V28 Lithium-ion Cordless Tool System

The Milwaukee Electric Tool Company’s V28 cordless system lasts up to twice as long between charges and has the power of corded tools. The V28 line includes the world’s first cordless band saw powerful enough for professional use, a hammer-drill, circular saw, Sawzall® reciprocating saw, impact wrench, work light and battery charger.

The unit has an on-board fuel gauge, with 3.0Ah 28V output. The hammer-drill puts out 600 inch-pounds of torque; the circular saw cuts at 4,200rpm, which is much closer to corded saw speeds than the 3,200rpm found on NiCd models. The V28 charger is a true one-hour charger.

The composition of the V28 battery contains no cadmium, making it more eco-friendly than other high powered, rechargeable batteries currently used in power tools and, therefore, does not have to be recycled in many states.

The V28’s performance optimizing circuit monitors battery temperature, output and tool demand and makes adjustments so users can get full battery capacity even in very cold temperatures down to -4°F.
