Actually, Milwaukee’s M18 Fuel series offers more than a one trick pony, Visit M18 here.
The M18 Fuel Pipe Threader with One Key launches August 1st- so you might want to buy your chocolate bars as early as possible to look for your golden ticket (apologies to Roald Dahl).
Here is their press release:
“M18 FUEL™ Pipe Threader w/ ONE-KEY™ Milwaukee® is resetting the boundaries of cordless yet again with the M18™ system, shattering expectations with the World’s First Cordless portable pipe threader.
Leveraging REDLITHIUM™ Battery Technology, REDLINK PLUS™ Intelligence, and POWERSTATE ™ Brushless Motor, installers will thread faster than corded and deliver all day run time, threading up to 25 2” threads and over 60 ½” threads on black iron pipe with a single charge.
This new tool eliminates the dread that surrounds threading with pony threaders today by delivering the industry’s Most Controlled Threading. The M18 FUEL™ Pipe Threader’s integrated Side-Grip and Die Head Retention Lock eliminates the need for installers to place their hands on a spinning die head to start a thread.
Equipped with AUTOSTOP™ technology to protect against kickback, if the die head starts to bind the M18 FUEL™ Pipe Threader senses the tool’s movement and shuts the tool down. In addition, the Milwaukee Support Arm handles all of the extreme forces required during threading, enabling one handed threading and freeing a second hand for oiling.
Installers can now thread all the way up to 2” pipe without fighting the tool, creating the most effortless threading solution available.”
Extra Notes:
- Compatible with all Ridgid Die heads currently used with any Ridgid 700s
- Can Thread (Black Iron, Stainless, Galvanized, RMC and PVC Coated) up to 2″
