MILWAUKEE® Expansion Tools Lineup Expands Again

In partnership with Uponor^™, Milwaukee^® delivers another breakthrough in productivity for q&e installs. This latest addition to their expansion tool lineup is the fastest, lightest, and most compact way to install 50 mm q&e fittings.

A pipe size selector switch optimises the expansion speed when expanding different sizes of Q&E pipes for up to 3X faster 40 & 50 mm connections and the tool’s D-handle design provides both balance and control for one-handed operation. The expander features an auto-rotating mechanism for fast, consistent expansions and comes equipped with the new, dedicated 40 mm 10 bar and 50 mm 6&10 bar Q&E Expander Heads designed exclusively for the M18 FUEL^™ Expander. The integrated cone design of the two new heads delivers the lightest, most compact experience on 40 mm 10 bar and 50 mm 6&10 bar by reducing the travel length of the tool’s expansion cone, allowing for the most compact expansion cycle. Jobsite durability is provided by the tool’s all-metal gears and an integrated metal frame. The M18 FUEL^™ Q&E Expander is equipped with ONE-KEY^™,** allowing users to wirelessly connect their expander with their smartphone to track and manage the tool through the ONE-KEY^™ app.

Like other M18 FUEL^™ solutions*, the M18 FUEL^™ Q&E Expander features MILWAUKEE^®’s POWERSTATE^™ brushless motor, allowing the tool to quickly create connections yet run cool. The new expander achieves 20% more power and 2X more recharges than a standard lithium-ion battery when paired with the REDLITHIUM^™ 5.0 Ah battery. REDLINK PLUS^™ intelligence protects the tool from overload, overheating, and over-discharge while ensuring optimised performance of the tool.

Milwaukee Tool is committed to improving productivity by providing performance-driven and trade-focused solutions so users can perform an entire day’s work on one battery system. The M18 FUEL^™ Q&E Expander is fully compatible with the entire M18^™ line, now offering more than 215 power tool solutions. 

*M18 FUEL^™ is engineered for the most demanding tradesmen in the world. Delivering outstanding performance, all M18 FUEL^™ products feature three MILWAUKEE^®-exclusive innovations—The POWERSTATE^™ brushless motor, REDLITHIUM^™ battery pack and REDLINK PLUS^™ intelligence hardware and software—that deliver outstanding power, run time and durability on the jobsite. Simply put, M18 FUEL^™ tools are the most powerful 18V cordless tools in their class.

**ONE-KEY^™ is the first digital platform for tools and equipment. By integrating industry-leading tool electronics with a custom-built cloud-based program, ONE-KEY^™ provides a new level of control and access to information that revolutionises the way work gets done. The ability to customise, track, and manage through ONE-KEY^™ fundamentally changes the way users interact with their tools.
