Milwaukee 6T Pistol Utility Crimper Features

Milwaukee claims that the new Force Logic Pistol Crimper is the lightest 6T pistol crimper available. In fact, it’s roughly half the weight of the DeWalt DCE350M2 and also some Burndy crimpers we’ve seen. It’s over a pound less than the Greenlee EK622PLX11. They’ve repositioned the grip for better balance and included a 340° rotating head that provides you with a neutral wrist position regardless of how you need to hold the crimper.

The Milwaukee 2977-20 includes eight interchangeable jaws that let you tackle a variety of jobs with the same tool. This includes up to 4/0 line taps and up to 750MCM Cu, 1000MCM Al, 477 ACSR, 1/2″ EHS Guy Wire, 3/8″ Rebar, and 3/8″ Ground Rod.

Several integrated features and technology help the new 6T Pistol Utility Crimper ensure accurate crimping. First, it features an adaptive pressure control system that constantly measures force output. It also lets it deliver consistent speed that doesn’t bog down on larger connections. Next, a green LED indicator confirms when correct pressure has been applied. Finally, a pre-crimp battery check takes place to make sure your battery has enough charge to complete each crimp.

Using the M18 CP2.0 battery pack, the 6T Pistol Utility Crimper can manage up to 240 crimps per charge. That’s a great way to save weight and still get tons an entire day’s use from this tool.

Advanced Features

This Milwaukee 6T Force Logic Crimper delivers consistent performance in even challenging temperatures. It can operate between -4°F and 140°F. The electronics have been sealed to keep dirt, dust, and moisture out.

Of course, we can’t forget that the Milwaukee 6T Pistol Utility Crimper also includes One-Key. Once connected, you can sync your tool with your mobile device or laptop. You can then upload data and history to create professional building reports that track the pressure and timing of each crimp. It can even track the location of your tool as well as remind you of regular service intervals.
