather, allowing you to bend and curl your hand as you need to. In addition, the index fingers are swipeable on phones and tablets, ensuring you don't have to take your gloves off for any reason. While it's an investment at $179, it's well worth it if you like to fix up the house and yard during winter. 

If your issue isn't cold hands but an easily chilled torso, then the M12 Heated AXIS Vest is a great addition. Clocking in at $169.97, it can last 8 hours on low, 4 hours on medium, and 2 hours on high. So, if the day is extra blustery, ensure your vest is fully charged, and you can wrap up your project in under two hours. It will heat both your chest and back, protecting you from the worst of the wind and cold. It's constructed from a wind and water-resistant material, has waist drawcords to keep the wind from sneaking underneath, and has twice the insulation of their other vests, ensuring you can finish your work in comfort.
