Description
Milwaukee 2470-20 M12™ Cordless Lithium-Ion PVC Shear
3-Second Burrs-Free Cuts. Powerful 2" Plastic Pipe Capacity. Offset Blade Precision.
The Milwaukee M12 Cordless PVC Shear entirely redefines plastic pipe installation efficiency. Driven by a high-torque internal motor paired with an all-metal planetary drive, this subcompact plumbing solution slices through a 2-inch Schedule 40 PVC pipe in just three seconds. It provides service plumbers, HVAC technicians, and commercial irrigation crews with the mechanical speed to execute up to 200 clean cuts on a single battery charge, completely eliminating the hand strain, cracking hazards, and uneven lines associated with manual hand saws and slow mechanical ratchet tools.
Precision mapping and flush-cut access are at the core of the 2470-20's design. It features an ultra-sharp stainless steel blade engineered with a precision pierce point, guaranteeing clean, completely burr-free cuts that are instantly ready for glue primer or press-fit collars without scraping. The tool incorporates an offset blade geometry that allows the operator to slice pre-installed PVC or PEX tubing flush against wood studs, structural walls, or concrete floors where standard cutting loops are blocked. Backed by a quick-blade return system, it resets automatically for rapid, highly repetitive layout work.
Why the Milwaukee M12™ PVC Pipe Shear Dominates the Plumbing Cart:
- Blasing 3-Second Cutting Action: Powers through thick Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 plastic lines with zero manual pumping required.
- Zero Burr Cleanup Requirements: Pierce-point blade slices perfectly flat without creating small chips or plastic shavings that can clog fine valves.
- Offset Jaw Access Profile: Effortlessly trims plastic pipe lines tightly recessed inside pre-framed wall studs or under slab lines.
- All-Metal Planetary Planetary Gears: Heavy-duty internal drive train yields immense pressing pressure to withstand extreme cold-weather job demands.
- Variable Speed Throttle with Reverse: Gives the operator precise stroke control while letting you backup the blade instantly mid-cut if needed.
