Power Tool News: Models added to Test and Measurement Line Up
The News
As noted Milwaukee added 14 new models to their test and measurement line up. Milwaukee is not changing their form or function, but what is different is the calibration specs. These tools now provide users with a National Institute of Standards and Technology certificate of calibration or NIST. The older models do not have this certification, which while they are great tools, there were certain jobs you could not use these tools on. With the new NIST, a user can meet certain specification for different organizations such as ISO.
The new NIST versions include a NIST certificate of calibration with data that lists the accuracy of each measurement function, the date when it was calibrated and when the next calibration should take place. This is what was missing from the earlier models, which we are glad to see Milwaukee has included because this allows many companies to hold reputable standards. In the long run this provides better accuracy which means you can improve safety.
Milwaukee first introduced their measurement and testing tools in 2009 and since then Milwaukee has been moving forward with these tools and this is a huge step. In the past a user or company would have to get these certificates in the aftermarket, but not now which saves time and money in the long run.
