For the commercial ventilation installer working on a ceiling at a difficult angle, it matters that the 1/4″ hex impact driver or 3/8″ impact wrench in their hand is the most compact 12V tool in its class. In fact, it matters a lot. The Bosch PS42 delivers a maximum torque rating of 975 In.-Lbs. and weighs just under two pounds (w/2.0 Ah battery) while the PS82 offers a torque rating of 85 Ft./Lbs. at 2.2 pounds. (Due to higher capacities, Bosch measures impact wrenches in Ft.-Lbs.)

Building off the success of their recently launched Copper Tubing Cutters line, Milwaukee Tool introduces the addition of Close Quarters Tubing Cutters in 1/2″, 3/4″, and 1” sizes. The most compact cutters of their kind, they provide the smallest swing radius for access into spaces too tight for other cutters, and offer the longest life in the industry.
“When we launched our lineup of copper tubing cutters earlier this year, we focused on delivering solutions that have the very best durability and cut performance in the industry,” said Derek Rose, Product Manager for Milwaukee Tool. “Now we’re enhancing this line further by giving our users another option when they need to make cuts in the tightest spaces. So, whether they prefer the adjustability of our original Mini and Constant Swing Copper Tubing Cutters, or the even more compact nature of our new Close Quarters Tubing Cutters, we have a range of solutions that can accommodate the most common sizes of tubing our users encounter.”
Available in 3 dedicated sizes, the Cutters are able to cut through Type M, L, and K copper tubing. Designed with direction indicators so users can easily see which way to turn the Cutter, they also feature a directional grip to assist users during cuts when the area of work is difficult to see directly.
In addition, the Cutters feature chrome rollers for best-in-class rust protection when exposed to water. Weep holes on the top and bottom of each Cutter’s housing also allow water to drain from the tool.
For easier transport to and from the jobsite, the 3PC set comes in a hard carry case. This case has additional storage for replacement wheels and a reaming pen – allowing users to keep necessary accessories in one place without sacrificing productivity to search for the right tool.
With the introduction of the Close Quarters Tubing Cutters, Milwaukee Tool demonstrates its commitment to delivering hand tool solutions that increase productivity and are built to withstand even the toughest jobsites. With a base of tools already used by plumbers and HVAC professionals, and the launch of several game-changing solutions in 2016, Milwaukee will continue to build upon this commitment by providing a complete plumbing lineup to solve key user frustrations. This will also include additional expansions to their Copper Tubing Cutters line.

Milwaukee Tool, the industry leader in impact accessories, continues to deliver game-changing solutions for the professional with the next expansion to their SHOCKWAVE™ line of accessories. Engineered and tested to be the most durable, best fitting impact bits on the market, the new Double-Ended Power Bits enable the use of two unique tips from one bit for increased productivity, and an optimized Shockzone™ geometry which provides up to 30X longer life versus other power bits.
Made of Custom Alloy76™ Steel and heat treated for maximized wear and shock resistance, the new Double-Ended Power Bits feature a unique Shockzone™ geometry to absorb peak torque and prevent breakage. In addition, each Precise-Fit Custom Machined Tip™ prevents stripping and reduces wobble for the best fit in the industry. The new 2-3/8” Double-Ended Power Bits include a variety of bit tip configurations, including: PH2/SQ2, PH2/T25, PH2/SL-1/4, and T20/T25. Both ends of the bit lock securely in impact drivers and quick-change chucks.
The new SHOCKWAVE™ expansion also includes enhanced Socket Adapters and Magnetic Bit Holders. Redesigned from the ground up, the new Socket Adapters and Magnetic Bit Holders now feature an optimized Shockzone™ for up to 30X longer life and both are made from proprietary steel and heat treated to control hardness. The SHOCKWAVE™ Magnetic Bit Holders feature a powerful magnet allowing for a secure hold of fasteners and a c-ring to hold the insert bit.
