Milwaukee Tool delivers a new solution that allows users to core with more confidence with the MX FUEL™ Handheld Core Drill. Part of the new MX FUEL™ Equipment System*, the new product delivers a safer handheld coring experience and the power to core up to 6” holes in reinforced concrete. The first battery-powered solution of its kind can be used without a nearby power source, making it the easiest coring solution anywhere without the hassle of extension cords and tripping circuit breakers.

“Drilling holes with a core drill is not something pros look forward to…many people we talked to knew someone that experienced kick back in a bind up or had put too much pressure on the tool causing the circuit breaker to trip,” said Brian Alves, Group Product Manager for Milwaukee Tool. “We set out to eliminate those frustrations, delivering a solution that was not only safe and hassle free, but had the power to get the job done.”

A patented clutch and AUTOSTOP™ technology deliver a safer coring experience. They provide the user with maximum control and reduce kick back during bind up situations.

With the power to core 6” holes in reinforced concrete, one of the most challenging applications, this battery-powered solution does not sacrifice capability. The time that was once spent looking for a power source or resetting circuit breakers, is now spent finishing the first hole and moving on to the next.

Designed to maximize productivity, features like the performance gauge guides users on the optimized drilling speed so they can drill faster, while the LED level helps them maintain accuracy throughout the application. Whether Handheld (MXF301-1CP) or Stand Mounted (MXF301-2CXS), the MX FUEL™ Handheld Core Drill is versatile enough for any job and is the easiest coring solution anywhere.

As an added benefit, ONE-KEY™,** provides the ability to track the drill with community tracking and alerts, complete inventory management, and industry leading smart-equipment technology to secure the user’s investment.

Milwaukee Tool will remain unwavering in their commitment to delivering disruptive innovation by working alongside trade professionals to identify challenges and provide solutions that are unparalleled in enhancing jobsite safety and productivity. The future of the jobsite is cordless.

*The MX FUEL™ Equipment System: This groundbreaking cordless system revolutionizes the light equipment market by delivering the performance, run-time, and durability demanded by the trades without the hazards associated with emissions, noise, vibration, and the frustrations of gas maintenance. Each of the solutions on the MX FUEL™ System go beyond the limitations of gasoline and power-cord units and operate off one completely compatible system all on the same battery. This is Equipment Redefined.

ONE-KEY™ Bluetooth Tracking Tag is the most complete Bluetooth tool and equipment tracker on the market. Backed by ONE-KEY™, the industry’s largest tracking network, users can easily attach the Tag anywhere, add to their digital inventory and track what matters most from a computer, tablet or smartphone.

“Whether one tool, or an entire crib of valuable tools and equipment, it is important for users to protect their investments and reduce the downtime that can come from looking for lost items,” said Andrew Lambert, Director of Product for Milwaukee Tool. “By leveraging the ONE-KEY™ network and Bluetooth technology, the Tag provides accurate information on the last seen date, time, and location of a tool when within 300ft of any ONE-KEY™ device, and offers additional key features that can help users manage their inventory.”

Once activated, the One-Key app will not only keep track of the tracker’s last known location, but will also have a 30-day history of everywhere it has been seen by anyone in the ONE-KEY™ tracking community. For added clarity, an accelerometer provides information on the last time that equipment was used as well. Furthermore, the owner can easily identify their equipment even if it cannot be visibly seen, with a new built-in speaker to ring their tag and locate it within 50 feet. Lastly, a Built-in NFC and a scannable QR code make for a simple 2-step activation, and allow the user to quickly identify a specific item even when the One-Key app is closed.

Built with a compact design for extreme versatility to go anywhere, the Tag can securely attach to anything through glue, screw, rivet, or zip tie to track more items than ever before. A durable, and weatherproof construction ensures the ability to withstand jobsite abuse, shock, drop, and extreme temperatures. Powered by an internal battery with a 3-year run time, the user can set up the tag once and alleviate the risk of breakage associated with replacing a battery.

The ONE-KEY™ Bluetooth Tracking Tag will be sold in 1-pack, 2-pack or 10-pack options, and is a true testament to Milwaukee’s focus and investment on connected technology. For more information on ONE-KEY™ please visit https://onekey.milwaukeetool.com/

Not all ball valves are the same. For PEX piping systems, whether plumbing or hydronic heating and cooling, the type of ball valve can actually impact system quality and performance. That’s why Uponor, the leader in polymer piping solutions, has launched a newly redesigned offering of ProPEX^® lead-free (LF) brass ball valves for both residential and commercial applications.

Committed to providing professionals with products they can trust, Uponor is offering the newly redesigned ball valves to provide greater value by delivering on quality and reliability all at a competitive cost. Now, engineers and installers can have greater confidence in meeting the performance and budget demands of today’s residential and commercial projects.

ProPEX LF Brass Commercial Ball Valve (group), LFC4825050SS< LFC4827575SS, LFC4821010SS, LFC4821313SS, LFC4821515SS, LFC4822020SS,

Manufactured from premium, lead-free, dezincification-resistant brass, these full-port ball valves feature positive tube stops that ensure installers insert the valve into the pipe far enough without overextension. The valves all feature a blowout-proof stem design to ensure a lifetime of trusted reliability that professionals have come to expect from Uponor. In addition, the ASTM F1960 connection method offers a solid, strong seal without the need for glues, torches, or fire watch, providing greater safety and cost savings on job sites.

The residential valves are available in sizes from ½” to 1″ and feature a chrome-plated ball along with a stop and drain (waste) option. The commercial valves are available in sizes from ½” to 2″ and feature a stainless-steel ball and stem along with stem extension kits to accommodate insulation thicknesses up to 2″.

Both ProPEX ball valve offerings are backed by a five-year warranty and meet IPC, UPC, and IRC building codes in addition to being listed to NSF 14, 61, 359, and 372 for residential and commercial construction.
