Strictly speaking, there are no separate security standards, everything is within the framework of common sense. But Milwaukee tools (like leading manufacturer) is scrutinized often and meticulously. Not only enthusiasts, but also competitors, so the assessment is deserved and fair.
Protection systems for Milwaukee tools
If we do not take into account injuries from cutting and rotating parts, then burns from an overheated body will be in the first place. The second place is occupied by electric shock.
Believe it or not, everything Milwaukee does is not on the list of such injuries. The reason for this level of safety is the presence of its own research base, combined with a design bureau. Before entering production, all products undergo rigorous testing in such conditions in which they do not even have to work. A serious approach has led to serious achievements:
- POWERSTATE ™ brushless motor and variants last 10 times longer without requiring maintenance;
- Power reserve and REDLINKPLUS ™ technology guarantee precise interaction between the battery group and the motor, eliminating short circuits and overheating;
- Ergonomic handles covered with non-slip, dielectric material, which is also non-flammable;
- The weight of the tools (1.3 to 2.8 kg) allows safe one-handed operation;
- The battery does not jump out of the mount and is not damaged when dropped from a height of up to two meters.
As the saying goes, do your best if you can. Unfortunately, so far few people have been able to, and not in this price segment (Milwaukee cordless tools are inexpensive), but in the professional, premium segment. Figuratively speaking, the Milwaukee-based company put its competitors on the shoulder, but did not rest on it.
Inexpensive Milwaukee grinders more powerful than network counterparts
While competitors were “selling the idea” to buyers that they could not get more power from batteries than from the network, in Wisconsin they were engaged in innovations and new technologies. The first step was the launch of a line of 18 volt instruments, which even then (in the early nineties) showed comparable results. This was roughly 75% of the power of networked tools. At the same time, the level of vibration and noise was already significantly lower, and the boundaries of conditions at the workplace became much wider.
Milwaukee brought the level of protection of the electrical part to perfection, in 2002 Milwaukee grinder capable of working at 98% humidity. Of course, there was no question of immersion in water, the development was aimed at the needs of workers at sites where construction cannot be stopped. Ta�
