Tool manufacturer RIDGID announces its first battery-powered solution specifically for electrical contractors: the RE 60 Electrical Tool. It offers a 3-in-1 solution for cutting wires, crimping lugs and punching electrical boxes all with a single tool.
The RE 60 Electrical Tool, featuring the unique RIDGID QuickChange System, incorporates a moveable collar that lets contractors quickly and easily switch between three interchangeable heads with 360° rotation: the SC-60B Scissor Cutter Head; the LR-60B Latching Round Crimp Head and the PH-60B Punching Head.
As a result, there’s no longer a need to carry multiple, dedicated tools to the jobsite or completely switch from one tool to the next, which increases efficiency and maximizes productivity.
“The RE 60 is going to be a real game changer for electrical contractors looking to save time, save money and reduce the total amount of tools they carry around,” said Enver Celik, Product Manager at RIDGID.
Featuring an inline design for easy, one-handed operation, the RE 60 provides a 60 kN hydraulic force output to cut armored cables up to 50mm OD, crimp lugs up to 300 mm² and punch round holes in boxes up to 63,5 mm OD.
It also includes onboard diagnostics, LED indicators and automatic ram retraction to ensure superior performance.
