Milwaukee 2978-20BG M18 FORCE LOGIC 6T Linear Utility Crimper with BG-D3 Jaw
The Milwaukee 2978-20BG M18 FORCE LOGIC 6T Linear Utility Crimper with BG-D3 Jaw is designed for fast, versatile utility crimping in demanding work environments. Its inline design, slim grip and balanced construction support controlled operation, while the 340-degree rotating head provides improved access in tight spaces and different working orientations.
Designed for use with Class 3 rubber-insulated gloves, this crimper features an enlarged trigger and dual electronic release buttons for convenient activation by left- and right-handed users. Predictive Force Monitoring (PFM) measures force output to help deliver accurate crimp pressure, with instant cycle verification through a green LED indicator.
The tool supports eight interchangeable crimping and cutting jaws and is compatible with industry-standard W-Style dies. ONE-KEY technology records and stores crimp data, supports professional report generation, and provides tool tracking and inventory management through cloud synchronisation.
