Milwaukee 48-22-8290 25-Pocket Puncture Resistant Aerial Tool Apron

Pockets way to deep for tools. Not designed by someone who works in rubber gloves. Magnet is in bad spot.

I like the layout of everything. Hammer is in a good spot or maybe I’ve just gotten used to it now. The outside pockets for hot cutters and bits fold in and the bits get hooked on my harness straps at my thighs non stop it’s pretty frustrating. The front pockets that are for impact are way too flimsy and my impact constantly leans out and sometimes even lays on the trigger and the drill runs. Make one of those pockets fit for impacts. POCKETS way too deep. Stuffed tape balls in them to hold tools higher

The pockets are way to long. Had to put H taps in them so I could get my tools in them. The hammer isn’t in a good spot. It didn’t really rip much which is good. Wouldn’t buy one with my own money but on the company dime, yeah ok

Plenty of pockets and it's holding up so far, the only problems I've had is the tool pockets are deep and lineman pliers, ruler, wrenches, are hard to get out with my rubber gloves on. Had to put rags in bottom of pockets to get tools higher so I can grip them.

Use this apron on a daily basis as a contractor out of LU 126. Love Milwaukee stuff in general, but was hoping for a little more thought on this one. Both outside pockets (for cutters & auger bits constantly fold in which was super annoying. I ended up putting a piece of 1/4 plywood on the back of the apron so I could tape both pockets flat back which has worked well. All other pockets are much too deep so you either have to hang most of your tools from them or throw some nuts in the bottom to prop the tool up. Both larger bottom pockets are super floppy, wish the front panel in both was a little more rigid so the pockets didn’t bulge out into my shins when I put snap taps or tape in them.

I am a catv lineman and am fully outfitted with battery power tools. I have modified it greatly to fit a at235p bucket had to cut off the left side pockets to make room for joystick. Cut pieces of 3/4 pvc to accommodate 6 nut drivers in two of the pockets. use the knife holder for my 9's. hammer holder is either used for 7/16 impact or 1/2 hammer drill with coring tool attached. It would be awesome if Milwaukee could maybe make one of these that would actually fit a at235p bucket.

This apron was awesome at first. I love the hammer placement. The downfall is the top where the bucket hooks go tears up way too fast my plastic support has already busted through the apron and slides out. It’s I nice design just not very durable.

Overall a pretty decent tool board. Needs some tweaking though. Tool pockets are to deep, your typical Klein’s, channel locks, bug wrench’s, etc. aren’t long enough for the pouch’s. Hammer loop is great, short extendo pocket is great. The drill bit holder is horrible, always folding into the bucket and getting in the way. Could be s great tool board. Just needs some work!

I've been a lineman for over 30 years and within the past year our utility purchased all Milwaukee power tools and presses and bucket bags and this apron. Every other item that we use is good quality and this apron is of high quality and will last but, it's too wide for some buckets and the pocket layout is unlike any other apron on the market which is not a good thing. The pliers pouch is usually on the right since most people are right handed and that's usually the most used tool. The hammer is used less and should not occupy the spot it does and just about everything else about this apron doesn't appear to have had the input of a lineman in its design. I expected so much more from Milwaukee on an item like this since Milwaukee listens to its users as much or more than any other manufacturer out there. I hate to be negative but, this is a real flop and needs a complete redesign by some real linemen.

The overall design of the apron is decent. The pockets are well spaced and their depth is accurate for the tool. However, my experience with the quality of craftsmanship was similar to some of the other reviews posted. The knife pocket is definitely not puncture resistant as stated. The sewing hems are not durable and need stronger threading. The support bar split after a couple months use and the apron became flimsy. It would also be helpful if the dimensions of the apron were noted on the Milwaukee website along with a max weight limit for the apron. A wide variety of tool apron sizes would help accommodate the different sized bucket lifts.
