Frequently asked questions
Common questions about MILWAUKEE from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between Milwaukee M12™ and M18™ cordless tool platforms?
M12™ tools operate on 12 V DC batteries, while M18™ tools use 18 V DC batteries. The higher voltage of M18™ generally supports tools with greater power demands, such as heavy-duty impact wrenches, grease guns, and hydraulic pumps. M12™ tools are typically more compact and lighter, suited for tasks in tight spaces or where reduced weight is important. Batteries are not interchangeable between platforms; each requires its own charger and battery series. Both platforms include a range of drills, impact drivers, ratchets, and specialty tools. When selecting, consider the torque, speed, and runtime required for the application, as well as the existing battery inventory.
What are the specifications of the Milwaukee cordless hydraulic pump unit (MPN 3120-21)?
The Milwaukee cordless hydraulic pump unit (MPN 3120-21) delivers a maximum operating pressure of 10,000 psi and a maximum flow rate of 18 cu in/min. It is powered by a 3/4 hp motor and operates on a single phase. The pump is a 2-way design, suitable for use with hydraulic cylinders and tools requiring controlled extend and retract. It has an intermittent duty cycle, meaning it is designed for periodic operation rather than continuous running. The unit includes a shoulder strap for portability. This pump is part of the M18™ system, so it uses 18 V DC batteries. For specific compatibility with hydraulic attachments, consult the manufacturer's technical documentation.
What is the torque and speed of the Milwaukee cordless ratchet kit?
The Milwaukee cordless ratchet kit (SKU 3G-OTH-303908) delivers a maximum fastening torque of 35 ft-lb and a no-load speed of 450 RPM. It features a brushless motor and a ball detent anvil with a 3/8 in drive size. The ratchet can be used manually without engaging the motor, which is useful for breaking loose or final tightening of fasteners. It has a variable-speed metal trigger for control and is designed for access in tight spaces. The tool operates on 12 V DC (M12™ platform). This ratchet is commonly used in automotive and industrial maintenance for fastening and loosening bolts and nuts.
What are the specifications of the Milwaukee N95 respirator with exhalation valve (MPN 48-73-4004)?
The Milwaukee N95 respirator (MPN 48-73-4004) is a disposable particulate respirator with an exhalation valve, rated N95 by NIOSH for protection against non-oil-based particulates. It is white, medium-sized, and supplied in a 10-pack. Features include a dual adjustable headstrap, a molded nose bridge, and a comfort face seal. The exhalation valve reduces heat and moisture buildup inside the mask. This respirator is intended for industrial, construction, and maintenance environments where respiratory protection is required. It is not a replacement for a full-face respirator in all situations; always follow site-specific safety protocols and fit-testing requirements.
What is the capacity and ice retention of the Milwaukee chest cooler (MPN 48-22-8462)?
The Milwaukee chest cooler (MPN 48-22-8462) has a 40 qt capacity and can hold up to 60 cans. It provides up to 30 hours of ice retention. The cooler includes a drain plug for easy cleaning and does not have wheels. It is red in color. This cooler is part of Milwaukee's jobsite storage and accessory range, intended for keeping food and beverages cold on job sites or during transport. It is not a powered device and requires ice or other cooling media. For specific dimensions and weight, refer to the manufacturer's product data.
What are the features of the Milwaukee general-purpose carbide reciprocating saw blade (MPN 48-00-5371)?
The Milwaukee general-purpose carbide reciprocating saw blade (MPN 48-00-5371) has 6 teeth per inch and a 6-inch blade length. It is designed for cutting wood, metal, and plastic. The blade has a rigid design for straight cuts and a straight back style. Cut width is 0.05 in. It is supplied in a pack of three blades. This blade is suitable for demolition, plumbing, and construction applications where a single blade must handle mixed materials. Carbide teeth provide durability when cutting abrasive materials. Always match the blade to the material and use appropriate speed and feed for optimal life.
