Milwaukee M12 12-Volt Cordless PVC Shear (2470-20) (Power Tool Only - Battery, Charger and Accessories Sold Separately)

Pros: Cuts clean, square and bur free. It does its job and it does it well. Speed, speed, speed. Spend time doing the actual job and not cutting and cleaning pipes. Major productivity booster. Cons : Its heavier than it seems. Cutting head is large because it's meant to cut up to 2 inch diameter so it's not ideal for tight quarters cutting. It's more for fresh assembly. Balance is acceptable for a Right handed person but it could be better. Balance is a little off for left handers but it is still functional. The safety switch is also better placed for right handers than left. Not a truly ambidextrous tool but definitely useable. Still gets a 5 star for innovation and saving medical costs for surgery after manually doing thousands of cuts with ratchet cutter. Milwaukee will get the 2nd gen on point for sure.

I’ve been using this Pipe cutter for the last two weeks. I’ve been using it on 2 inch PVC schedule 40 pipe. Also, I’ve been installing 2 inch CPVC pipe which has the thickness of schedule 80. This is awesome. It works perfect for all Pipe.

very good tool

I work for plumbing company there for pvc is what I use all day every day, and as I was looking for this tool, I read all the comments and reviews about this tool, and I decided to try it out!!! You got to be kidding me!!!!! As soon as I got that tool in my hand the job performance and speed increased by at least by 50% no kidding, all them reviews are useless if you don't know what you doing and It was hard to determine if them customers have any idea what pvc is LOL but I can tell you for sure if it's not a manufacturing defect that you get with the tool sometimes then you just don't know what you doing if it's not working out for you LOL. This is like buying a car after you drove a bicycle for so many years. This tool perform an excellent job, its battery last all day for 2days like you can't beat that, cuts 2" like butter and fast too, after using saw saw for 18years, this tool gave me more abilities to get my job done fast and keep it clean 100%, I noticed that it cuts all plastic pipes, but for those that claim it's not strong enough or fast enough, maybe it's time for you to find out that some batteries have more power than the others, lol , and that could be the case for your failure with this tool, even Dewalt has a limitation on batteries when it comes to using tools ( side drills takes bigger batteries then other tools like impact and power drills.

Okay, so...I've been doing a crap ton of renovations lately that have necessitated extensive plumbing work. I saw a plumber using this last year and thought...meh..."got my trusty set of ratcheting cutters". Looked at it a few times while purchasing other Milwaukee tools at the orange themed store, but couldn't justify the price. My normally trustworthy "helper" ( read - college kid/summer help) kept giving me horridly angled cuts on short runs of PVC on a job a few months ago... Could you use the M12 hackzall? Sure. Could you use a small chop/miter saw? Sure. Could you use...ad infinitum... Do you need it? Depends. Does it work (up to 2" PVC)? Heck yes! Clean/even/no-de-burring the cuts? Yes! Somewhat idiot proof? (It's a sharp blade slicing down that can't engage without safeties pressed) Yes...depending on the level of idiocy. Will it save your forearms (and keep tendonitis in the wrists at bay)? More than likely. This tool is in a tight, three-way Milwaukee race with the auto copper tubing cutter and the installation driver as my new favorite tool (haha...like my children, I love all my tools "equally", just some better than others on certain days/jobs!) Worried about price? Borrow one from a friend for a job. If you already have some M12 batteries, you'll add this to your tool arsenal quickly!

This Milwaukee M12 PVC shear is a beast. I’ve used it for several plumbing jobs, and it slices through 2” PVC like butter—clean, fast, and with zero effort. It’s compact enough to get into tight spaces and saves your hands from the fatigue of manual cutters or cleaning up from the sawzall. Blade swaps are easy, and the build quality is what you’d expect from Milwaukee—solid, rugged, and built to last. If you work with PVC regularly, this tool is a no-brainer. It paid for itself in time saved within the first few uses.

As a pool contractor for over 40 years, this is great for new construction or renovations. I don't why I didn't get this long ago! Works best on new pipe. Existing pipe it might not cut clean. Great for PVC conduit. Awesome tool. I bought the bare tool and purchased a generic charger with 2 batteries and a replacement blade. Works great. Milwaukee has a cheap tool bag that it fits into.

Payed for themselves in the first 3 days of owning them while working in an rv park in Florida cutting 2” sch 80. No hand cramps and blade is still sharp after owning them for almost a year and using them almost every day

Très bon service de livraison et très bon produit je le conseille fortement.

good

Cuando vi este cortador de PVC en YouTube, estaba muy emocionado de recibir este producto, mi primera impresión no fue nada buena, estuve tentado de devolverlo inmediatamente, pensé que había gastado mucho dinero y no cumplía con las expectativas. (No tenía suficiente potencia, agrietaba el PVC... CONSEJO: TENGA PACIENCIA, debe haber un período de rodaje de aproximadamente 3 usos, ya sea por los engranajes internos o la cuchilla o ambos, pero mi cortador ahora ha cortado con precisión, de forma continua, y ha hecho que mis trabajos sean increíblemente eficientes... no podría haber sentido un cambio de 180 grados sobre un producto en tan poco tiempo, herramienta increíble, si eres un profesional, ¡necesitas esta herramienta!

This thing is great. Works perfectly, somewhat awkward to get going with the safety switches, but makes the job way easy. Worth every penny!

Muy buen producto rápido y plactico
