Milwaukee’s recently announced new Packout-compatible insulated tumblers. The new tumblers are vacuum-insulated and feature a neat-looking sliding lid mechanism that helps keep the opening spout clear.
But what if you want something different or less expensive?
This CamelBak Chute water bottle is just $21.

CamelBak is a great brand, and the Chute a convenient design, with twist-top and magnetic holder that keeps the cap out of your face when you’re drinking.
If you don’t care for the Milwaukee branding, the Chute’s available in different colors at Amazon.
If you prefer stainless steel, Milwaukee also has a 20oz Tundra bottle by Basecamp, with vacuum-insulated walls and a powder coated finish, for $22.
Milwaukee’s swag shop also has a logoed neoprene can holder, which keeps typical 12oz beverage cans cold for longer.
The Milwaukee Tool can koozie is priced at $1.45.
There’s also the Toadfish “No Spill” can holder. They call it unspillable, which probably comes in handy on boats and such. It’s $30.
See the Toadfish can cooler on Amazon.
Here’s a 16oz coffee/hot beverage bug, for $10.75.
All of these and more are available at the Milwaukee Tool swag shop, which is one of the company’s best-kept secrets.
There’s some pretty cool stuff there for fans of the brand.

I can’t believe they aren’t using “fuel” as part of this.
Jared
😄 Despite the loud red color schemes, I suppose that goes to show they are capable of some restraint.

They might have some type of chemical tester that knows caffeine content and it will add FUEL when it gets to a certain level. Coffee no, monster yes

They ARE brushless after all…

I’m seriously waiting for the vacuum insulated food containers.
Stuart
They have food jars, for soups and stews – here’s the Thermos: https://amzn.to/3y1gdga
What types of food containers would you like to see vacuum insulated?
Ball_bearing
No, I meant Milwaukee branded ones. If they are offering tumblers they might as well offer food containers.
We used to have a wide mouth Aladdin insulated container, that held two smaller jars inside. I guess something like the Zujiroshi bento that TonyT linked would be a great substitute.
Thanks to both of you.

Go for the best: Zojurishi. I was just looking at these at a local Asian supermarket https://www.amazon.com/Zojirushi-SW-EAE50XA-Stainless-Steel-Food/dp/B003DZ0HAC/ but don’t need one because I have the king of food containers, the Zo Mr. Bento https://www.amazon.com/Zojirushi-SL-JAE14SA-Bento-Stainless-Silver/dp/B000246GSE
BTW, we also have an old Thermos insulated soup container and a variety of BuBee (Fat Ant, made in Taiwan) insulated containers – I used to use those to pack a hot lunch for my kids.

The coffee mug actually holds 16oz. I’ve had mine for 5 plus years (on my second since I broke one) It’s my morning coffee mug!
Stuart
Thanks! I updated the post.
They say it a 6oz mug that holds 16oz, but I only registered the first number.

Never understood why they put tea cup handles onto something designed to hold 16 ounces of coffee. I want a real handle that I can hold while wearing a Milwaukee branded work glove.

I have had my Chute for ’bout 12 years. I love it, fantastic pic on their part

The first one, camelback, I own, for it from target and it’s a great water bottle, thick plastic, the lid has a magnet that keeps it open and prevents it from coming fully open if you unscrew it and forget. It’s also three bucks cheaper.

I’m just glad they’re calling these what they are… Drinkware… And not “Hydration Containment Systems”… The Packout ones are still Drinkware I might add, no matter what they want to be called.
It’s Milwaukee… They deserve to merch the hell out of their brand! I don’t know why they haven’t released this to the public until now, in all honesty. They could’ve started… Well… I would only recollect them as a brand at all back in the 90’s… but whenever they started picking up a rabid fanbase… These drinking vessels of various types (Seriously? It took them this long to produce a Mug for common, everyday use? One that wasn’t limited to trade shows or press packs? That hurts my brain! I wanna buy one for one of my adoptive little Brothers who swear by Milwaukee, where I swear by DeWALT! That’s how obvious this kind of thing should be!) really should have been released, and expanded as trends for drinkware expanded to water bottles and such over the years.
I don’t know what exclamation is more helpful in this case: “About Time!” or “Bring It On!” I’m a DeWALT guy, and it annoys me that Milwaukee didn’t do this a long time ago, considering the feuds between the fandoms of the two companies. Milwaukee nuts would have happily trolled DeWALT guys for decades if they had all this merch to rub in their faces!

Aww the baby onesies that say “nothing butt heavy doody” aren’t on the site anymore.
Stuart
I noticed that as well. Maybe they were selling too well and are now only visible and available to Milwaukee employees.
Matt
A Milwaukee mug may hold the coffee, but a Makita machine might have brewed it.
Stuart
That’ll take 2 water tank fill-ups, 3 full heating cycles (5oz in 5 minutes), and a fully charged 5Ah battery.

Just wait until Milwaukee private-labels a Jetboil.
