in this video we're going to showcase a number
of unique offerings from milwaukee specifically designed for electricians and we're going to
touch base with matt and tammy they're both sparkies that use milwaukee tools on the daily
let's start with these two here the m18 cable stripper and the m18 185 millimeter crimper
the cable stripper strips those cables fast the bushings are sold separately but you simply
insert the bushing that matches your cable size into the tool then set the depth of how far along
the cable you want it to strip and you're off to the races it'll strip along the cable as far as
76 millimeters or three inches and once you've got your cable stripped you're ready to crimp on
your fittings now i'm only crimping 95 millimeter square cable here but this crimper can crimp up to
300 millimeter square cable with six tons of force just like the bushings for the cable stripper the
dies for the crimper are sold separately and it's as simple as matching the dies to the cable size
you're working with then holding down the trigger until that crimp cycle is complete both tools have
a narrow head and a balanced design for working in a tight or crowded panel or box if you're working
with large cables on the daily you need a good cable cutter and walkie really delivers with the
m12 cordless cable cutter capable of cutting 300 millimeter square copper and aluminium cable you
just position the cable squeeze the trigger until that cut cycle is complete and with that auto
release it's capable of cutting a lot of cables back to back and again the design allows you to
fit into a tight overcrowded panel or box now when it comes to setting up distribution overhead
in trays and conduits it's really common to be cutting a lot of threaded rod here the m18
threaded rod cutter is your lifeboat it'll cut m6 to m12 threaded rod quickly and with a
bur-free cut so you can throw the nut straight on and that straight through design makes it ideal
for working overhead but you can also lie down for doing multiple cuts in quick succession the m18
six-ton knockout tool can punch a swarf-free hole in panels and boxes quickly and safely once you've
established a thirteen-mil pilot hole you attach the punch and pull it through the material with
the knockout tool it'll punch a quick and clean bur-free hole in no time at all in both mild
steel and stainless the knockout tool comes in a kit with a range of punches from 16mm up to 63
millimeters there's also larger punches available separately when it comes to chasing cables and
pulling them through walls the new fish sticks and tapes are where it's at with reinforced
connections for strength and glow-in-the-dark for easy location in the cavity or wall these fish
sticks are really smart i really enjoy the fact that you can just put different attachments on
the ends of these hooks lights uh a thing called i call a whisk so we used this the other day and it
uh saved us so much time our job usually when you put a rod in the roof or you're trying to reach
across something it'll get stuck under the middle this one just glides straight over it there's
a couple of different options in flexibility or you can get the whole lot in a combo kit with the
various attachments to suit your application so i've been using the milwaukee fish tapes for a few
months now these are the polyester versions you have a metal tip and then you also have a plastic
part there which is great for getting around bends so you'll get through 16 mil 20 mil 25 quite
easily i'll be using these for many years to come and it's just an overall great product with the
fish tapes there's lots of options from polyester to steel from 240 feet all the way down to 25
feet there's also a powered tape option as well sparkies have a reputation for not cleaning up
after themselves on the job site whether that's fair or not let us know in that comment section
down below but it doesn't have to be the case the m18 wet dry vac is an absolute ripper it's small
it's compact but it still packs plenty of suck so if you've got this vac there's really no excuse
for leaving anything on site but a job well done the m12 soldering iron and the m18 heat gun are
ideal for those mobile connections where you're working away from power you can both solder
and shrink wrap no power no worries speaking of no power nobody wants to get caught working
in the dark so here's three lighting solutions from milwaukee's huge lighting range that are
ideal for sparkies firstly the headlamps got a 90 meter spot and a nice wide floodlight as well
450 lumens of output and you can keep your hands free it's magnetic floodlights awesome as well
300 lumens of the output which is heaps and that nice strong magnet means you can clip it onto
the panel above where you're working or you can use the clip to put it onto your belt or straps
and if you ever need a bit of extra situational light in a hard to reach space the milwaukee pen
light is awesome 43 meters of range 100 lumens of output and a very nice rubberized grip as well
and getting all your gear on and off site is made super easy with milwaukee's ever expanding
pack out range tough mobile and completely customizable to suit your needs you just start
with a rolling toolbox and you build your set from there including low profile organizers there's
even the pack out backpack with loads of storage ideal for those service jobs that require
high mobility but not every tool in the truck and the milwaukee electrician's pouch is
really popular it's got 15 pockets it can be worn on the belt over the shoulder but you
can use it with the built-in handle to place it down next to you while you work and it's
really nicely built too and milwaukee makes an 18 piece bi-metal hole saw kit it contains
hole saws from 16 to 51 millimeters in diameter and they're suitable for almost every material
you're going to run into on the daily i really like the extra holes they put around the sides for
levering out the waste after you've been drilling milky has a range of self-feeding auger bits
that drill super fast through timber frames for chasing don't forget the carbide tip
sds bits for drilling your masonry as well they really do have a really wide range from the
little everyday accessories including non-contact testers right through to the big equipment like
the cable stripper and the crimper orgy's got some great gear for electricians you'll be able
