Crimper: Electronically Controlled Hydraulics
The M18 Force Logic 600 MCM Crimper can make crimps in heavy electrical cables when operated one-handed. The battery-powered hydraulic crimper features a jaw design that aligns with the cable, ensuring a proper crimp. The tool’s hydraulics adjust during the crimp, reducing pressure to avoid damaging the cables. After the jaws cycle, they can be opened with a single button, allowing the operator to quickly move on to the next crimp. The Force Logic 600 MCM Crimper is compatible with Milwaukee’s wireless OneKey tool-management system, allowing telematics performance data to be gathered from the tool.
