Introduce M18 RedLithium Forge Battery

okay guys this is Andrew and the big thing with Milwaukee this year is a new battery platform but it's completely compatible with the M18 platform but how much change in performance are we talking about Andy yeah great question so this year we're launching M18 red lithium Forge and when compared to the most powerful battery on the M18 system today which is our high output 12-0 the 460 actually provides the same amount of power output but is 30 percent smaller and 40 percent lighter so you know think of those situations where maybe you're doing some overhead work maybe it's a rotary hammer right and you want faster speeds to get it done quicker but you also want something that's lighter so it doesn't create so much fatigue but now this doesn't eliminate all of a guy's M18 this just improves performance to any M18 tool that they have and is it true that the tool will now recognize the change in the battery and kick up that performance to match the improved performance of the battery yeah 100 so first thing uh it is fully compatible with the entire system of over 250 tools on M18 and then you're absolutely right so what this means is it's an instant upgrade and performance which translates to like faster application speeds or expanded application range and then the performance jump is going to be dependent on the tool that you use it on right so for something like a search stall you'll notice a bigger jump versus maybe something like an impact driver and you get a set exploded over here so you can kind of over here oh over here okay do it for the battery yeah yeah
