Overview
The 2471-20 is Milwaukee's M12 cordless lithium ion tool for cutting copper pipe, spinning its cutting wheel at 500 RPM. At just 16 ounces it is light enough to run one handed in tight plumbing runs.
Copper pipe work usually means a ratcheting hand cutter or a heavier powered tool, and this M12 model splits the difference: cordless mobility from Milwaukee's 12 volt battery platform at a fraction of the weight of a full size tool. The listing does not state whether a battery and charger ship with it, so confirm that if you do not already own M12 batteries.
- 500 RPM cutting speed
- 16 ounce weight
- M12 cordless lithium ion platform
Who it's for
Fits plumbers and electricians who already run Milwaukee's M12 platform and want a dedicated copper cutting head. Not the pick for someone starting a battery platform from scratch without checking what ships in the box.
Pros and cons
- Light at 16 ounces for one handed use
- Cordless M12 platform, no cord to manage
- Battery and charger inclusion not confirmed
- Built only for copper pipe cutting
Performance notes
500 RPM drives the cutting wheel through copper tubing without the repetitive squeeze motion a manual ratchet cutter demands, which matters most on jobs with many cuts in a row.
