Making decorations with PVC Pipe I purchased the Milwaukee M12 the day I heard about it. I buy PVC pipe by the pallet (480 - 10' sticks). That pallet is reduced down to 30", 26", 15", & 5" cut pieces for what we need. What would otherwise take weeks to cut, is reduced to a few days. I've had my pipe cutter 10 plus years. The origional battery finally died a couple of years ago. However the secondary extended charge battery is still kicking. I purchased it with a couple of weeks from buying the cutter. The cutter is still performs like day one, best purchase ever. TWO THUMBS UP!
A mini "jaws of life." This is one of the coolest looking tools ever..... Picked one up this week for $129 with battery on a Home Depot 24 hour flash sale...saved $70 bucks.
There is the saw saw too with a good sharp plastic cutting blade. 30 years of do so - no problem with a quick cut., otherwise the shears are good as I see you have for even rounded cuts. Thanks
Start about 8:30 for functions. If I known the index finger feature to press the lock button to release, I would not have purchased this, it's a poor cumbersome design not every person have the dexterity to push with your side of index finger and in downward and inward while using your middle finger to pull the trigger. I find myself having to use two hands trying to operate and release then pull the trigger. Doing this while in various positions on a ladder, tight places, crawl spaces, awkward position and it's real pan in the neck. Milwaukee did a poor design on this and I'm stuck with it for now.
I see you show the capacity and talk about the smoothness of cut, but what about the quality of cut. How perpendicular of a cut is there? I find hand ratchet are off about ¼” at the bottom from where the blade doesn’t stay straight. Did you see this same thing with this tool?
jeffostroff I tried the Ryobi PVC cutter. It was terrible (⅛ - ¼” out of perpendicular). My local tool store let me use their floor model to test. Milwaukee cut about 1/16” out, I can live with that.
@@the_proffit76 The Milwaukee tool is very expensive though, and I have never seen it on sale no store I know carries it and I had to order mine online
jeffostroff Fortunately I have a local tool store that has GREAT selection of all brands. Bare tool was $150. Since I am plumbing my entire house, it was worth the extra $50.
Im disappointed Milwaukee don't make a universal tool with interchangeable heads 😒 would have liked the option to cut 100mm 4" pipe as well. I just use a Sawzall
Good question. Not all of them need big old 12 AH batteries like the miter saws do. This tool has somewhat low power requirements, and will go many cuts before needing a battery change. If this was a cordless circular saw, that would be a different story. Keep in mind too, this is an old tool design, from probably 10 years ago, when 12V was the norm, and they have not updated this, and doubt they would need to.
I like my 20V system, but I wish there was a rotary tool for it. Of course 20V is overkill for a rotary tool, but it’s annoying having 2 different battery packs.
@@MoneyManHolmes That's why I like the newer flex volt batteries from Dewalt. They can be a 60V or a 20 V battery depending on what tool the battery senses it is attached to.
They're now very powerful, super lightweight tools with a pretty good battery life now. Milwaukee definitely has the greatest 12 volt line. Very handy for trim work or some bigger projects. If you're doing heavy construction then 18 volt is where is at but anything less. 12volt is the way to go. Tools are cheaper too
It's such an esoteric and rare tool that no store I have ever been to carries it. It's online only, and they all charge around the same price. I bought my kit over $200 off amazon in July, just as you saw in this video, that's what I bought. Here's 2 links below for it, DON'T buy the tool only version, you'll want that case designed for this tool, and the battery.

I used this tool to cut off a 31 year old PVC drain pipe during my shower replacement. Unfortunately, old PVC pipe gets brittle and this tool caused the pipe to crack and left and irregular edge. I had to use a Hackzall to rescue it. Be careful when using it on older pipe.
I work with 4" sewer pipe all day long, hopefully one day they will have these for 3" & 4". This tool has been great for 2" pumplines though, as long as the blade stays sharp (replaced mine a couple times now).
It's really hot that bulky I can still get in there and cut the drain pipe under the sink if I need to. But if you're trying to cut sprinkler lines you really need to dig a little bit below it to give the claw clearance

I only run into problems on old 1120 pipes, they crack and shatter rather than cut.

It also cuts tree branches like a charm!
I should try that!
Could I cut sched 40 2” PVC 3-4 hours a day with enough batteries ?
if you haven't bought it yet I just got it and work with the same stuff about 5 hours a day so I'll let you know

If you can keep it level it cuts clean and staight.

Great review man... I never knew this existed.
Guess who is going online shopping now?
Yeah man! Har dtool to find, and most places charge full price because it is such an esoteric tool.
Sold.
I just hope I don’t become the guy that gives the morning safety meeting everyday.
Fingers Marbury will lead our safety meeting today!
Does this cutter work well on flexible hose/PVC tubing?
Will this cut schedule 40 and 80 pvc electrical conduit?
Yes it will!
Im disappointed Milwaukee don't make a universal tool with interchangeable heads 😒 would have liked the option to cut 100mm 4" pipe as well. I just use a Sawzall
Man that would require a major set of jaws and power to cut through that much thicker pipe
Would this work as a branch pruner (maple).
Yes, any branches up to 3"
why did you not try sch 80 pvc
Just did not have a piece lying around
Jeff, i see a lot of tool companys going back to 12 volt system. why ?

@@jeffostroff My local home despot carries a few, now they have the Ryobi equivalent as well i believe
@The Oracle I love this tool!
Not sure 2" schedule 40 pvc is it's theoretical max.
I love this tool man! Always straight cuts vs a hacksaw. I’m thinking about buying this or the Ryobi pvc cutter, think you could make a vs video?
I would love to score a Ryoby PVC cutter, I might look into this
I just went out and bought one, Thanks Jeff. What do you use to chamfer the outside of the pipe so it accepts glue evenly?
Home depot sells a small pvc reamer tool good price from ridgid that will transfer the outside of the pipe for you
what's difference Milwaukee 2470-20 & 2470-21 ?
The 2470-20 is probably an older model
I want it so bad!
It is a great tool to have
Good idea but I think they need a newer more compact version it's just too big
I just bought Ryobi's version, we'll see how they stack up

Yes, we saw it crack once years ago too. At least on the new material it works great.
Iv been using one of those for 4+ years so you loose the bet handyman🤣
Love that tool! It's my second one, the first got stolen off my driveway.
You must live in a really nice neighborhood.
Decent middle class neighborhood. I'm probably the poorest on the block!
That's the same torso some ribeyes turning into synagogue I don't know what they were doing well I don't go to those places but really worried
I had ribeyes the other night.
I do because I own one!
Hey Jeff I wish Milwaukee will make one that cuts up to 3 inch PVC
would be awesome. You using hack saw? Would angle grinder work? wonder which blade would do the trick.
I work with 4" sewer pipe all day long, hopefully one day they will have these for 3" & 4". This tool has been great for 2" pumplines though, as long as the blade stays sharp (replaced mine a couple times now).
@@fckjoebdn1776 still waiting. But there's mega press for 3 inch black pipe
I know what they are, but they are about a $200 burger.
not cheap that's for sure, they are a specialty tool
Nice but to bulky
