What Does Greenlee Have to Say About the GRE-6?

The GRE-6 is ideally suited for electrical troublemen or maintenance professionals that need a variety of tools with hydraulic power. [The] 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. Itโ€™s one tool that can do the job of three with efficiency and precision.

Ryan Berg,ย Product Manager, Greenlee for Emerson

From what we can already seeโ€”weโ€™d have to agree. Three tools in one can save a lot of time and money. This goes triple when these types of cordless tools typically carry a very high dollar cost. Putting them together makes a lot of sense.
