Milwaukee M18 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless FORCE LOGIC 600 MCM Crimper Kit with #8 350 MCM Al Dies 350 MCM Al

The Milwaukee M18 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless FORCE LOGIC 600 MCM Crimper Kit with 750 MCM Expanded Jaw is a very expensive tool, but if you do a lot of jobs that require crimping of pipes, cables, etc., this will make your job easier. I like Milwaukee tools and have not been disappointed in the quality and durability of the power tools I’ve gotten so far.

In my 25+ years in the electrical trade I have used numerous crimp tools for all sizes of wire, from the manual handle type, to the manual hydraulic pump, to the battery powered hydraulic ones. And I have made hundreds of crimp connections, from cell site rack power and grounding halos, to main service section connections. This crimper compares very favorably, and is quicker, more powerful, and more versatile than any other I have used. The kit comes with most of the dies you will ever need, from #8 – 750 MCM, and the larger jaw for the big wire. Changing the jaw out only takes a minute or 2, and changing die sets is very easy, only a matter of seconds. This makes very fast crimps, the fastest I have used. Very powerful. It is a heavy, solidly built tool intended to handle the big wire, but it will also handle the small stuff. I like how the jaw easily opens and goes around the crimp/C-tap/butt splice/lug by squeezing the back part with one hand. No hinged piece that has to be swung and latched each time. There is a manual release if you need to stop mid-crimp for some reason. This even works with “C” or “6” style crimps, you just need to find the included die set that fits right. This will also accept the wire cutting jaw for up to 750 MCM. The “One Key” feature lets you track and disable the tool if it is stolen, and does some other things that I won’t take time for here. It is not a cheap tool, but for lineman or commercial/industrial electricians that constantly make crimps on large wire, this is an excellent option.

I have been using crimping tools for 35 years on the job. I started with a ground down punch and a hammer. I have used mechanical crimpers that would remind you of a set of bolt cutters all the way up to air over hydraulic units. I have tested and used all the battery powered units out there also and was quite content with them till someone handed me the Milwaukee force logic 600 to try. Now I dare them to try to take it from me. First off it is not a cheap tool but is well worth it’s cost because it does the job right and is very easy to use. The dies are simple to change and Milwaukee does a great job with the marking and color coding of them to make it easy to choose the right die. I have only about 75 crimps on my tool but it is so easy it is fool proof, check the wire size, select the crimp and die install it in the tool slide in the crimp which the tool holds the crimp in place slide it on the wire and squeeze the button and your done. Put on your favorite heat shrink and make the connections. It’s that easy! The tool is light enough to make connections overhead all day long on or off of a ladder or scaffolding. I managed approximately 50 connections with one battery charge. A quick change of the head and the tool becomes a shear that makes a very precise cut in the thickest of cable. Very versitile and easy to use tool The ” one key” function on the tool is easy to use also, download the app and it records all the important information regarding your tool and also tracks it’s where about to follow it around in cyber space. It even gives you a spot to sign it out to everyone who will want to use it after they see how easy it is to do a great job. I can’t wait to take it to the next big job!

This is simply the best commercial crimper I’ve ever used for up to 600 and 750 (comes with larged jaw) MCM wire. It is actually very well balanced with the smaller sized batteries M18 batteries it comes with, which are probably going to last you through the day. At any rate, they charge quickly, and I’ve completely gone over to Milwaukee cordless, so have no shortage of battery options.Some things I like about this kit:- it actually comes with a full range of dies (Aluminum; Copper sold separately)- it is so easy to change jaws and dies. Takes seconds.- it’s quick. Only takes a few seconds, perfect crimp every time.- the case keeps everything better organized than a bag, and like all Milwaukee hard cases takes a beating.- the markings on the dies and their slots in the case are easy to read (and it comes with additional die markers and some additional slots for dies you buy separately)- has a nice quick reference chart at the top side of the case.- the grip on the tool is great.- there’s a release button on the side of the tool if you need to manually release the jaws for some reason.One thing I wished it came with for the price was the cutting jaws attachment, though there is a slot for it in the case.And that’s what this tool ultimately gets down to is price. It is not inexpensive and you may need to add some dies and an additional attachment to complete the kit. But it is fairly complete as is, and typical of Milwaukee, is an excellent quality all around.If you can justify the upfront investment in this crimper and kit, I believe it will prove to be a solid one. It’s such a great design and amazingly compact and lightweight given the amount of force it can generate and the sizes it covers. And very energy efficient. I can easily recommend it.

I was awaiting the opportunity to test this guy out. I ordered it online, and it arrived in perfect shape. I have a standard pump action crimper already. I’ve used it in the past, and almost used it again on this latest job. This job was to crimp some ends on a pull cable. Since this job needed only 4 crimps, I pulled out my old crimper first. It was tight quarters, and I thought I’d finally give this tool a try. Wow. This tool is truly amazing. The operation is virtually one handed. The jaws open with just finger tip effort. As easy as pinching two of your fingers together. Let go and it clamps over the piece to be crimped. Hold it steady, and squeeze the trigger. It whirls audibly very briefly, and leaves behind an incredible crimp. I really wanted to keep going with it, but I only needed to do 4 on this job. It’s a pleasure to use. My old crimper is destined for dust collection for sure. This tool is incredible! Yes, it’s pricey. but boy, you will really appreciate how it functions almost effortlessly. The crimped part drops out of the smooth dies, very easily. Truly a smart, design, and screams quality. Its also much lighter than I thought it would be. Easy to hold in one hand. This tools case is nicely laid out, and included stickers for the different dies, and secure recesses in the case to hold them. They really put effort into this, and it shows. I am very impressed, and recommend this tool enthusiastically.

I’m very impressed with the Milwaukee M18 2679-750A Force Logic electricians crimper kit for it’s great Milwaukee quality and it’s unique features. It came with two batteries, 16 dies, charger and case and two jaws for accommodating small to large crimping jobs. The grip is comfortable and the die/head holds the coupling or connector while you are inserting the wire–allowing a nice crimp just using our two hands. I definitely recommend it for the commercial electrician or craftsman needing to make crimps on their electrical install.

Wow, this is the most amazing crimper in the world. I never knew such a crimper existed. It has everything you need, and it includes not one, but 2 batteries. I like that it is easily interchangeable with the 600 MCM crimping jaw and the 750 MCM crimping ja and 750 MCM cutting jaw. see that the proprietary jaw holds connector for instant alignment and so, so much more. I read all about this spectacular tool and can’t wait to try it. Thank you so much.

This is an awesome battery-powered crimping set. It comes in a sturdy case with lots of crimper dies and crimper heads for two ranges of wire sizes. Please be aware that the dies included in the set are for aluminum wire. If you crimp copper you will have to buy additional dies. It comes wit the labels for copper dies.Usage is very easy. Spread the jaws and pull back the pin to insert each side of the die. Spread the jaws again and place over the crimp. Squeeze the trigger and it automatically goes through the crimp and shuts off, releasing the jaws. A red or green LED indicates success or failure. It even stamps the die size in the crimp to confirm you used the correct crimper die.The tool is not light nor is the case with all the dies. It comes with two batteries so you can crimp all day!

Since my first purchase of a Milwaukee tool, a rotary sander, I’ve been a fan of their products. This Crimper Kit is a fairly new offering by Milwaukee and is offered in a 750A and 750C version. You can find details of each on the Milwaukeetool web site. Both are for professional electricians. The version I’m reviewing in the 750A. The kit is extensive and includes the parts you’ve already read in the description. My comments are though Milwaukee tools are a bit expensive they are worth the money.
