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 to find more information on each of these pieces
