🚀 Abunda's Overview

This is our summary and key points to consider based on customer reviews.


The Milwaukee PVC cutter is well-regarded by plumbers and DIY enthusiasts alike for its power, efficiency, and utility. The tool efficiently cuts up to 2" PVC pipes, providing clean, even cuts with no need for de-burring. It is hailed for being somewhat sturdy and easy to use, with users finding it a lifesaver on big jobs. However, some users find the design slightly bulky and the cutting effect a bit skewed at times.

Pros

  • ✂️ Provides clean, even cuts without the need for de-burring
  • 🔄 Variable speed control allows precision
  • 🔋 Operates well even on smaller, less cumbersome batteries

Cons

  • 🗜 Some users find the design bulky and the grip a bit awkward
  • 📏 Tool may pull to the side causing slightly crooked cuts
  • 💰 Some users feel it's a bit expensive for occasional use

Should I Buy It?

If you frequently deal with PVC cutting tasks, the Milwaukee PVC cutter could be a wise investment. Though it is somewhat pricy and has a somewhat bulky design, its power, efficiency, and utility make it a solid purchase for professionals and enthusiastic DIYers. If you are an occasional user, you might want to consider the price-to-usage ratio before investing.


  • !!!! Must Have this 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. ... show more

  • Great tool with some considerations.
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. ... show more

  • Do you need it...maybe...YES!
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! ... show more

  • Great but expensive for what it is
If I didn't have arthritis I would just use manual PVC cutters as I have most of my life. But since I have arthritis, this is a really helpful tool.

  • Best purchase for a plumber
I'm a plumber if nineteen years plus. I have cut so feet much PVC pipe.. among other types of plastic pipe. And by far the best way to cut them. It cuts fast and clean no mess to clean up in trims and in customers homes cuts straight as an arrow. Battery has last many days of cutting nothing but pipe. If the battery is new I have made it through two four and a half bathroom rough ins with not problems. Now if only made one to cut up to three inch they would sell out to all plumbers!!! Great product! Thank you Milluakee! Although it does cost a good chunk of change.. but it takes money to make it!? ... show more

  • this is a tool you did not know you need
Some caveats: this tool will not cut cleanly (in my experience) the 1 1/4" and 1 12" plastic pipes you find under your kitchen sink. For me, it tended to shatter them as it cut thru. It will definitively not cut metal of any kind like copper pipe. It will however cut up to 2" schedule 40 pvc, cleanly, quickly, squarely, in place. If you find yourself doing that kind of work its a great tool. Each time you reach for it you will be glad you have it. ... show more
