Milwaukee Tool adds to M18 product line

The M18 Switch Tank Interchangeable Sprayer and Water Supply System includes a backpack sprayer.

MILWAUKEE, Wis., – Milwaukee Tool launched the M18 Switch Tank Interchangeable Sprayer and Water Supply System, which includes an interchangeable 4-Gallon backpack sprayer. Core to the new system is the M18 Switch Tank Powered Base, which provides power to the backpack sprayer and has a backpack frame with wide straps for comfort during extended spraying applications. The M18 Switch Tank Interchangeable Sprayer and Water Supply System delivers instant, constant, and adjustable pressure up to 120 PSI and 25 ft spray distance with no manual pumping.  Users can also easily add on or replace any of the compatible tanks.

“hrough its unique interchangeable tank system design, users can add on additional tank assemblies to eliminate cross-chemical contamination. This also gives them the ability to simply replace the tank only versus the entire sprayer or water supply, delivering a lower cost of ownership across the board. Finally, this entire System is powered by M18 REDLITHIUM Batteries and REDLINK Intelligence to provide the performance, run-time, and capability demanded by users without the need to manually pump,” says Andrew Lentz, Group Product Manager for Milwaukee Tool

How It Works

Each Switch Tank solution is made up of two components – the M18 Switch Tank Powered Base and the Water Supply or Sprayer Tank Assembly. The Powered Base includes the motor, REDLITHIUM battery compartment, and REDLINK electronics, while the interchangeable Tank Assembly includes its pump, hose, and respective accessories. The isolated pump and hose design allows users to add on additional Tank Assemblies for different applications, eliminating cross-chemical contamination. 

M18 Switch Tank 4-Gallon Backpack Pesticide Sprayer 

Designed to meet the needs of professional landscape maintenance jobs, the 4-Gallon Backpack Pesticide Sprayer delivers instant, constant and adjustable pressure up to 120 PSI and a 25 ft spray distance. The 5-mode pressure adjustment knob adjusts pressure between 20 – 120 PSI, with a lower flow rate optimized for more control during targeted spot spraying. When equipped with an M18 REDLITHIUM XC3.0 Battery it provides up to 12 tanks of spraying per charge. The tank is built for compatibility with common landscape maintenance chemicals and features a dual diaphragm pump and Viton seals for longer pump life and increased durability. In addition, a wide mouth opening allows for easier pouring and a strainer filters debris from getting into the tank. 

Also compatible is a 4-Gallon Backpack Water Supply and 4-Gallon Backpack Concrete Sprayer.

The new M18 Switch Tank Interchangeable Tank System is fully compatible with the entire M18 line.
