- Does it work with PEX-B or crimp fittings?
- No. It is built for PEX-A expansion fittings only. PEX-B and crimp or clamp systems need a different tool.
- What comes in the kit?
- The kit includes the expansion tool, two 18V batteries, a charger and a set of expansion heads. Check the head sizes against the tubing you use.
- How long does a battery last?
- Owners report a battery lasting through a full day of typical expansion work. Heavy production use may need both batteries.
- Is it worth it over a manual expander?
- For regular PEX-A plumbing, yes: it is faster and far less tiring. For occasional repairs, a manual tool does the same job for much less.
- Can I use my other M18 batteries?
- Yes. It runs on Milwaukee's standard 18V M18 batteries, so it shares packs with your other Milwaukee tools.
- How heavy is it?
- It is noticeably heavier than a hand expander, and owners say the weight shows in overhead work. Support the tool with both hands where you can.
