The Milwaukee 2679-350AL M18™ FORCE LOGIC™ 600 MCM Crimper is built for verifiable, inspection-friendly terminations on large conductors in commercial and industrial work. 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 for instant positioning while Predictive Force Monitoring (PFM™) measures force through the stroke to reach precise pressure on every cycle. A green LED confirms completion so crews can move on with confidence.
The compact inline body and 350° rotating head give better access inside dense switchgear and panels. A fully enclosed high-speed hydraulic pump, POWERSTATE™ brushless motor, and REDLINK™ electronics keep performance consistent from 0°F to 122°F, protecting components under load. With ONE-KEY™, teams can store real-time crimp data, generate reports, and sync to the cloud for QA and closeout documentation. A die case (fits up to 15 sets of U-Style dies) keeps common sizes organized for faster setup between terminations.

Crews that terminate large conductors need accurate pressure, quick alignment, and proof the cycle finished correctly. The 2679-350AL delivers all three: the jaw holds the connector so the conductor seats fully, PFM™ drives to target pressure, and the green LED confirms completion before taping or heat-shrinking. U-Style dies imprint the wire size so inspectors can verify at a glance, reducing punch-list time. With a 350° rotating head, electricians reach awkward lugs inside dense gear, while ONE-KEY captures crimp records many projects now require. Staying on the M18™ platform keeps batteries common across the truck and cycle times short throughout the shift.

Why Professionals Choose the Milwaukee M18 FORCE LOGIC 600 MCM Crimper
Installers choose this 600 MCM crimper for accurate, UL 486A-B classified results and straightforward inspection. U-Style dies imprint the wire size into the lug so QC can verify quickly on feeders and switchgear. PFM™ helps ensure full pressure on every cycle, and the green LED signals success before moving to the next termination. The 350° rotating head and inline body fit tight panels, while ONE-KEY captures crimp data for commissioning packets. For teams standardizing on the M18 cordless platform, it delivers the power, documentation, and access needed for daily terminations.
Milwaukee 2679-350AL M18 FORCE LOGIC 600 MCM Crimper – Tool Only Notes for Buyers (quick tips)
- Match All Three: For cULus/UL results, the die, connector, and conductor must match the chart (size and color).
- Seat & Align: Let the jaw hold the connector, then fully seat the conductor and confirm flat-to-flat die alignment before cycling.
- Sequence Matters: On multi-crimp lugs/splices, follow the manufacturer’s order (often center-out). Mark each impression with a paint pen.
- Verify the LED: Wait for the green LED. If it doesn’t show, release, inspect, and follow your rework procedure—don’t stack a second crimp over an uncertain first.
- Die Management: Keep the case organized (up to 15 die sets). Inspect die seats for debris or burrs; replace worn dies promptly.
- Temperature Practices: Tool is rated 0–122°F—keep batteries warm in cold weather; shade tools in high heat.
- Inspection Cues: Confirm the die index imprint and expected flash; tug test per spec before heat-shrink or tape.
