MILWAUKEE, WI Milwaukee Tool is breaking barriers in the press tool market with the introduction of the new M18 Short Throw Press Tool, the industrys first press tool optimized for residential installations. This tool presses 40% faster than the competition and is the fastest on the market. Delivering force optimized for PEX installation, and eliminating downtime caused by calibration intervals, the M18 Short Throw Press Tool reduces cost of ownership and maximizes productivity for the residential installer. With the new press tool platform comes jaws unique to the new tool, the first of which are compatible with the Viega PureFlow Pex Press System.
Because of its low cost, ease of installation and lack of corrosion, PEX tubing has been a popular choice for residential spaces. Alex Boll, Milwaukee Tool Product Manager, stated that users used to manually join PEX fittings using heavy, cumbersome tools or invest in hydraulic press tools to press metals. The lightweight, in-line design of the new M18 Short Throw Press Tool enables the installer to press with just one hand. This new tool is faster than any other solution and can press 400 3 cm connections with one charge.
The M18 Short Throw Press tool delivers security and reliability, even for the most difficult jobs. With no calibration interval, the new tool delivers consistency in installation over the entire life of the tool. A pre-press battery check prevents the user from starting a press the tool cannot complete due to insufficient battery charge, while Auto-Cycle ensures a full press every time and indicates to the user via a green light that the connection is complete.
Powered by Milwaukee REDLITHIUM batteries, the new M18 FORCE LOGIC Press Tool is fully compatible with the entire M18 line, now offering more than 100 power tool products.
