The M18 Short Throw Press Tool w/PEX Crimp Jaws Creates Fastest, Effortless Installs from Branch to Fixture
MILWAUKEE (WI) Milwaukee Tool has broken new ground in the market for press tools with the launch of the M18 Short Throw Press Tool w/ PEX Krimp Jaws. The industrys first press tool optimized for residential installations, the new tool is the fastest press tool on the market, pressing 40% faster than competition, delivering force optimized for PEX installation, and eliminating downtime caused by calibration intervals. Milwaukee has introduced the M18 Short Throw Press tool w/ PEX Crimp jaws. This allows Milwaukee to offer a solution that can complete most residential installations today. It also reduces ownership costs and maximizes productivity for residential installers.
The residential space has largely turned toward PEX tubing due to its cost, speed of installation, and lack of corrosion versus copper. 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. Installers can use the M18 Short Throw Press tool with one hand because of its lightweight design. And, with a 3 second cycle time, and the ability to press 400 3 cm connections on a single charge, this new tool allows residential installers to do their job faster and easier than any solution theyve had up until now without paying for more force than is needed.
The M18 Short Throw Press tool offers peace of mind for even the most difficult jobs. Hand tools can cause inconsistent and difficult ring placement on fittings. The spring-loaded design in the Short Throw Press Tools jaws helps to hold the ring for exact alignment to the fitting. The new tool is consistent in its installation throughout its life. There is no calibration interval. Pre-press battery checks prevent the user from starting a pressing that is not possible due to low battery charge. Auto-Cycle assures a full press every single time and gives the user a green signal indicating that the connection has been completed.
The new M18 Short Throw Press Tool w/PEX Crimp Jaws is compatible with the F1807/F2159 copper crimp ring system, one of the leading systems in residential PEX installations today. The Short Throw Press Tool is also compatible with the Viega PureFlow Jaws, which are optimized for the PureFlow PEX Press System.
Milwaukee’s goal is to improve productivity in all types of installations. They offer trade-focused and performance-driven solutions that allow users to do a whole day’s work with one battery system. These new tools are fully compatible with the entire M18 line, now offering more than 125 power tool products.
