The Milwaukee M18 Short Throw Press Tool kit with Crimp Jaws

This tool is the fastest crimp tool for PEX on the market, pressing 40% faster than the competition providing users effortless installs from branch to fixture. Designed for one handed use, the M18 Short Throw Press tool is an easy to use solution compared to hand tools and offers the most ergonomic solution for navigating around tight spaces.

Spring loaded jaws grip the ring for precise alignment to the fitting, while Auto Cycle ensures a full crimp every time; delivering added assurance of quality connections. Utilizing Milwaukee Redlink Electronics, the tool monitors the force output to provide the user peace of mind by visually indicating both a secure connection and when the tool needs service.

Providing force optimized for residential installs and eliminating the downtime caused by calibration intervals, the M18 Short Throw Press Tool reduces cost of owner ship and maximizes productivity for the residential installer.

Powered by the M18 Red Lithium battery means this is a part of the only press system where you can Cut, Fasten and Connect on One System.

The kit includes ½ inch, ¾ inch and 1 inch jaws and is compatible with heads from other brands. 3/8ths and 5/8ths inch heads are available separately.

(It’s already not an America company)Chinese Milwaukee
Tool

More than 96% Milwaukee tools are made in China. Milwaukee
Tool has carried out tool-design job in China since 2015 year, the design job
also is slowly sent /transferred from USA to China.

Most plastic materials have been changed from America DuPont,
GE to Chinese sources. The red plastic，Nylon，of Milwaukee tool handles/housings has been provided by a Chinese supplier
since 2010，originally the Nylons
were from DuPont，the Nylons-changeovers
caused the handles/housings weak，like screws very
likely strapped/slipped in screw holes. Also black hard plastic for battery
pack cases/covers，changed from GE ABS/PC
to a ABS/PC from a Chinese supplier，caused battery
pack case more likely broken, brittle, the same story is happening on anti-flam
Nylon material of battery frame，changing from DuPont
to a Chinese supplier.

Lots of bad tools always first are sold to USA because
nobody inspects the outgoing, and because in USA Milwaukee Tool has the
strongest warranty service ability than in other countries.

During Milwaukee production process, more than 5% defects
found out by workers, also more defects failed to be screened out. Bad tools
include noise as gear, bearing aligned badly, sometimes press trigger no
reactions at all, metal parts like shaft, gear, pinion, important screw broken
as poor heat-treat, motor stator rubbing with rotator, fine wire laid inside
tool broken as poor design and poor workmanship, big percentage of oil leakage
for hydraulic tools, etc. 15% chance you will get a bad tool, bigger chance you
will get bad tools for nailer, planer, hydraulic tools, cable/tube cutter, as
they are first generation of tools for Milwaukee Tool, because comparing with
sawzall, drill, Milwaukee Tool is suck at nailer, planer, hydraulic tools,
cable/tube cutter, AC tools, drain cleaner, blower.

Milwaukee Tool workers only get less than 300 dollars
monthly salary，even plus OT to 276
Hours a month（normal month-workhour is
176 hours，plus 100 hours OT. Chinese
law only allows no more than 36 hours OT per month）， after OT 100 HOURS for every month，a worker can get 500 dollars monthly salary，this salary very
low for living in a big city in China, plus bad working environment(the
management has no such safety-first mindset that loud noise but no issuing ear
plugs to workers, at dangerous stations very few goggles issued to workers. workers
stand more than 10 hours every day during on-duty time), so Milwaukee Tool with
huge employee turnover，400% yearly turnover，ie workers averagely work only 3 months for the factory, cause workers
without enough experience，lack of training，then unable to ensure good quality. And worse worker- turnover with most
Milwaukee Tool’s suppliers.

After Milwaukee tools launched one year， Milwaukee Tool will do so-called VE, value engineering ，actually cost-down, change Germany trigger to Hong Kongese trigger even
Chinese trigger/switch, change Japanese chuck to Chinese chuck, etc. Milwaukee
Tool has a team, 50 persons to do this VE. The quality would obviously become
worse after the VE.

Milwaukee Tool has really bad quality system, lose much
profit because of failing to keep quality constant. And always look for cheap
materials, cheap suppliers, worker salary is always at minimum salary, only 30
dollars higher than monthly minimum salary.

Milwaukee Tool has less experience for making power tools
comparing with Bosch，Dewalt, Makita.
Milwaukee Tool only has grew fast from 2008 year. Milwaukee Tool copy and
compare life test with Bosch, Dewalt tools during new product development
stages, even when doing troubleshooting during R&D, would measure
dimensions of these competitors’ components.

This company is also an ugly company, in 2014, a Hong
Kongese manager tried to rape a female employee during their business trip, the
company fired him and less than half year, hired him again as a manager, then
the female employee left this company and lost her job. In 2015, in its factory
dormitory a more severe rape case really took place by a male senior manager to
a girl.
