Product Snapshot: Cordless Grinder and Compact Press Tool
Milwaukee's new lineup of M18 Fuel tools includes two cordless grinders. Available in a slide-switch lock-on or paddle-grip no-lock style, the grinders are designed to perform the same applications as traditional corded grinders. The 4.5-in. to 5-in. grinders feature brushless motors and are powered by Milwaukee's Red Lithium battery packs.

The RP 340 Press Tool is able to join copper and stainless-steel tubing from a half inch to 4 in. in diameter and PEX tubing and black-iron pipe from a half inch to 2 in. in diameter. The press tool is lighter and smaller than RIDGID's 330 Press Tool, and it can perform 200 presses on a single battery charge. When using the larger-capacity 18V Advanced Lithium 4 battery, the 340 can perform 400 presses on a single charge.
