Milwaukee 2679-20 M18 FORCE LOGIC 600 MCM Crimper – Tool Only

The Milwaukee 2679-20 M18™ FORCE LOGIC™ 600 MCM Crimper is designed for precise, verifiable terminations on large conductors in commercial and industrial settings. Using Milwaukee® U-Style dies with bold wire-size and industry color markings, it produces cULus classified crimps per UL 486A-B on #8–600 MCM copper and #8–350 MCM dual-rated connectors from Anderson, Blackburn®, Burndy, Ilsco, Panduit, Penn-Union, and Thomas & Betts. A proprietary jaw alignment system holds the connector to speed setup and help seat the conductor correctly before each cycle.

Predictive Force Monitoring (PFM™) measures force through the stroke to reach precise pressure, protect internal components, and produce uniform results. A green LED provides instant cycle verification. Fully enclosed high-speed hydraulics, a POWERSTATE™ brushless motor, and REDLINK™ electronics support consistent 3-second cycles and reliable operation from 0°F to 122°F. The inline body and 340° rotating head improve access inside crowded gear, while ONE-KEY™ records and stores crimp data for professional reports. The included carrying case holds up to 15 sets of U-Style dies to keep common sizes organized.

Teams that crimp large conductors need consistent pressure, quick alignment, and clear proof a cycle finished correctly. The 2679-20 delivers all three: the jaw holds the connector to reduce fumbling, PFM™ confirms the tool reaches full pressure, and the green LED signals completion before taping or heat-shrinking. With U-Style dies that imprint wire size, inspectors can verify work at a glance. The inline design and 340° head help electricians reach lugs inside dense gear, while ONE-KEY creates a crimp record that many projects now require for closeout. Crews on the M18™ platform can share batteries across the tool fleet and keep cycle times short throughout the shift.

Why Professionals Choose the Milwaukee M18 FORCE LOGIC 600 MCM Crimper

Commercial electricians choose this 600 MCM crimper for accurate, UL 486A-B classified results with fast setup and simple verification. The U-Style die system leaves a clear wire-size imprint on the lug, making inspection straightforward on switchgear and service feeders. PFM™ helps ensure each cycle reaches full pressure, and the green LED confirms completion before the next termination. The inline, cordless crimper with a 340° rotating head reaches tight panels where larger C-head tools are awkward. With ONE-KEY data logging and an M18 cordless platform, crews get the traceability, portability, and speed needed to finish work on schedule.

Milwaukee 2679-20 M18 FORCE LOGIC 600 MCM Crimper – Tool Only Notes for Buyers (quick tips)

• Match the System: Use Milwaukee U-Style dies that exactly match the connector maker’s chart (size and color). For cULus/UL results, the die, connector, and conductor must match.
• Alignment Matters: Let the jaw hold the connector, then fully seat the conductor and verify flat-to-flat die alignment before cycling.
• Crimp Sequence: On multi-crimp connectors, follow the manufacturer’s order (often center-out). Mark each impression with a paint pen.
• Cycle Verification: Wait for the green LED. If it doesn’t appear, use the release, inspect, and follow your rework procedure—don’t stack a second crimp over an uncertain first.
• Battery Practices: Run the tool’s pre-crimp check; swap packs proactively on long runs. Keep batteries warm near 0°F and shaded in high heat.
• Inspection Cues: Confirm the die index imprint and expected flash; perform a tug test per spec before heat-shrink or tape.
• Die Management: Keep the carrying case organized (up to 15 die sets). Inspect die seats for debris or burrs; replace worn dies promptly.
• Care & Cleaning: Wipe the head/ram after dusty work; avoid heavy oils that collect grit; store with the latch closed and no die installed.
