Surely, there is a lot to like and laud about human beings, but at the same time, nothing has proven to be as worthy of that praise as our knowhow in getting consistently better. This particular knowhow has, so far, brought the world some pretty huge milestones, with technology emerging as quite a major member of the stated group. The reason why we hold technology in such a high regard is, by and large, predicated upon its skill-set, which guided us towards a reality that nobody could have imagined otherwise. Nevertheless, if we look beyond the surface for one hot second, it will become abundantly clear how the whole runner was also very much inspired from the way we applied those skills across a real world environment. The latter component, in fact, did plenty and then some to give the creation a spectrum-wide presence, and as a result, initiated a full-blown tech revolution. Of course, the next thing this revolution did was to scale up the human experience through some outright unique avenues, but even after achieving a feat so notable, technology will somehow continue to bring forth the right goods. The same has turned more and more evident in recent times, and assuming one construction-themed development ends up with the desired impact, it will only put that trend on a higher pedestal moving forward.

Milwaukee Tool has officially announced an expansion of its MX FUEL Equipment System lineup with a host of new products, including submersible pump, high-cycle concrete vibrator, rammer, tower light, saw cart, and battery expansion etc. Starting from the MX FUEL 1 HP 2 inches Submersible Pump, it is designed to provide portability to pump anywhere without mandating the need of a generator. One thing it does leverage, however, is an auto-sensing and auto-shut off technology so to adjust performance in regards to matching the inflow of water. This includes turning the pump off once water level is low, saving users not just their time but also positioning the pump to last longer without burnout. Now, when you put that alongside Milwaukee Tool’s MX FUEL XC6.0 battery, the submersible pump has shown to achieve around 20 minutes of run-time on high, as well as up to 2,000 gallons capacity per charge. Next up, there is l MX FUEL High Cycle Concrete Vibrator. The stated concrete vibrator is all about conceiving the most powerful and most consistent consolidation by sustaining 11,500 VPM in the stiffest concrete. Furthermore, it also eliminates any need of a dedicated high-cycle generator and extension cord, replacing the same with a wireless remote to let users control the function even when they are more than 30 feet away from the vibratory unit. Pairing this one up with MX FUEL REDLITHIUM FORGE XC8.0 Battery Pack will notably see the device consolidating up to 90 yards³ per charge, all while utilizing a 1.75 in. head with a 7 ft. whip. Then, we have the brand-new MX FUEL 70 Kg Rammer, which is well-equipped to deliver enough empower to hit harder and travel faster. At the same time, it also maximizes productivity, but the higher output shouldn’t indicate any drop in the overall compaction performance. Making this rammer all the more impressive is how it hands you a centralized interface for the purpose of simplifying control over adjustments and maneuverability in trenches or confined spaces. A pairing of MX FUEL 70kg Rammer and MX FUEL REDLITHIUM FORGE HD12.0 Battery should help the former achieve 25 minutes of continuous run-time or over a quarter mile of compaction.

Moving on, the development in question also introduces us to MX FUEL ROCKET Dual Power Compact Tower Light. Offering a relatively faster set-up, the stated light requires 75% less space to store and transport, in comparison to the previously-launched MX FUEL ROCKET Tower Light/Charger. Apart from that, it effectively unlocks an access to 15,000 lumens of task and area lighting, alongside coverage of over 2,300 sq. ft., which is nearly five times the usable light displayed by the M18 ROCKET Dual Power Tower Light. The given device also provides up to 3 hours of run-time on high when powered with the MX FUEL REDLITHIUM XC406 battery, bringing a greater amount of value to its Dual Power capabilities that already enable all day use. Another major update comes in the form of MX FUEL Portable Battery Extension. This product bears the responsibility to seamlessly connect with MX FUEL equipment to remove the weight of a MX FUEL battery pack. Such a move will be set in motion to reach 45% lighter weight, thus ensuring less fatigue on handheld equipment. The extension can be worn as a backpack for easy transport, or it can also be placed on the ground while the operator uses handheld MX FUEL equipment. As for its performance, the MX FUEL Portable Battery Extension maintains peak performance alongside all MX FUEL equipment iterations, and it also remains compatible with all MX FUEL batteries.

Hold on, we are far from done here, considering we still haven’t discussed Milwaukee Tool’s Cut-Off Saw Cart. Meant to be used in conjunction with MX FUEL 14 inches Cut-Off Saw (MXF315), the said device conceives longer and easier cuts. In practice, this means the facility to cut precisely at different and adjustable depths. One of the other main focal points in this area will be to minimize the potential for muscle strain and fatigue.  From now onwards, Milwaukee Tool’s product line will also feature a M18 FUEL Overhead Rotary Hammer with an Integrated Dust Extraction solution, which is going to deliver superior ergonomics for overhead drilling and simplified dust collection. To carry out the promised task, the solution will use a built-in dust extractor, as that creates lighter weight and a more balanced design. The new side handle design will further allow the operator to maintain better posture throughout the application for lower fatigue. Interestingly enough, there is an AUTOSTOP Kickback protection in play just to offer enhanced safety for the operator by preventing over-rotation in a bind-up. Joining that is a POWERSTATE Brushless motor to provide the fastest drilling for small ceiling anchors and enough power to complete up to 5/8 in. holes in concrete. Turning our attention to the M18 FUEL PACKOUT Dual Battery 9 Gallon Dust Extractor, it is a tool geared towards extending sustained suction with dual automatic filter cleaning by maintaining air performance levels so to eventually enhance productivity. It also supplies cordless convenience with corded capabilities that are critical for multi-phase sites. Beyond that, users can expect to see VACLINK, an integrated wireless dust control technology which allows users the ability to activate dust extractor from the remote or tool for increased efficiency on the jobsite. We touched on how the dust extractor will enhance productivity, but what we are still yet to mention is its safety mechanics. These mechanics show up on the surface once you look at the device’s integrated low-flow alarm that alerts the user when the airflow reaches a level on which dust extraction is no longer effective. The said alarm is intended to play the role of a medium in maintaining usage and airflow levels at an optimal level.

Among other products, Milwaukee Tool’s would be looking to launch ROLL-ON 7200W/3600W 2.5kWh Power Supply. The idea here is to provide the best power for the toughest jobs, set-up instantly to eliminate gas and temporary power hassles, and provide power virtually anywhere. Built to conceive high energy and runtime to facilitate demanding applications, the product in question features a REDLITHIUM Integrated 2.5kWh Battery, along with two 20A duplex breaker outlets, one USB-C, and one USB-A to provide power for multiple 20A corded tools, chargers, and sensitive electronics. Given the comprehensive supporting set-up, it is able to clock 7200W of starting power and 3600W of running power. Coming back to the fact it can be powered anywhere, ROLL-ON™ boasts use cases across both indoors and temporary outdoor facilities, helped to a great extent by no emissions, quiet operation, and IP54 rating to withstand jobsite conditions. One more thing helping the product is its integration with ONE-KEY technology, an integration which means users are provided the ability to track, manage, and adjust charge rate options in a way that maximizes outlet usage onsite. The product mix will even see the arrival of a new M18 FUEL 6-1/2 in. Circular Saw. This Circular Saw is going to offer class-leading performance, with an objective of 20% more power and up to 40% faster cut speed. Packing together Redlink Plus Electronics, the product supplies maximum tool performance and protection from overload, overheating, or over-discharge. In case that’s not enough, upon being paired with Milwaukee’s M18 REDLITHIUM HIGH OUTPUT XC6.0 battery, the saw delivers up to 300 cuts per charge. Other features of the saw include electric blade brake, LED work light, rafter hook, belt hook, and all-magnesium guards and shoe. Finally, there is the M18 FUEL Duplex Nailer which increases productivity and optimizes the ergonomics of concrete form assembly. Boasting firing rates of up to four nails per second, the device promises to seat nails into all wooden formwork materials. In fact, pit it against traditional hammer and nail applications, and you’ll realize how the new Nailer presents a 7x increase in productivity and a drastic reduction in muscle effort. The said reality is achieved on the back of a tool-free jam clearance and depth of drive adjustment, both joining their value to reduce downtime on the job.
