For the past year and a half, these Milwaukee Tools Super Rugged Flexion Work Pants (Model M650G) have been what I wear every single day fixing cars and trucks. I’m not easy on work clothes. Most of my jobs are done on the ground with no lift, crawling under vehicles, kneeling on concrete, and getting covered in diesel oil, grease, and grime. After hundreds of washes, these pants have held up incredibly well—no rips, no tears, and only minor color fading. In this video, I compare a brand new pair of Milwaukee M650G pants to a pair I’ve been wearing daily for about 18 months, so you can see exactly how they hold up under real mechanic abuse. This isn’t a fashion review—this is about real-world durability, comfort, and functionality for people who actually work for a living. ⸻ What I cover in this video: • Daily mechanic use (cars & trucks) • Working on the ground with no lift • Diesel oil, grease, and stain resistance • Fit, flexibility, and comfort while working • Brand new vs 18-month-old comparison • Honest pros (and small cons) ⸻ Milwaukee Work Pants Featured: • Milwaukee Super Rugged Flexion Work Pants • Model: M650G 👉 Check them out here: [Affiliate Link Here] (Some links may be affiliate links, which help support the channel at no extra cost to you.) ⸻ If you’ve worn Milwaukee workwear—or have a pair of work pants you swear by—drop it in the comments.

About This Video

In this video I’m putting my work pants through a real mechanic abuse test—because that’s exactly what I do every day in my shop. I’m Brian Essick from How to Automotive, and I’ve been wearing the Milwaukee Super Rugged Flexion Work Pants (M650G) every single day for over a year (closer to a year and a half). I don’t have a hoist, so I’m constantly on my knees on concrete, crawling under cars and trucks, and laying on my back doing repairs. I show you my worn pair next to a brand-new pair with the tags still on so you can see the difference for yourself. The big takeaway is durability: after more than 100 washes and daily use, these pants have held up incredibly well—no rips, no tears, no flaring at the heels, and only minor fading. I also point out the stitching (double/triple stitched where it matters), the flex in the crotch area for working positions, and the pocket layout that’s actually usable for tools. One thing that surprised me is how well they resist stains—considering how much diesel oil, fuel, grease, and grime I’ve gotten on them, they don’t retain stains like most work pants do. This isn’t a fashion review; it’s a real-world report from the shop floor.
