Milwaukee 49-16-2661RX 1/4″ – 7/8″ RLS Pivoting Press Ring M18 FORCE LOGIC Press Tools

Built for HVAC/R copper installs and service, the Milwaukee 49-16-2661RX kit provides six RLS®-size pivoting press rings that pair with an M18™ FORCE LOGIC™ Press Tool to make clean, flameless copper press connections from 1/4″ to 7/8″. Each forged-steel ring pivots for better reach around obstructions and aligns quickly thanks to a spring-loaded design. A built-in press blocking system helps prevent ring and ring-jaw mismatches, supporting consistent, code-ready joints on linesets and refrigeration piping. By eliminating sweat and solder, the kit reduces hot-work steps, speeds turnaround, and keeps jobs moving in tight spaces such as ceiling cavities, equipment rooms, and racks. Packed in a hard case with an RLS press gauge, this set is organized for truck-to-roof portability and daily field use.

Engineered for professional productivity, the rings deliver repeatable results with the M18 FORCE LOGIC platform many crews already carry. The pivoting head improves access and sightlines, while forged-steel construction stands up to frequent pressing on change-outs, repairs, and new installs. If you need reliable, flame-free copper connections across common HVAC/R sizes, this M18-specific ring kit is a practical way to standardize your press workflow.
