Meet the MalcoEdge COLT2 18V Cordless Vacuum Pump — a breakthrough in field HVAC service that blends power, portability, and refrigerant versatility for professionals who demand more from their tool kit. Built to handle standard refrigerants and the newer A2L/A3 formulations, this cordless vacuum pump is ready for today’s diverse cooling and refrigeration projects without dragging a power cord into the job.

With a robust 2.0 CFM evacuation flow, the COLT2 accelerates the vacuum process on residential systems and mini splits alike. That means faster vacuums, quicker system startups, and more time to tackle the next job rather than chasing a power source. The cordless design is especially valuable when you’re working in attic crawl spaces, on rooftops, or remote sites where access to outlets is limited or non-existent—you’ll move freely without compromising performance.

Key advantages that matter on the job

• Cordless freedom: 18V portability eliminates extension cords, reducing setup time and trip hazards on busy sites.
• Fast, reliable evacuation: 2.0 CFM of vacuum flow powers through the evacuation phase efficiently, helping you complete more calls in a day.
• Broad refrigerant compatibility: Designed to work with Standard refrigerants plus A2L/A3 blends, expanding your service capabilities for modern systems and future-proofing your toolkit.
• Designed for tough environments: Optimized for hard-to-reach installations—mini splits, rooflines, attics, and remote job sites where power access is a constraint.
• Cleaner field operation: Reduced cord clutter means a neater work area, improved safety, and fewer cords snagging on equipment or fasteners.

Who benefits most from the COLT2

• HVAC technicians who install or service mini splits and residential systems in spaces with limited access to electrical outlets.
• Service teams that prioritize speed without sacrificing reliability, especially on roof tops or in tight crawl spaces.
• Technicians expanding into A2L/A3 refrigerant work who need a single, portable tool adaptable to newer refrigerant requirements.

Real-world use cases

• Evacuating a multi-system mini split on the second floor, where running a heavy cord across a hallway is impractical.
• Servicing a ducted residential system in an attic where access to power is limited—COLT2 stays ready without dragging a generator and extension cords.
• Field techs performing remote site work, needing a dependable vacuum pump that travels light and works with modern refrigerants.

Practical considerations and tips for optimal results

To get the most from the COLT2, pair it with a compatible 18V battery you already rely on for your toolkit. Its cordless design shines when you’re moving between units, surveying multiple jobs in a single day, or when you want to minimize setup time between evacuations. For best results on A2L/A3 systems, ensure you’re following the latest discharge and evacuation guidelines for those refrigerant types, and use the COLT2 as part of a complete on-site evacuation workflow that includes a proper vacuum hold test and system leak checks.

In short, the MalcoEdge COLT2 18V Cordless Vacuum Pump is more than just a pump—it's a portable evacuation solution built for modern HVAC and refrigeration service. It delivers dependable flow, broad refrigerant compatibility, and the mobility you need to work smarter, not harder, on any job—from the attic to the rooftop and everywhere in between.
