Milwaukee® M12 FUEL™ 5-3/8” Cir- cular Saw is First of Its Kind


tor works harder, lives longer, and converts energy into power more effi ciently, giving the M12 FUEL™ 5-3/8” Circular Saw the ability to deliver the power and speed needed to minimize bogging down during applications, while completing cuts other 12V saws cannot. The motor is also com- pletely designed, engineered and built by Milwaukee Tool to deliver years of main- tenance-free performance with no wearable components, no losses due to vibration and less heat build-up.


MILWAUKEE, WI – Milwaukee Tool con- tinues to expand its award-winning M12 FUEL™ offering with the introduction of the industry’s most powerful 12V Circular Saw. With the ability to cut 2x dimensional lumber, Milwaukee has combined their exclusive POWERSTATE™ brushless motor, REDLITHIUM™ battery pack, and REDLINK PLUS™ Intelligence to deliver a 12V Circular Saw that rivals 18V tools on the market today. “In the past, 12V users would need to


carry 18V or corded circular saws to com- plete cuts in the most frequently used jobsite materials,” said Tom Simeone, Director of Product Management for Milwaukee Tool. “Able to complete 170 cuts in 2x4, the M12 FUEL™ 5-3/8” Circular Saw provides performance and run time that is comparable to a much larger tool, at a fraction of the size and weight.”


The new circular saw was engineered to deliver powerful cutting capacity and is capable of cutting most frequently used jobsite materials, from sheet goods to 2x dimensional lumber. M12 FUEL™ products feature three Milwaukee®-exclusive inno- vations, the POWERSTATE™ Brushless Motor, REDLITHIUM™ XC4.0 Battery Pack and REDLINK PLUS™ Intelligence Hardware and Software, to deliver un- matched power, run-time and durability. The POWERSTATE™ Brushless Mo-


REDLINK PLUS™ Intelligence hard- ware and software is the most advanced electronic system on the market. It integrates full-circle communication between tool, battery and charger to protect them from overloading, overheating, and over-dis- charging. These protections help maintain ideal conditions for maximum application performance.


Milwaukee REDLITHIUM™ XC4.0 batteries provide up to 2X more run-time and recharges than standard lithium-ion batteries and will provide more work per charge, and more work over the life of the pack than competitive batteries. With Mil- waukee® durability built into each pack, the REDLITHIUM™ XC4.0 battery operates cooler and performs in climates below 0°F/- 18°C with fade free power. A battery fuel gauge also displays remaining charge for less down time on the job.


The M12 FUEL™ 5-3/8” Circular Saw also lives up to Milwaukee’s legendary du- rability with a cast aluminum construction and all-aluminum shoe and guards. Available in February of 2015, the new M12 FUEL™ 5-3/8” Circular Saw is a true testament to Milwaukee’s focus on the user and investment in game-changing technolo- gy.

Milwaukee Tool continues to deliver productivity-enhancing solutions to the professional tradesman with the introduc- tion of a charging station that has the ability to charge 6 packs 4X faster than previous offerings. The M18™ & M12™ Rapid Charge Station (48-59-1807) can charge 3 batteries simultaneously, each individual pack charging up to 40% faster. “With the rapid expansion of the M18™ and M12™ systems, there is a growing demand to not only charge both platforms, but do so faster and more productively,” said Christian Coulis, Director of Product Management for Milwaukee Tool. “Wheth- er the Rapid Charge Station is used by a single person or large crew, they can have confi dence it will turn packs around at an accelerated pace – minimizing downtime and increasing productivity on the jobsite.” As pack capacities continue to increase and more users migrate from corded to high powered cordless tools, the M18™ & M12™ Rapid Charge Station is built to sup- ply ample power to even the most demand- ing worksite. With a growing customer base using both M18™ and M12™ tools, the new unit has the capacity to hold up to (3) M18™ batteries and (3) M12™ batteries. This allows multiple users to charge off the one station, freeing up remaining outlets, and will reduce the amount of time spent changing out batteries, increasing produc- tivity on the jobsite.

Featuring REDLINK™ Intelligence hardware and software, the station is equipped with the most advanced elec- tronic system on the market. REDLINK™ monitors the health of the battery packs, protecting against over charge and over discharge. Each pack has a unique charging profi le, fully optimizing its’ speed and life. As an added level of communication, the charger indicates an 80% state of charge by a slow, green fl ashing light. Rather than waiting until the pack is fully charged, this allows the user to pull a battery off of the charger sooner and have the confi dence that they can still complete a signifi cant amount of work. Available in February 2015, the station also features integrated pencil guides for easy wall mounting without the need for measurements. A built-in pass through plug assures the station doesn’t tie up outlets on the jobsite. When compared to previous units that charged (1) M18™ REDLITHI- UM™ XC Battery in 60 minutes, the new charger has the power to charge (3) M18™ REDLITHIUM™ XC Batteries in 37 min- utes or (6) M18 XC batteries in 74 minutes. With the introduction of the new M18™ and M12™ Rapid Charge Station and an unrelenting commitment to grow the M18™ and M12™ cordless platform, Milwaukee® continues to expand its leadership position

Bosch Expands 12V Max Line With Company’s First Handheld Vacuum


MT. PROSPECT, IL – Saw shavings, dirt and dust don’t stand a chance now that the Bosch VAC120, the brand’s fi rst 12V Max handheld vacuum is offi cially on the market. Featuring an exclusive Micro Filter System, based on advanced automotive technology, to trap 98 percent of dust particles as small as 1/2 micron in diameter, the new Bosch VAC120 12V Max vacuum is designed to make jobsite cleanup faster and more effi cient. “We’re excited to expand our 12V Max line up with our fi rst-ever handheld vacuum,” said Craig Wilson, Bosch product manager. “Its compact, lightweight design allows for high portability and comfortable use, which ensures that nothing gets left be- hind on the job besides a good impression.” Weighing just 1.55 pounds and measur-


ing 11 inches long, the VAC120’s crevice nozzle attachment makes clean-up in tight or confi ned spaces, such as around elec- trical outlets or drains, a breeze. The fl at fi lter design allows for a larger 11.8 ounce canister volume, which means less frequent clean-outs and more time working. According to Wilson, the Bosch


VAC120 serves a variety of functions, in- cluding: Post construction clean- up around electrical and drywall cutouts; Installation or punch-list work clean up, such as around doors, windows, cabinets, fl ooring and air ducts; and Post service-call clean up, such as plumbing, electrical, HVAC, or appliance and entertainment system maintenance (for dust only, not water).


Compatible with the Bosch L-Boxx tool storage system, the VAC120 will be avail- able as a bare tool (without battery or char- ger) in October 2014 at authorized dealers in North America and retails for a suggested retail price of $69 USD ($89 CA). A 12V Max battery and charger -only starter kit SKC120-102, is also available.
