New Milwaukee Tools from World Of Concrete

Milwaukee’s MX Fuel system has some new tools added to the 25+ tool platform. I was surprised how light the MX Fuel Backpack Blower is!

More new tools from Milwaukee at World Of Concrete included the following:

M18™ and M12™ Gangbox Rapid Charger  (press release)

The M18™ and M12™ Gangbox Rapid Charger is uniquely designed for users working out of gangboxes and other steel storage spaces on commercial jobsites. By utilizing the strong magnetic base or cleat, the rapid charger can be mounted in multiple different orientations, maximizing storage space within a gangbox. This battery charger includes a 450L flood light which illuminates stored supplies allowing users to spend less time at the gangbox and get back to work quicker. This four bay M18™ and M12™ charger can charge two batteries simultaneously at a rapid rate, then automatically moves to the next two, leading to less downtime. The charger features two M18™ Only bays and two M18™ and M12™ Hybrid Bays, allowing users who operate with both systems to utilize one charger. The M18™ and M12™ Gangbox Rapid Charger includes (2) USB-C 15W ports, providing users the ability to charge small devices such as Milwaukee’s rechargeable personal lighting solutions, phones, and tablets. The rapid charger is optimized for all major models and brands of gangboxes and steel storage found on commercial jobsites. Through its faster charging and intentional design, the M18™ and M12™ Gangbox Rapid Charger is redefining the way our users charge batteries on commercial jobsites.

Power Manager – 15 or 20 Amp Circuit

The Milwaukee Power Manager for 15 or 20-amp branch circuits allows users to manage a larger number of M12™, M18™ and MX FUEL™ chargers to charge more batteries. Our Power Manager enables users to maximize the capabilities of their electrical infrastructure and avoid tripped breakers. Designed for use with battery chargers, the Power Manager monitors the power being pulled from each outlet and energizes the maximum number of outlets possible. The power manager automatically turns on additional outlets as batteries finish charging and power becomes available. This facilitates users with the highest energy demands to avoid unnecessary infrastructure upgrades, manually changing packs on chargers, and overloading electrical circuits. The Power Manager includes a power throttle to customize the total power being pulled through the device to support other circuit needs. This solution is compatible with the modular PACKOUT™ storage system for easy mounting and flexibility as charging needs change over time. With the Power Manager, users can expand the capabilities of their circuits for extended periods of time, without additional steps to manage the charging process.
