Conduit benderMilwaukee has unveiled another tool designed specifically for electricians-the new M18 FUEL™ Branch Conduit Bender (5150-20), an extremely productive way to bend multi-raceway branch installations.

The new Milwaukee M18 FUEL™ Branch Conduit Bender was designed especially for commercial and industrial electricians using ¾-inch – 1-inch EMT and ½-inch - ¾-inch RMC Conduit. Furthermore, it utilizes advanced AUTO-ZERO™ technology to deliver the most consistent bends, and provides the most straightforward alignment for use anywhere.

“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 with AUTO-ZERO™, we’ve re-imagined the process for multi-raceway installations-delivering a faster, more consistent, and more ergonomic solution.”

The new Milwaukee M18 FUEL™ Branch Conduit Bender’s AUTO-ZERO™ technology enables users to always perceive 0 degrees, thereby delivering the most consistent bends and directly eliminating that extra time trying to make the best bend. The new AUTO-ZERO™ technology senses squeeze and automatically zeroes itself, delivering an unmatched bend consistency over the life of the tool, ultimately reducing rework and increasing productivity.

Better yet, by eliminating the hand-bending strain, “Milwaukee’s new solution also drives 10 times less peak muscle effort required by lower back muscles”- Milwaukee Tool.

Furthermore, the new branch conduit bender provides the easiest and fastest layout alignment without having to move the tool. Additionally, the M18 FUEL™ Branch Conduit Bender features a two-piece design for easier carrying and quicker setup and a POWERSTATE™ brushless motor so users can provide up to 110 bends on ¾-inch EMT when using an M18™ XC5.0 Battery Pack.

The new M18 FUEL™ Branch Conduit Bender 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-inch EMT when using a M18™ XC5.0 Battery Pack.

Moreover, Milwaukee’s M18 FUEL™ Branch Conduit Bender offers compatibility with the entire M18™ line of more than 300 solutions.
