Harnessing the power, performance, and run-time delivered by M18 FUEL™ technology*, Milwaukee® has developed the industry’s first cordless pipe threader. The M18 FUEL™ Pipe Threader w/ ONE-KEY™ revolutionizes the pipe threading process by delivering unprecedented control for the user. With AUTOSTOP™ technology, which senses severe kickback and automatically shuts the tool off, a dedicated support arm to hold the tool stationary during threading, and an integrated die head lock that enables side-grip thread starts, this new tool provides a threading experience that’s unmatched by corded, and eliminates the need for cheater bars, ropes, or pipe wrench supports.
“Since its inception a little over 10 years ago, M18™ cordless technology has continued to push the boundaries of 18V capability, allowing us to develop tools with the performance to replace some of the longest-held corded tools. The introduction of the first cordless pipe threader is a monumental achievement for the M18™ System and a huge step forward in productivity for tradesmen,” said Alex Boll, Senior Product Manager for Milwaukee Tool. “Through our advanced M18 FUEL™ cordless technology, we’re able to deliver a cordless pipe threader that not only surpasses the speed of corded but does so while being lighter than the leading corded solution and offering unmatched control, simplifying the entire experience from start to finish.”
One of the most common frustrations with corded threaders is over-rotation, which can lead to loss of control and potential injury. To prevent this, the M18 FUEL™ Threader w/ ONE-KEY™ features proprietary AUTOSTOP™ Kickback Control technology which kicks in during lock-up situations and automatically shuts down the tool. A dedicated support arm can also be clamped on the pipe to hold the tool stationary while threading. Additionally, an integrated die head retention lock prevents unwanted die head ejection. This feature, combined with an in-line side grip, eliminates the need to contact the spinning die head at the start of a thread.
When equipped with Milwaukee’s M18™ REDLITHIUM™ Battery technology, the tool eliminates the hassle of cords and delivers the power to thread up to 2” black iron pipe, stainless steel, and rigid metal conduit. In conjunction with REDLINK PLUS™ Intelligence and the POWERSTATE™ Brushless Motor, the M18™ REDLITHIUM™ Battery allows users to push the pipe threader hard and work all day – delivering more work-per-charge than any other professional power tool system.
As an added benefit, through ONE-KEY™** this is the first pipe threader that can be wirelessly tracked, managed, and secured.
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. The new M18 FUEL™ Pipe Threader w/ ONE-KEY™ is fully compatible with the entire M18™ line, now offering more than 180 power tool products, and is a true testament to Milwaukee’s focus on investing in game-changing technology that truly delivers breakthrough solutions for users.
