MILWAUKEE, WI – Milwaukee Tool furthers their commitment to Electrical professionals with the introduction of their new M18 FUEL™ Branch Conduit Bender, the most productive way to bend multi-raceway branch installations . Optimized for commercial and industrial electricians using ¾” – 1” EMT and ½” - ¾” RMC Conduit, this solution leverages new AUTO-ZERO™ technology to deliver the most consistent bends. Providing the easiest alignment and the ability for users to work anywhere, Milwaukee’s new conduit bender showcases their dedication to driving productivity through disruptive innovation for the electrical trades . “Through working closely with professionals in the field, the pain points and inconsistencies in the current bending processes became clear,” explains Jack Fisher, Product Marketing Manager at Milwaukee Tool. “Reworking bends to achieve consistency and battling muscle fatigue were constant frustrations. With the new M18 FUEL™ Branch Conduit Bender w/ AUTO-ZERO™, we’ve reimagined the process for multi-raceway installations—delivering a faster, more consistent, and more ergonomic solution.”

The Milwaukee M18 FUEL™ Branch Conduit Bender’s new AUTO-ZERO™ technology provides the ability to always sense 0°, delivering the most consistent bends onsite. Time spent zeroing conduit benders onsite adds unnecessary time and inconsistency to the bending process—a frustration that AUTO-ZERO™ directly eliminates . Embedded within the tool, new AUTO-ZERO™ technology senses squeeze, automatically zeroing itself regardless of variances in the roller, shoe, and conduit. With this capability, users are delivered unmatched bend to bend consistency over the life of the tool, reducing the need for rework and increasing productivity. B y eliminating the physical strain of hand-bending, Milwaukee’s new solution also drives 10X less peak muscle effort required by lower back muscles.

Delivering the easiest alignment, the new branch conduit bender provides easier and faster layout and planar alignment, enabling users to quickly align layout and bend planes without moving around the tool. Driving the fastest bends from start to finish, the M18 FUEL™ Branch Conduit Bender minimizes the amount of necessary rework in conduit bending and streamlines workflow, delivering up to 2X faster application speeds. The new M18 FUEL™ Branch Conduit Bender’s features a two-piece tool design delivering easy carry and fast setup for operation at all points of installation, enabling electricians to work anywhere. Even in remote areas, with an integrated POWERSTATE™ brushless motor, users can bend up to 110 bends on 3/4” EMT when using a M18™ XC5.0 Battery Pack.

In addition to the conduit bender, Milwaukee is also launching a line of conduit bending shoes designed to bend ½", ¾", 1” EMT or 1/2 & 3/4" RMC. The kitted bending shoes will bend up to 1"EMT and 3/4” RMC . Exclusively designed to fit only the M18 FUEL Branch Conduit Bender w/ AUTO-ZERO™, these aluminum bending shoes provide tool-free installation.

Milwaukee 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™ Branch Conduit Bender is fully compatible with the entire M18™ line, now offering more than 300 solutions.
