Milwaukee® Enhances Safety, Puts Distance Between Cablemen and Live Wires

Milwaukee, WI - Driving innovation while improving safety for underground cable professionals, Milwaukee Tool introduces the new M18™ FORCELOGIC™* 5" Underground Cable Cutter with Wireless Remote, the smartest way to cut. Integrated with cutting-edge Bluetooth® Technology, this solution eliminates the need for direct tool handling, significantly enhancing jobsite safety. Featuring an ergonomic design with advanced electronics, Milwaukee's new Underground Cable Cutter sets a standard for intelligent cutting solutions.

Simplifying the set-up and application process, the M18™ FORCELOGIC™ 5" Underground Cable Cutter with Wireless Remote features an enhanced ergonomic design for improved balance and maximum control. Designed with a guillotine jaw style, this cable cutter allows Cablemen to cut up to 5-inch (127 mm) Diameter Communications, Armored, Lead Sheath, Copper, and Aluminum Power Cables wirelessly. The adaptable forward handle rotates and pivots independently of the head to provide users maximum control, while its balanced design and hang hook enable the easiest setups in vaults. Featuring a head that rotates 180 degrees, the quick-release and turn-to-close style latch pin is easily opened or secured with just one touch. For added confidence, an integrated Last Cut application shut-off ensures a battery will never die in the middle of a remote cut and leave the application incomplete. Whether cutting locally or with a wireless remote, Milwaukee delivers an optimized cutting experience.

Potentially live cables create additional hazards on the jobsite. Increasing the distance between cable professionals and potential live wires serves as an effective strategy to mitigate these risks and build reassurance of a safe working environment. Utilizing cutting-edge Bluetooth® Technology, the M18™ FORCELOGIC™ 5" Underground Cable Cutter with Wireless Remote provides cut confirmation confidence for advanced user safety. The wireless remote operates via an exclusive connection, eliminating the possibility of interference from other smart devices. Following setup, Cablemen can activate the remote cutter and remove themselves from the hazardous area. Once the tool has completed the cut, a green LED on the wireless remote gives a positive indication to provide users confidence in the cut's completion. By providing the ability to remotely cut and separate the user from the tool, Milwaukee's Underground Cable Cutter eliminates the hazard of cutting potentially live cables for professionals on the job, driving safety and productivity.

Integrated with Milwaukee's advanced ONE KEY™** technology, the M18™ FORCELOGIC™ 5" Underground Cable Cutter with Wireless Remote allows users to sync their tool with their phone wirelessly. Tracking capabilities create custom reports for Cablemen as they upload their tool's history and data while integrated location services and tool security technology allow users to stay up to date on their tools' usage and inventory.

Milwaukee is committed to improving productivity by providing performance-driven and trade-focused solutions so users can perform an entire day's work on one battery system.
