Streamline overhead pipe hanging, duct installation, and electrical strut fabrication with the Milwaukee® M18™ Brushless Threaded Rod Cutter. This specialized cordless tool completely replaces slow, dangerous hand saws and angle grinders with a clean, cold-shear cutting mechanism. Driven by an advanced brushless motor, it generates the power to snap through 1/2" mild steel and 3/8" stainless steel threaded rod in seconds. Because the optimized blade geometry pinches rather than grinds, it eliminates dangerous sparks and flying metal chips entirely while guaranteeing a perfect, installation-ready cut every time. Ergonomically designed for absolute versatility, the tool features a balanced, centered grip that makes one-handed overhead trimming effortless, paired with a flat horizontal base that remains completely stable during benchtop fabrication. It features unique four-sided rotatable cutting dies, allowing operators to switch between three different rod diameters on a single tool simply by indexing the die blocks. With an automated jaw-opening mechanism for rapid, repetitive cycling and a dedicated electrical reverse override button, this tool optimizes trade productivity. It delivers over 400 clean cuts through 3/8" mild steel on a single charge of a compact M18™ REDLITHIUM™ 2.0Ah battery.
