With an MX Fuel XC6.0 battery, this pump delivers up to 20 minutes of continuous runtime on high and can relocate up to 2,000 gallons per charge. This pump also has auto-sense technology that adjusts the output to match incoming flow, and will automatically shut off when water levels are low to avoid burning up the motor.

The major new development is the dual trigger system. A second trigger is on the permanently fixed side handle, ensuring the operator always has two hands on the tool while working. It’s similar to the concept we saw from the M18 Fuel Dual Trigger Band Saw. When you want to ensure your crew is working in the safest way possible, the two hands required design ensures they aren’t taking shortcuts.
