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.

I work in cryogenic and I've run miles of type L and K 1 1/8" copper pipe. I have 2 in my service truck and 1 as a spare. This tool is a time saver, wrist, hand and patience saver. The oldest is 4 years old and as long as you change the blade when needed (for me roughly every 200 cuts) it's a great tool.

Did a ton of plumbing on the new water softener and shut-offs. Boy, I wish I got this sooner. So quick cutting new pipes, but then realized it's quite hand removing old work out too. So far only cutting 1/2" and 3/4" type M and L copper. The reset takes a second to remember and cutting very small pieces is not recommended. Otherwise, this is a dream tool.

This tool is extremely useful when cutting copper pipe in close quarters. But it makes cutting copper pipe under any circumstances just about effortless. In case you're tempted to try cutting metal conduit using this tool, don't bother. I tried and it won't work. But it's designed for copper pipe and works fine for that purpose.

It is a Milwaukee that speaks for itself Gentlemen as an industrial plumber I use this every day believe you me it is a fantastic tool extremely fast cutting increases your productivity. The only problem I have with this tool and I'm an extremely lover of Milwaukee I run the M 12 series is that this tool will leave a small little burr at times depending on how straight you hold it and you have to send it off or will not fit inside the fittings the only thing that I dislike about this tool but the work around to that is and the save you headache is to grab the pipe and the tool and counter rotate as you cut the pipe i.e. rotate the pipe right to left rotate the tool left to right as it cuts and it leaves no burger but sometimes it well so expected. Extremely versatile tool I can cut pipe in the wall as long as there's enough room for the tool to go in if a pipe is 1 inch away from the drywall or wall I can slide that tool in their and cut it imagine getting a small little cutter and trying to twist it with your hand how long it would take it takes me two seconds to cut a pipe once again Milwaukee hits a homerun as expected if your plumber I highly recommend this tool for a couple of dollars for this tool how much is your time worth? If it saves you depending on how many cuts you do in an eight hour day one to two or three hours than it's well worth it if it makes your life easier why not?

Use this at least a couple of times a week on mostly 3/4" copper. Cuts easily, faster and saves our hands from arthritis! like others have said, it does leave a burr on the inside of the pipe, but an easy fix with the right tool. Currently using with the small M12 battery and I am charging after every 4 jobs or so.

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.

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.
