This kit delivers 500 RPM cutting speed and handles Type K, L, and M copper pipes from 3\/8\" to 1\" inner diameter (1\/2\" to 1-1\/8\" outer diameter) with a patent-pending automatic diameter adjustment mechanism. Built for plumbers, mechanical contractors, and remodelers working in tight spaces, the tool features a rotating cutting head that requires as little as 1-1\/2\" clearance to cut installed pipe. The complete kit includes the 2471 tool, one M12 REDLITHIUM battery, a 30-minute charger, and a carrying case, delivering up to 200 cuts per charge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Features \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e500 RPM Motor:\u003c\/b\u003e Powerful motor delivers up to 10 times faster cutting speed compared to conventional manual tubing cutters, reducing time spent on repetitive pipe cutting tasks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAutomatic Diameter Adjustment:\u003c\/b\u003e Patent-pending cutting mechanism automatically adjusts to cut 3\/8\" to 1\" ID copper tubing (1\/2\" to 1-1\/8\" OD) across Type K, L, and M pipe without manual resizing between cuts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRotating Cutting Head:\u003c\/b\u003e Unique rotating head cuts installed copper piping in tight spaces with as little as 1-1\/2\" clearance, solving access problems where traditional cutters cannot rotate fully around the pipe.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eM12 REDLITHIUM Battery Technology:\u003c\/b\u003e Superior pack construction and electronics deliver up to 200 cuts on a single charge with an onboard real-time fuel gauge to monitor battery status and reduce downtime.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWater-Resistant Sealed Head:\u003c\/b\u003e Metal cutting head features corrosion and rust-resistant construction with sealed design for water protection, extending tool life in wet plumbing environments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eElectronic Overload Protection:\u003c\/b\u003e Built-in overload protection and unibody construction prevent motor damage and ensure long-term durability on demanding jobsites.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBuilt-In LED Work Light:\u003c\/b\u003e Integrated LED light illuminates the cutting surface in dark or confined spaces, improving cut accuracy and reducing errors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInline Lightweight Design:\u003c\/b\u003e 14-inch inline tool design provides extended reach into tight mechanical rooms and reduces wrist strain during extended use compared to bulkier cutting tools.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCompatibility \u0026amp; Requirements\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis cutter works with Type K, L, and M copper tubing from 3\/8\" to 1\" inner diameter (1\/2\" to 1-1\/8\" outer diameter). The tool requires a Milwaukee M12 lithium-ion battery (one included in kit) and uses a replaceable copper cutting wheel blade. The 30-minute charger included in the kit charges any M12 battery in the Milwaukee system. The cutting mechanism is designed specifically for copper pipe and should not be used on other materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInstallation \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cutting wheel is a replaceable wear item (Milwaukee part 48-38-0010 sold separately as a 2-pack). To operate, insert the pipe into the cutting head, press the trigger in short pulses until the mechanism grabs the pipe, then fully engage the trigger to complete the cut. The trigger also functions as a reset to open the head. Keep the sealed cutting head free of debris and avoid forcing the tool on kinked or damaged pipe to extend blade life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMilwaukee 2471 Cordless Copper Tubing Cutter Tool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne M12 REDLITHIUM Lithium-Ion Battery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM12 30-Minute Battery Charger\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarrying Case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQ: What size copper pipe can the Milwaukee M12 2471-21 cut?\u003c\/b\u003eA: The Milwaukee M12 2471-21 cuts copper tubing from 3\/8\" to 1\" inner diameter, which corresponds to 1\/2\" to 1-1\/8\" outer diameter. The patent-pending cutting mechanism automatically adjusts to the pipe size without manual adjustment, and it works with Type K, L, and M copper pipe. The tool cannot cut copper tubing smaller than 1\/2\" OD (such as 3\/8\" OD refrigeration lines used in HVAC applications).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQ: How do I replace the cutting wheel on the Milwaukee M12 copper cutter?\u003c\/b\u003eA: Replacement cutting wheels for the Milwaukee M12 2471 are sold as Milwaukee part number 48-38-0010, which includes two copper cutting wheels per package. The cutting wheel is a replaceable wear component, and keeping a spare set on hand reduces downtime when the blade dulls. Refer to the replacement parts list included with the tool for complete blade replacement instructions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQ: How many cuts can I get on a single M12 battery charge?\u003c\/b\u003eA: The Milwaukee 2471-21 delivers up to 200 cuts on a single charge when using the included M12 REDLITHIUM battery. The onboard real-time battery fuel gauge displays remaining charge so you can monitor battery status and plan recharge timing, reducing unexpected downtime on the job. The included 30-minute charger quickly recharges the battery between uses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQ: Will this work with copper tubing that's already installed in tight spaces?\u003c\/b\u003eA: Yes, the Milwaukee M12 copper cutter is specifically designed for installed pipe in confined spaces. The unique rotating cutting head requires as little as 1-1\/2\" clearance to cut installed copper piping, and the 14-inch inline lightweight design provides extended reach into tight mechanical rooms and crawl spaces. The rotating head solves the access problem conventional cutters face when they cannot rotate fully around a pipe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQ: Can the Milwaukee 2471-21 cut refrigeration lines or ACR copper tubing?\u003c\/b\u003eA: The Milwaukee 2471-21 cuts copper tubing from 1\/2\" to 1-1\/8\" outer diameter. Most refrigeration liquid lines are 3\/8\" OD, which is below the minimum cutting capacity of this tool. HVAC technicians should verify that their refrigeration line sizes fall within the 1\/2\" to 1-1\/8\" OD range before purchasing this cutter for air conditioning and refrigeration work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQ: What's the difference between the 2471-21 and the 2471-22 model?\u003c\/b\u003eA: The Milwaukee 2471-21 kit includes one M12 battery, while the 2471-22 kit (which this product replaces) included two batteries. Both kits contain the same 2471 cordless copper tubing cutter tool, a 30-minute charger, and a carrying case. If you need a second battery, you can purchase additional M12 REDLITHIUM batteries separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQ: How fast does the Milwaukee M12 copper cutter cut compared to manual cutters?\u003c\/b\u003eA: The Milwaukee M12 2471 cuts up to 10 times faster than conventional manual tubing cutters, powered by a 500 RPM motor with ultra-efficient gearing. This speed advantage significantly reduces time on jobs involving repetitive pipe cutting, such as new construction plumbing installations or large-scale remodeling projects with multiple copper line runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQ: Does the Milwaukee M12 copper cutter require any maintenance?\u003c\/b\u003eA: The metal cutting head is sealed for water protection and features corrosion and rust-resistant construction for long-term durability. The copper cutting wheel is a replaceable wear item that should be replaced when cutting performance declines. Keep the sealed cutting head free of debris and avoid forcing the tool on kinked or damaged pipe to maximize blade life and maintain clean, square cuts.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Milwaukee Tool","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44264732000436,"sku":"kpi249-2471-21","price":426.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/kpaulsupply.com\/products\/milwaukee-tool-2471-21-m12-cordless-copper-tubing-cutter-kit-w-1-battery-1-ea","provider":"KPaul Industrial","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
