Description

If you’re working with pipes, you’ll need to cut them at some point. Whether you’re a plumber, HVAC specialist, boiler worker, or other industrial worker, you’ll benefit from Milwaukee’s 12 Volt lithium ion copper pipe cutter. Rather than hack through your tubing with a handsaw or other crank-operated hand tool, simply pull the trigger on this powerful device and you’ll be able to rip through 3/8" to 1” piping with ease. Don’t worry about adjustments, because the 2471-20 will do it for you. Simply hold it over the pipe, press the trigger, and hold on until the unwanted end of your pipe falls away. Its motor runs at up to 500 RPM, so you know you’ll be able to tear through it with ease. Damp environments won’t weaken the strength of this tool, either. Its insulated design keeps water out of the motor and other moving parts, letting you focus completely on the task at hand without fear of unnecessary wear. While it works best with the 12V Red Lithium line of batteries, this cutter will function with the other 12 Volt lithium ion or NiCad batteries offered from Milwaukee (batteries not included). For industrial applications where time and quality are of the essence, look no further than the Milwaukee 2471-20 to fulfill your needs with ease. From the Manufacturer Milwaukee Electric Tool Corporation introduces the industry's first M12 Copper Tubing Cutter, specifically designed for cutting copper with the speed and versatility that plumbers, mechanical contractors and remodelers require. With a 12-Volt LITHIUM-ION battery and ultra efficient gearing, the 2471-22 performs over 200 cuts on a single charge. A close-Quarter rotating head cuts installed copper tubing with as little as 1-1/2-Inch of clearance. At 500 RPM, the patent pending cutting mechanism cuts copper tubing up to 10X faster than conventional cutters and automatically adjusts diameter to cut through 3/8" – 1" copper tubing (1/2-Inch – 1 1/8" OD, Type K, L and M). The inline design offers greater reach and reduced wrist strain in confined spaces. The metal cutting head is corrosion and rust resistant and is sealed for protection from water. Electronic overload protection and uni-body construction provide exceptional durability. Additional features include a battery fuel gauge, which displays the remaining run-time and a built-in LED work light which illuminates the work surface. Backed by Milwaukee's 5-Year tool warranty.

  • Awesome tool highly recommend
I do HVAC in a lot of boiler systems and zone panels some water heaters this thing turns a 20-minute copper cutting job into about a 5 minute copper cutting job if you cut a lot of copper this is definitely what you want I wish I could afford the bigger one cuz I do a lot of jobs where I need it too can't go wrong with Milwaukee but I will say if you cut a lot of 3/8 refrigeration lines or quarter inch lines this does not cut those sizes ... show more

  • Milwaukee auto cuts are a lifesaver
I have been a plumber for 43 years, I have carpal tunnel and cubicle tunnel from cutting copper by hand for all those years, these are a lifesaver. They’re very fast and do a great job. And I don’t have as much tingling in my hands any longer lol. I have my own plumbing business, going on 25 years. Only issue I find is that overtime the spring pressure weekends and it takes longer to cut. But at the low cost, I just buy a new one and throw the other one away. ... show more

  • great copper pipe cutter
I bought the Milwaukee pipe cutter from Amazon because it was about $5.00 cheaper than other retailers but the real savings was in the free shipping. For those of you who don't like a Milwaukee tool made in China, this tool is not for you. Like my other ancient Milwaukee tools I accumulated over time, this tool has the typical Milwaukee heavy-duty-feel feed-back: it feels solid and sturdy, balanced weight distribution, and industrial performance. The tool quickly cuts my 3/4" copper pipe without fanfare, leaving a smooth cut. I doubt I will ever go back to using a manual cutter. As with almost all Milwaukee tools, this tool is well conceived and executed -- which is why I seldom deviate from the Milwaukee brand. Whether you are doing a small piping job as a DIY or as a tradesman, this Milwaukee pipe cutter will make your job go easier. ... show more

  • Assure you have used this item or understand its purpose before buying
I misunderstood the application of this tool. I thought it was a conduit cutter but it would not emt conduit or half inch copper tubing. It on the truck for now but I think it’s going to get grounded at the shop to save truck space

  • Nice tool, works well.
I'm replacing a lot of my traditional copper piping with Uponor PEX water supply lines. I already have the Milwaukee/Uponor cordless machine that stretches out the end of the PEX so that the Uponor sleeve will tighten around the fitting; and it works great. So I got this. I didn't need any batteries because I have several Milwaukee 12 volt cordless tools that use this battery. This tool is comfortable and easy to use. You just hold it and the jaws/cutters inside do all the work. It makes a nice clean cut and does it quickly. Nice tool, well balanced. Appears quality built. ... show more
