Milwaukee M18 FORCE LOGIC 6T Latched Linear Utility Crimper
Milwaukee Tool continues to deliver unprecedented productivity enhancement for linemen with the M18™ FORCE LOGIC™ 6T Latched Linear Utility Crimper, providing linemen the easiest way to make uniform crimps. Optimized for both underground and overhead distribution applications, this latest addition to Milwaukee’s 6T utility crimper lineup features a latched head that easily opens and secures around the wire and rotates 340 degrees for maximum control in any orientation.
"We are committed to designing solutions for the unique challenges of the power utility industry,” said Troy Marks, Group Product Marketing Manager for Milwaukee Tool. “The latched linear style utilizes linear pressure to create the most uniform crimp appearance, allowing for an even distribution of the crimped material. By ensuring smooth and even crimps, users are able to more easily apply protective wrap over the outside of the connector, ultimately improving isolation from the elements. This style also easily opens and secures, giving the user added confidence knowing only the intended wire gets crimped.”
The M18™ FORCE LOGIC™ 6T Latched Linear Utility Crimper features an inline design, and the latched-style head is easily opened and rotates 340 degrees for unmatched access into confined spaces. The enlarged trigger and dual electronic release buttons allow both left- and right-handed utility workers to easily activate the cordless crimper tool without changing hand positions. The Milwaukee 6T Utility Crimper is lighter weight and more balanced than competitive 6T latched crimpers, reducing operator fatigue.
Featuring Predictive Force Monitoring (PFM™), full pressure is ensured on every cycle for consistent crimps, with a green LED instantly verifying when full pressure is reached. Before beginning a cycle, the tool automatically does a pre-crimp battery check, ensuring there is enough power to complete a crimp. With sealed electronics to keep dirt and moisture out, the high-speed hydraulic system is optimized for consistent performance in temperatures from -4°F to 140°F for unmatched reliability in all climates and weather.
As a complete problem-solving solution, the tool is compatible with, ONE KEY™,** allowing users to sync the tool wirelessly with their mobile device or desktop. Users can upload data and history to create custom reports that track the pressure and timing of every crimp, identify where and when the tool was last seen, and track the utilization and service intervals of the tool to maximize uptime and maintain inventory.
Milwaukee is committed to improving productivity by providing performance-driven and trade-focused solutions so users can perform an entire day's work on one battery system. The M18™ FORCE LOGIC™ 6T Latched Linear Utility Crimper is fully compatible with the entire M18™ line, now offering more than 250 power tool solutions.
