Description
Milwaukee 2870-22 M18 FUEL™ Compact Pipe Threader w/ ONE-KEY™ w/ 1/2" - 1-1/4" Compact NPT Forged Aluminum Die Heads
40% Lighter Weight. AUTOSTOP™ Anti-Kickback Protection. Military-Grade Aluminum Dies.
The Milwaukee M18 FUEL Compact Pipe Threader Kit delivers the industry’s most controlled, productive, and unrestricted portable threading experience. Driven by an advanced POWERSTATE™ Brushless Motor, this cordless machine effortlessly threads up to 1-1/4 inch black iron pipe, stainless steel, rigid metal conduit (RMC), and galvanized tracks. Optimized specifically for service repair workflows and overhead retrofits, this industrial powerhouse is up to 40% lighter than other handheld threading options, allowing plumbers, mechanical contractors, and gas fitters to cut crisp threads directly on pre-installed lines without dragging out a heavy, stationary pipe stand.
Operator safety and structural control define the engineering behind the 2870-22. The threader features proprietary AUTOSTOP™ Technology, an advanced internal sensor that instantly cuts off motor power during a severe bite or kickback event to shield your wrists from sudden rotational twisting. It incorporates a secure Die Head Retention Lock that physically prevents accidental die ejection under extreme load, while a dedicated inline side grip allows you to stabilize and start threads safely without touching a spinning head. Kitted with military-grade forged aluminum compact die heads, it minimizes your carrying weight while delivering long-term resistance to professional field wear. Integrated ONE-KEY™ Bluetooth tracking completes the build, letting you monitor tool placement and lock it remotely from your smartphone.

- ONE-KEY™ Bluetooth Tool Security: Free digital asset tracking network lets you track tool trailer placement, check inventory histories, and implement remote security lockouts.
