October 7, 2016 – When I published my report on Milwaukee Tool’s 2016 New Product Symposium, I suggested you “keep your eyes open for some more exclusive content in October”. Introducing the M18 Force Logic 9T utility cutter.

A self-latching jaw design enables opening with just one hand, says Milwaukee, enhancing alignment while delivering easy operation with Class 3 gloves. The wire automatically closes the jaw, providing hands-free closure and promising the easiest mid-span cuts.

CHECK OUT the video above, which includes footage from the Milwaukee NPS2016 of this and other new utility tools.

Equipped with an Red Lithium XC 5.0 battery, the 11.75-lb tool promises 200+ cuts per charge. The cutter is compatible with the OneKey digital platform, which allows you to sync the tool wirelessly with your mobile device or desktop.

The package include the tool, side handle, M18 RedLithium XC5.0 extended capacity pack, AC/DC wall and vehicle charger, carabiner, manual and bag.

The tool is expected to launch February 2017. (Gallery photos by A. Capkun)
