Milwaukee 2878-22 M18 FORCE LOGIC 12T Latched Linear Crimper Kit

Milwaukee 2878-22 M18 FORCE LOGIC 12T Latched Linear Crimper Kit

The Milwaukee 2878-22 M18 FORCE LOGIC 12T Latched Linear Crimper is designed for professional electrical and utility applications that demand reliable, high-force cable connections. Its fully enclosed high-speed hydraulic system, POWERSTATE brushless motor, REDLINK electronics, and REDLITHIUM battery platform deliver fast crimping performance in demanding jobsite conditions.

The inline design supports one-handed operation in multiple orientations, while the 340° rotating head provides access in confined spaces. A quick-release, push-to-close latch pin simplifies positioning around cable splices. Predictive Force Monitoring (PFM) measures output force to help ensure full pressure is reached during each crimp cycle.

Compatible with industry-standard U-dies, the crimper supports a cable size range from 8 AWG to 750 MCM. When used with the corresponding Milwaukee EXACT 12T U-dies, it creates UL Classified crimps under UL 486A-B for specified copper and dual-rated connectors. Integrated ONE-KEY technology records and stores crimp data for professional reporting.
