Este artículo es super genial lo recomiendo 100 por ciento te hace el trabajo de plomeria cuando eres profesional más fácil y rápido

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!

You don’t need the large batteries. The smaller 1.5 ah are perfect and run for a couple hundred cuts. The small battery also makes it less cumbersome.This tool has variable speed control. With manual cutters on thin wall pipe you need to start off slow and wiggle the blade through the first part of the cut to prevent the pipe to collapsing then once you make the initial penetration you can go ahead and cut at the normal pace. You can do that with this tool. You can start off slow and stop during the cut anytime you want. If I’m cutting pipe that’s been exposed to sunlight for a while and chances are it’s brittle, I like to make the entry cut nice and slow while wiggling the cutter through the cut to keep it from shattering the pipe.. You can do that with this tool. Buy it, you’ll be glad you did.

I got this tool so my daughter who works with me in the automatic gate trade would have and easier time cutting the pvc pipe for the inground wiring we do. Her hand strength is not too great and the manual ratcheting pipe cutters are not very good anyway; I have used them for years and still have trouble getting through larger diameter pipe.This battery powered Milwaukee is so sweet (thats what my daughter said when I showed it to her!), I use it now all the time too. I can get into most of the applications I have like cutting pipe at the bottom of a trench. It does not fit as well into n9 christy boxes but I just cut the pipes more carefully before I drop the box over them. The speed control is nice so you can slowly cut the material on really cold days when it might shatter with a faster cut.Be careful with the blade; it is razor sharp when you get it. I accidentally brushed the side of my finger with the open blade and got a messy cut. Now I am careful to keep the blade closed until I am ready to make a cut then press the button to pop the blade open and make the cut.

Won't complete the last bit of a cut on 2" schedule 80 conduit without backing out and turning the pipe. Also, since it tends to deform (squeeze) the pipe before cutting, sometimes cuts aren't square.

Does what it supposed, an advice ALWAYS wear safety glasses when using.

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!?
