Milwaukee 48-22-4260 Close Quarters Tube Cutter 1/2 Inch

Product Description

The Milwaukee Electric Tool Corp 48-22-4260 is a close quarters tube cutter designed for cutting 1/2 inch tubing in confined spaces where standard cutters cannot reach. Built for plumbers and HVAC technicians, this tool features a compact frame that fits into tight access points without sacrificing cutting performance. Chrome rollers resist rust and hold up in wet environments, while integrated weep holes let water drain from the tool during use. The directional grip improves handling and lets the installer quickly identify swing direction, keeping cuts clean and controlled even at awkward angles.

This cutter is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and HVAC work where copper or soft tubing runs through framing, under cabinets, or in mechanical chases with limited clearance. It is a hand tool that any licensed plumber or HVAC technician would carry for service calls and rough-in work where space is the primary constraint.

Key Features

• Compact design accesses tight spaces standard cutters cannot reach
• Chrome rollers provide rust protection for wet job-site conditions
• Integrated weep holes allow water to drain from the tool body
• Directional grip aids handling and quick identification of swing direction

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before making any cuts on active plumbing. A licensed plumber or HVAC technician should make all tubing cuts in pressurized systems. Ensure the cutting wheel is properly seated on the tubing before rotating to avoid burring the cut edge. Deburr the cut end before fitting connections to maintain a proper seal.
