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.
AUTOMATIC ADJUSTMENT: Wrap this around type K, L, and M copper pipes and it will adjust from between 3/8″ and 1” automatically
WATER RESISTANT: The head of the unit is sealed tightly to prevent water from leaking in and damaging the motor. Ideal for plumbing applications
HIGH POWERED MOTOR works at up to 500 RPM, letting you work up to 10 times faster than standard hand-operated pipe cutters or saws
LOW CLEARANCE: You can use this with piping that is as little as 1 1/2“ away from a wall without risk of damage to the tool or pipe
RED LITHIUM COMPATIBLE: This tool will function with the batteries in the Milwaukee M12 lineup. These include the 48-59-1201, 48-11-1970, 48-11-2401, 48-11-2430, 48-11-2460, 48-11-2420, 48-11-2402, and 48-11-2440
