Patented QuickChange System™ increases tool versatility on the job
Electrical workers searching for versatility with a multi-functional tool to cut wire, crimp connectors and punch electrical panels now have a practical option with the new Greenlee GRE-6 Interchangeable Head 6-in-1 Cable Termination Tool, powered by a Makita® battery. The GRE-6 is a 6-ton hydraulic tool with six interchangeable tool head options and is backed by the Greenlee Gator® seven-year warranty.
“The GRE-6 is ideally suited for electrical troublemen or maintenance professionals that need a variety of tools with hydraulic power,” said Ryan Berg, Product Manager, Greenlee for Emerson. “GRE-6 provides that versatility by allowing the ability to quickly switch tool heads and reduces time wasted going back and forth to search for multiple tools. It’s one tool that can do the job of three with efficiency and precision.”
