The M18™ FORCE LOGIC™ 12T Latched Linear Crimper is built for utility professionals who require speed, control, and reliability in overhead, underground, and substation applications. Its inline design and 340-degree rotating head allow for one-handed operation in tight spaces, while the quick-release and push-to-close latch pin simplifies access around splices. The enlarged trigger and electronic release button are optimized for Class 3 glove use, supporting both left- and right-handed users. Compatible with all industry-standard U-dies, the tool creates UL Classified crimps on #8 to 750 MCM copper and dual-rated lugs and splices when used with Milwaukee® EXACT™ 12T U-Dies.

Equipped with a fully enclosed hydraulic system, POWERSTATE™ brushless motor, REDLINK™ electronics, and REDLITHIUM™ batteries, the crimper delivers consistent performance in temperatures ranging from -4°F to 140°F. Predictive Force Monitoring (PFM™) ensures full pressure is reached during each cycle, with instant verification via a green LED. A pre-crimp battery check confirms sufficient charge before operation, and ONE KEY™ integration allows users to store crimp data and generate reports for asset management and compliance. This tool is designed to meet the demands of high-volume crimping in challenging field conditions.
