Milwaukee: The Future of Auto Mechanic Tools

June 12, 2019 12:00 AM

Milwaukee is truly doing some amazing things in the world of auto mechanic tools—including going digital. Most of you have been around long enough to have been forced to work with pneumatic tools in your shops, and probably still are. Milwaukee Tool is ditching the cumbersome air hoses and replacing them with their innovative cordless M12 & M18 technology. And in strict Milwaukee fashion they have not overlooked even the smallest details with groundbreaking advancements. Check out what they’ve got going on in the automotive department from the NPS 2019 event.

First up is the M18 FUEL ½” Extended Anvil High Torque Impact Wrench w/ One-Key. This bad boy delivers the fastening control and breakaway power that professional tire technicians demand. Users can perform faster tire service without the hassle of pneumatic hoses, compressors, or torque sticks. This tool offers multiple fastening torque control modes designed for sedans, light trucks and box trucks. With up to 1,100 ft-lbs. of nut-busting torque, this tool provides more than enough power to breakaway any rusted lug nuts.

Next, the M12 FUEL Extended Reach Ratchets are the latest addition to Milwaukee’s best-in-class lineup of ratchets. The slim profile and extended neck provide users with the ability to reach tight spaces while retaining all the torque and superior durability users like you have come to expect.

The M12 FUEL Right Angle Die Grinder is the first cordless right angle die grinder ever, but it also exceeds the size and performance professional mechanics need. With more power than a standard .25 HP pneumatic die grinder, and best-in-class size, get rid of the annoying hoses and optimize your work while you take the excess strain off your body. Milwaukee knows you work hard, so they’ve built tools with your long-term health and longevity in mind.

Milwaukee’s ½” Ratchet & Socket sets have been designed from the ground up to offer users the most versatile sockets that are anti-roll and wench-ready. They come with a removable inner tray which is perfect for long-term storage. All these solutions are just another way Milwaukee is moving forward with bettering the lives of their users and allowing unlimited options for heavier duty applications.

BONUS: M12 Digital Torque Wrench 3/8″ & 1/2″ with ONE-KEY. Milwaukee has completely outdone themselves with the first ever torque wrench with a motor. “What?!” is exactly right. Now you can set your target torque value, pull the trigger, the tool will automatically stop prior to your torque value, and simply torque the wrench one turn to get the exact value you are trying to apply. A green light will indicate when you’ve reached the exact value—wow this thing is cool. And to top all of that you can link this tool to your phone, upload your data, and pass that information along to any inspectors or vehicle owners.

All of these will be available from your friends at Ohio Power Tool by December of 2019. Purchase, pre-order, and check out the M12 Digital Torque Wrenches here.
