Pipe Tools: Milwaukee Force Logic Press Tools
Milwaukee Tool delivers the smallest, lightest and most "intelligent" solution for copper and steel pipe press connections with the new Force Logic Press Tool line featuring M18 and M12 tools.
With a one-handed, in-line design, the new press tools offer not only an ergonomic solution for navigating around installed pipes, but also deliver what Milwaukee says is the highest level of press accuracy and reliability available on the market.
Utilizing Milwaukee Redlink Electronics, Force Logic press tools monitor the force output of the mechanism to ensure quality connections — and provide the user peace of mind — by visually indicating both a secure connection and when the tool needs calibration.
Featuring a claimed best calibration standard in the industry, M18 and M12 tools only require service every 40,000 and 32,000 cycles respectively. This allows users up to 4X more connections between calibration inspections, keeping the tool on the jobsite (making money) up to 4X longer than competitive units.
Powered by M12 and M18 REDLITHIUM battery technology, Force Logic tools are compatible with full lines of product designed with the professional tradesmen in mind.
The jaws for the 2673-22 and 2473-22 are designed to work with press fittings provided by Elkhart, Viega, Tyco and Nibco, while the 2673-22XL provides more force for heavier press applications and is designed to work with Grinnell Mechanical’s G-Press stainless steel press system.
