As part of the mechanical-hub.com #ProStaff program we are working with Kostas, the owner of @dekaplumbing . Here are his first thoughts of the new RIDGID Pex One 12V tool REPOST: Trying out the new @ridgidtools PEX ONE 12V. My initial reaction when I got this tool was, “there is no way this will work in tight spaces.” I was proved wrong immediately. I tried this out finishing a kitchen sink with dishwasher and fridge connections. 2 inches away from the back of the cabinet, this tool had no problem. I also noticed the head is larger then the manual hand crimper, this makes it easier crimping all fittings. I’m looking forward to using this tool more in the future. It’s quickly becoming one of my favourite tools . . . . . #plumbing #hvac #piping #electrical #pipefitter #plumber #carpentry #skilledtrades #boilers #tools #sharetheknowledge #toolsofthetrade #worksmartnotharder #minnesota #worldplumbers #servicetech #skills #prostaff #contractorsofinsta #contractorlife #teamtoolpig #hvaclife #mechanical #tiacrew #toolaholicapprovedtester

Delivering ultimate versatility and access, the new 12pc Ratchet and Socket Set features a ratchet with pivoting head that can be used as a ratchet, nut driver, and any angle in between. New proprietary sockets feature a parallel flat design for wrench compatibility and to deter rolling, as well as an optimized geometry to reduce stripping and breaking. Because socket sizes can often be hard to see on chrome and can fade more quickly when laser etched, socket sizes are hard-stamped into 2 flats of the socket for readability from multiple angles.

Milwaukee Tool continues to expand their Lighting Solutions with the introduction of the M18 ROVER™ Mounting Flood Light. Designed for trades that are constantly on the move, the new light features a 2” spring-loaded clamp and powerful magnets that allow users to turn virtually any jobsite surface into a hanging surface and illuminate whatever they need to with its rotating, folding head.

 

“By leveraging our leadership in cordless and LED technology, we’ve been able to provide flood lighting solutions that deliver on the durability, performance, and portability that halogen lights have historically failed to achieve,” said Jason Isaacs, Product Manager for Milwaukee Tool. “Not only does the new M18 ROVER™ Mounting Flood Light build on this offering by replacing halogen work lights, it’s also the most versatile flood light to-date. Adaptable to almost any lighting situation through its rotating light head design, integrated magnets and a tool-free mounting mechanism also allow it to mount to any surface, on any site, for any task.”

The rotating, folding head of the M18 ROVER™ Mounting Flood Light quickly directs light to where it is needed most without moving the light itself. A magnetic base allows users to stick the Flood Light to metal surfaces such as steel studs, electrical boxes, ductwork, and job boxes with a holding strength of over 25 lbs. A 2” spring- loaded reinforced clamp makes it quick and easy to mount to other common surfaces like work carts, wood studs, scissor lifts, ladders, and more. This larger capacity clap also allows it to fit over doors, rough-in lumber, and larger piping. With the ability to rest in 5 different positions, it can also direct light in multiple directions and angles.

Capable of providing up to 1500 lumens of light, the new M18 ROVER™ Mounting Flood Light can illuminate large workspaces for up to 20 hours on a single charge. The Flood Light features TRUEVIEW™ Technology, which utilizes the most advanced LED technology and optical designs to deliver a consistent beam, optimized color temperature, and true representation of colors and detail leading to a more productive work area.

A durable high impact polycarbonate lens design can survive harsh jobsite conditions and, when paired with the Flood Light’s rubber over mold, can survive 9’ drops. Additionally, with an IP54 rating, the Flood Light is protected from dust and water. Similar to all of Milwaukee’s high output LED lights, the new Flood Light also features a limited lifetime LED warranty, and a 5-year warranty on the product.

For added utility, a handle/tie-off zone allows it to be easily carried or tethered while use on a scissor lift.

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. This new tool is fully compatible with the entire M18™ line, now offering more than 150 power tool solutions. Through their continued investments in game-changing technology, Milwaukee will remain relentless in the design and development of lighting solutions with the ability to adapt, perform and survive the demands of professional use.
