Milwaukee Introduces the New 60 kN Compact Knockout Punch.

THE NEW M18™ FORCE LOGIC™ HYDRAULIC KNOCKOUT PUNCH DELIVERS UNPRECEDED ACCESS AND MANEUVERABILITY FOR ELECTRICIANS. COMBINED WITH MILWAUKEE®’S PUNCHES AND DIES, WILL REDIFINE PRODUCTIVITY FOR THE USER BY REDUCING THE TEDIOUS STEPS OF HOLE-MAKING AND IMPROVING THE SPEED OF THE PROCESS.

“It became increasingly important to provide an optimised compact solution for the breadth of applications that service and MRO professionals deal with which require maneuverability,” said Jochen Herterrich, Sr. product manager for Milwaukee Tool. “The 60 kN Knockout Punch, which is 40% lighter, will provide these users with a reliable tool that they can easily navigate within these tight spaces and deliver the capacity to punch up to Ø100 mm holes into 3.0 mm mild steel and 2.5 mm stainless steel.”

Traditionally, the most challenging step in the hole making process is setting up the punches and dies on the material as alignment lines on competitive units are very hard to see and the weight of the tool that is attached to them works against the user as they try to align.

Featuring the clearest alignment in mild and stainless steel, Milwaukee®’s punches and dies feature vivid red cross hairs and a clear view of the work surface to make alignment fast and easy. Once aligned, the Quick Connect Alignment System delivers easy set-up without the weight of the tool, and speeds up repetitive punching. Once set up, users just snap the tool onto the punch and die assembly, and pull the trigger to punch the hole.

In addition, Milwaukee® is the only manufacturer whose standard punch and die sets cover both mild and stainless applications up to 100 mm. This provides unparalleled value as the competition sells stainless steel sets separately at a premium that can cost up to three times more than sets for mild steel. The punches and dies are also designed for optimal slug removal and compatible with competitive knockout tools.

Powered by Milwaukee® REDLITHIUM-ION™ batteries, the new M18™ FORCE LOGIC™ Hydraulic Knockout Punch is part of the fastest growing cordless system in the industry, now offering more than 80 cordless 18V Lithium-Ion products. The new Punch is powerful enough to punch up to Ø100 mm holes into 3.0 mm mild steel or 2.5 mm stainless steel. Its compact, right angle design delivers the best clearance in tight spaces. It is also compatible will other major brands of punches and dies.
