Description

The M12 Cordless Lithium-Ion Copper Tubing Cutter Kit cuts up to 10X faster than conventional cutters and gives you up to 200 cuts on a single charge thanks to ultra-efficient gearing. As the industry’s first cordless lithium-ion powered copper pipe cutter, MILWAUKEE engineered it with plumbers, mechanical contractors and remodelers in mind. The copper tubing cutter runs at 500 RPM for unmatched cutting speed and the patent-pending cutting mechanism automatically adjusts the diameter to cut Type K, L and M copper pipes from 3/8” to 1” (OD from ½” to 1-1/8”). This close quarters copper tubing cutter has a unique rotating cutting head that allows you to cut installed copper piping with as little as 1-1/2” clearance. The lightweight, handled pipe cutter inline design provides you with a longer reach, reducing wrist strain when working in confined spaces and has a built-in LED light that illuminates the cutting surface. The metal cutting head is corrosion and rust resistant, and sealed for water protection, while electronic overload protection and unibody construction provide additional durability. An onboard, real-time battery fuel gauge helps you monitor the charge precisely, so there’s less downtime on the job. In addition to the copper tubing cutter, this kit includes an M12 Lithium-Ion battery charger, an M12 REDLITHIUM CP1.5 battery pack and a carrying case. 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-inches of clearance. At 500 RPM, the patent pending cutting mechanism cuts copper tubing up to 10-times faster than conventional cutters and automatically adjusts diameter to cut through 3/8-inch-1-inch copper tubing (1/2-inch-1 1/8-inch 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 and 2-year battery warranty, the 2471-21 comes with one 12-volt LITHIUM-ION battery, one 30-minute charger, and a carrying case.

Game changer, when cutting lots of pipes or in close spaces
Now, let's talk about a real game-changer, folks – the Tubing Cutter. This little tool is a wrist-saver and a champ in those hard-to-reach spots. I'll tell you straight up, I grabbed a second battery for it, but it's a workhorse that goes all day without slowing down. I've put it through its paces, easily making well over 500 cuts in copper ranging from 1/2 to 1 inch, and it's still running smooth as butter. Just be aware, it leaves a bit of a burr, so consider picking up a power chamfer head to save your wrists. This cutter is the industry's first cordless lithium-ion copper tubing cutter and from my expertise the best currently on the market, and it's a speed demon, easy to run controls you can till that it was Engineered with end users in mind. Now, what sets this apart is its ability to automatically adjust to cut type standard copper pipes from 3/8" to 1" in diameter with swapping the head, even in tight spaces with as little clearance. The built-in LED light illuminates the cutting surface, very nice in a crawl space. ... show more

Increase Production 10x
I love the product so far and am looking into the 1”-2” product as well. This thing is a game changer for commercial plumbers who do a lot of copper water lines. I think for residential service plumbers it can come in handy but may not got 200$ of use as fast as a commercial guy. As far as cutting pipe 3/4” and 1” are 0 problem. 1/2” can be a little bit tricky. It will do it but there is a certain finesse required with the tool. Like all tools you’ve never used before it takes some getting used to. Don’t be discouraged on day one if it’s not working like you want it to. I promise it’s because you’re not working like it wants you to. 5 stars from me guys. ... show more

It Works Great!
This tool is a life saver. Ingenious in operation and easy to use. Cuts copper 1/2" - 1" like butter and saves a ton of time. Highly recommend for professional or DIY. I purchased for DIY boiler replacement job installing combi unit which required relocation of supply and return plumbing a distance from the original boiler location. So there was a lot of copper to fit. You won't be disappointment. ... show more

A Game-Changing Tool for Plumbers
I absolutely love this product! It has made a significant difference in my work as a commercial plumber, especially for copper water lines. While residential service plumbers may find it handy, it may not see as much use compared to commercial use. Cutting 3/4” and 1” pipes is a breeze, though 1/2” can be a bit tricky at times. Highly recommend it for anyone in the plumbing business! ... show more

It does actually do the job!
I’m shifting toward Milwaukee…..amazing tool, it allowed me to do 3 days work in 1! Would highly recommend but I’m concerned about maintenance of the tool! Like a jackhammer it’s lubricated so long term it’s a concern! I still give it 5 stars because it would pay for itself on one job! I’m optimistic so I’ll do a follow up ... show more

A plumbers sidekick!
This Tubing Cutter is a beast. It's Fast, Durable, and Precise. It powers through over 500 copper cuts (1/2" to 1") without breaking stride. Add a power chamfer head to handle burrs effortlessly. This is Milwaukee's first cordless copper tubing cutter, and it’s built for pros. With automatic adjustments for easy functionality, to handle pipes from (3/8" to 1") with ease, especially in cramped spots. The LED light ensures you’re ready for low-light jobs like crawl spaces, this tool delivers power, speed, and reliability—built to perform at a valued price. ... show more

Used a few times and then stopped
I actually really liked this tube cutter until it stopped working after a few uses. We switched from boiler heat to forced air, so I had a lot of pipes to cut out. Tough to get into tight spaces and I don’t think it likes water at all. Which is ridiculous considering you’ll probably get it a little wet. Going to try and get it serviced at a dealer. ... show more
