Engineered for mechanical contractors, plumbers, and remodelers, this copper tubing cutter runs at 500 RPM. The M12TM Lithium-Ion Battery allows you to make up to 200 cuts on a single charge. The cutting mechanism automatically adjusts it's diameter to cut Type K, L and M copper pipes from 3/8” to 1” (OD from ½” to 1-1/8”). The rotating cutting head cuts installed copper piping with as little as 1-1/2” clearance for an easier time in confined spaces. A built-in LED light illuminates the cutting surface. The metal cutting head is corrosion and rust resistant, and sealed for water protection, while electronic overload protection and unibody construction provide additional durability. An on board, real time battery gauge helps you monitor the charge precisely, so there’s less downtime on the job. The kit includes one 12-volt lithium-ion battery, a 30-minute charger and carrying case. A double-battery kit (model 2471-22) is also available.
