Milwaukee has added a 10kg demolition hammer to MX FUEL, the battery platform it built for equipment rather than hand tools. The claim it leads on is a runtime one: paired with the MX FUEL FORGE XC 8.0 pack, the company says the hammer chips 1.3 tonnes of concrete per charge — which it translates as a trench 19.2 metres long and 10cm deep, or 33 minutes of continuous trigger time.

Those three figures describe the same charge measured three ways, and the last is the one to hold on to. Thirty-three minutes of trigger time is a long stretch of breaking-out for one battery, but it is trigger time, not site time; a working hour on a demolition hammer contains a good deal of repositioning.

The hammer is built around Milwaukee's POWERSTATE brushless motor, which the company rates at 26 joules of impact energy, with REDLINK PLUS electronics handling overload protection. It is aimed at walls and floors: two speed modes, chisel adjustment for changing the bit's working angle, an anti-vibration system, a top handle and an LED work light.

It also carries two of Milwaukee's system features. VACLINK wireless dust control starts a compatible extractor from the tool, and ONE-KEY handles tracking and inventory through the company's app — the pair that make a case for buying into the platform rather than the individual tool.

Availability

The release gives no price and no on-sale date. It was issued by Milwaukee's European arm on 1 August and quotes metric figures throughout, so it addresses European markets; there is no word on North America.

Where it sits

MX FUEL is deliberately separate from M18: it is Milwaukee's answer to petrol-driven and corded light equipment, and its packs do not fit the tool line. The pitch here is the one that platform has always made — no cords, no generator, no petrol maintenance — with the runtime figure doing the work of persuading a contractor that the trade-off has stopped costing them a shift. Demolition hammers are not a category in our catalogue, and this tool is not in it.

Every performance figure above is Milwaukee's own and we have not tested any of them.
