As you might know, Milwaukee Tool holds an annual new tool media event (NPS) where they announce a whopping number of new tools.
NPS is usually an exclusive media/press/influencer event.
This year, the COVID-19 threw a wrench into things, and NPS20 was effectively cancelled. Its absence has been felt, leaving us all without the typical window that allows us to look into the Milwaukee Tool’s future future releases.
How are we going to know what’s coming out soon?
That’s where the new Milwaukee PIPELINE comes into play.
What is the Milwaukee Tools Pipeline?
Pipeline will be a new web series where Milwaukee Tool shows off their latest and greatest new tools and accessories. At the time of this posting, (4) episodes are scheduled.

Should You Watch?
Every year, a lot of people ask “how can we partake in Milwaukee’s NPS new tools show,” and the answer is “you can’t.”
Some influencers and media channels live-stream from the event, or record demos and presentations, and that gives you a glimpse of things. But, that’s also an unfiltered stream of presentations and demos, often with heads and shoulders in the way of cameras, or noisy tools being demo’ed in the background.
Registration is free. The question isn’t should you watch, but why wouldn’t you?
Your Expectations for ToolGuyd New Tool Coverage?
Milwaukee has provided some ideas on media participation, and I’m interesting in hearing your thoughts on this. Some of the suggestions include:
- Hosting a watch party
- Hosting a Q&A or interview after the event
- A more in-depth view of the development and innovation behind a new solution
Media will receive more details, imagery, and information – typical press kit stuff – and so I’ll be able to answer your questions once announcements are made. But, I’ll also be digesting information at about the same time as viewers.
I’m thinking that we could follow up with a rundown of each episode after they go live, and you guys could chime in about you want to see discussed in more detail. What are your thoughts in video interviews? Perhaps remote demos? We have some time to plan things out.
