Optimized hydraulics offer 20% faster advance and 30% faster retraction speeds than previous generation tools. Patent pending Auto-Retract feature provides a userselectable ON/OFF switch to enable or disable automatic cycle retraction. Auto- Retract can also be stopped mid-cycle to speed repeat operation. Pull-pin design provides quick change-over between cutting and compression jaws. Head rotates 180° for optimum maneuverability in tight work spaces. Works with Makita LXT 18V Lithium-Ion Batteries.
