Milwaukee® Enhances Safety, Puts Distance Between Linemen and Live Wires

Driving innovation while improving safety for underground cable professionals, Milwaukee Tool introduces the new M18™ FORCE LOGIC™ 125mm Underground Cable Cutter with Wireless Remote, the smartest way to cut. Integrated with cutting-edge Bluetooth® Technology, this solution eliminates the need for direct tool handling, significantly enhancing job site safety. Featuring an ergonomic design with advanced electronics, Milwaukee’s new Underground Cable Cutter sets a standard for intelligent cutting solutions.

Simplifying the set-up and application process, the M18™ FORCE LOGIC™ 125mm Underground Cable Cutter with Wireless Remote features an enhanced ergonomic design for improved balance and maximum control. Designed with a guillotine jaw style, this cable cutter allows Linemen to cut up to 125mm diameter communications, armoured, lead sheath, copper, and aluminium power cables wirelessly. The adaptable forward handle rotates and pivots independently of the head to provide users maximum control, while its balanced design and hang hook enable the easiest setups in vaults. Featuring a head that rotates 180 degrees, the quick-release and turn-to-close style latch pin is easily opened or secured with just one touch. For added confidence, an integrated Last Cut application shut-off ensures a battery will never die in the middle of a remote cut and leave the application incomplete. Whether cutting locally or with a wireless remote, Milwaukee delivers an optimised cutting experience.

Potentially live cables create additional hazards on the job site. Increasing the distance between cable professionals and potential live wires serves as an effective strategy to mitigate these risks and build reassurance of a safe working environment. Utilising cutting-edge Bluetooth® Technology, the M18™ FORCELOGIC™ 125mm Underground Cable Cutter with Wireless Remote provides cut confirmation confidence for advanced user safety. The wireless remote operates via an exclusive connection, eliminating the possibility of interference from other smart devices. Following setup, Linemen can activate the remote cutter and remove themselves from the hazardous area. Once the tool has completed the cut, a green LED on the wireless remote gives a positive indication to provide users confidence in the cut’s completion. By providing the ability to remotely cut and separate the user from the tool, Milwaukee's Underground Cable Cutter eliminates the hazard of cutting potentially live cables for professionals on the job, driving safety and productivity.

Integrated with Milwaukee’s advanced ONE KEY™ technology, the M18™ FORCE LOGIC™ 125mm Underground Cable Cutter with Wireless Remote allows users to sync their tool with their phone wirelessly. Tracking capabilities create custom reports for Linemen as they upload their tool’s history and data while integrated location services and tool security technology allow users to stay up to date on their tools’ usage and inventory.

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.
