Milwaukee 48-22-4210 Ratcheting Pipe Cutter 1-5/8 in

Product Description

The Milwaukee Electric Tool 48-22-4210 is a ratcheting pipe cutter designed for clean, straight cuts on pipe up to 1-5/8 inches in diameter. The blade is constructed from stainless steel, giving it a durable cutting edge with long service life. A piece-point blade geometry allows the cutter to pierce pipe accurately without crushing or cracking the material. An all-metal lock integrated into the handle enables one-handed operation, and an ergonomic handle design reduces fatigue during extended use. An integrated lanyard hole is included for tool tethering on elevated work sites.

This pipe cutter is suited for plumbing, mechanical, and HVAC work where clean pipe cuts are required. The ratcheting mechanism reduces the hand effort needed per cut, making it practical for repetitive cuts in tight spaces or overhead installations. It is well-suited for residential and light commercial applications where copper, plastic, or thin-wall pipe is cut to length during rough-in or service work. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians are the primary users.
