MILWAUKEE® Announces the MX FUEL™ 3600W/ 1800W Power Supply

CONTINUING OUR TRADITION FOR INNOVATE TOOLS, THE MX FUEL™ POWER SUPPLY IS CURRENTLY THE BEST TEMPORARY POWER SOLUTION FOR THE JOBSITE. SUPPLYING 3600 PEAK WATTS/ 1800 RUNNING WATTS OF PURE SINE WAVE ENERGY, THE POWER SUPPLY POWERS EVERYTHING FROM HIGH DEMAND 16A TOOLS TO SENSITIVE ELECTRONICS. Historically, generators have been a frustrating jobsite nuisance. Not only do they have to be operated outdoors due to excessive noise, but users must also worry about dangerous emissions, hazardous extension cords, petrol “ The new MXF Power Supply powers everything from high demand 16A tools to sensitive electronics. ” Additionally, users who are reliant on shared power sources such as spider boxes are often met with the frustrations of tripped breakers, extension cords, and voltage drops. The MX FUEL™ Power Supply is not only safer than petrol-powered generators, but it can also be used indoors, eliminates the need for petrol and extension cords, and doesn’t require engine maintenance, thus reducing downtime and allowing users to get jobs done faster! The compact size, zero emissions, and quiet operation of the power supply allow users to safely operate the unit in confined, indoor spaces and a roll cage provides durability for outdoor jobsite use. With a push button start, users can start it in seconds, getting up and running faster than ever before by eliminating the repetitive motions of pull starts. The MX FUEL™ Power Supply delivers enough power to run one 16 Amp tool and one lower wattage device simultaneously and can be powered by a single battery or two batteries for double the run time. A great advantage of the MX FUEL™ Power Supply is the interchangeable battery system, resulting in no downtime for the user.

How The Rise Of Power Tools Has Revolutionised The Construction Industry

The key issues facing the construction industry are usually budget and time constraints. We are increasingly pressured to complete projects within strict programmes whilst sticking to allocated budgets. The rise of power tools has been critical to making construction projects more efficient, quicker and less expensive. In the early ‘80s, the first battery powered tools hit the market. They were received with mixed emotions as many didn’t believe they would ever have the power to replicate cordless tools. But in recent years, cordless technology has advanced so far that most of us couldn’t see any other way to complete a job than with our trusted power tool in hand. The Power Of Volts One of the biggest advancements in power tools is the increase in voltage rating. Generally, if the voltage is higher, the tool will have more power to drive bigger bits. But bigger isn’t always better. If you work in small or confined spaces, you may benefit from a smaller voltage which will suit a smaller tool. This will be much easier and more comfortable to work with. Amp-hour Rating Our power tools have also been revolutionised by improved battery capacities. The Amp Hour (AH) specification tells us how much energy can be stored by the battery. Advancements in this technology means our cordless batteries can run for longer than ever before. Lithium-ion Batteries The creation of lithium-ion batteries has revolutionised the construction industry. Many batteries used for cordless power tools and machines are now lithium-ion and we can see why. They’re generally lighter than other types of batteries, making them easier to use. They can also store a much higher density of energy and hold their charge, so last a lot longer than traditional batteries. So, how has the development of power tools improved the construction industry? Shorter Programmes Power tools are much more efficient than traditional manual tools and make jobs much quicker to complete. This has allowed shorter project timescales to become a reality. Advance in Materials The rise of power tools has allowed the construction industry to advance massively. We can now use more ambitious materials and methods than ever before. Power drills allow us to penetrate materials that would be impossible manually. Cost Savings The rise of power tools and machinery has been hugely cost effective to the construction industry. Companies used to spend huge amounts of budget on man hours to get the job done. Now, our technological capabilities mean we can use less man-power and much quicker construction methods which massively reduces costs. There is no doubt that the rise of cordless power tools has revolutionised the construction industry. The power we now hold in our hands has made construction more efficient than ever before.

Milwaukee Launches New Tools

Milwaukee has just launched its second generation of M12 Fuel, which is expected to be even more capable, compact, and powerful than before. The new range presents completely redesigned and updated M12 FUEL Drill Driver, M12 FUEL Percussion Drill, and M12 FUEL ¼ Hex Impact Driver, which are replacing the original brushed motor versions. The M12 FUEL Drill Driver and M12 FUEL Percussion Drill are the only 12V tools on the market with an all metal 13mm chuck, which gives them the right amount of power to perform a wide range of applications. A POWERSTATE Brushless Motor is featured on each one of them, making them deliver up to 1700 RPM’s and 44 Nm of peak torque. Both tools are extremely portable and easily accessible in tight spaces, weighing in at only 1.2kg with battery and 167.7mm in length. They are the most capable, lightest weight, and most compact tools in their class, offering optimal solutions for Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, Remodelers, and Maintenance workers. The new M12 FUEL ¼ Hex Impact Driver delivers 20% faster application speeds compared to the previous model, with an output of more than 147 Nm of torque. The same Brushless Motor allows it to deliver up to 0-3,300 RPM with constant power output to drive screws faster. The tool comes with a four-mode DRIVE CONTROL feature, which provides users with the versatility of switching between modes in order to match the power and speed to the application at hand. It provides unmatched access in tight spaces and less fatigue, due to its 1.1kg weight and 131mm length. “Milwaukee Tool revolutionised the professional power tool market when we first created the 12V sub-compact space with the introduction of the M12 ™ system,” said Bela Berecz, Product Manager for Milwaukee Tool. “Ever since, we’ve continued to remain on the forefront of incredible technology advancements that have ultimately reshaped users’ expectations of cordless power tool capabilities.”
