M18™ Brushless Threaded Rod Cutter (Tool Only)

The Milwaukee 2872-20 M18™ Brushless Threaded Rod Cutter is a specialized cordless cutting tool designed for electricians, mechanical contractors, and plumbers who frequently work with threaded rod in overhead or repetitive installation applications. Built on the M18 platform, it provides a fast, clean, and efficient alternative to manual cutting or band saws.

Powered by a brushless motor, this tool is engineered to cut the most common threaded rod sizes—including 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2" mild steel, as well as 1/4" and 3/8" stainless steel—making it ideal for hanger systems, strut installations, and prefab work.

One of its biggest advantages is clean, burr-free cutting, which allows nuts to be threaded on immediately without additional cleanup or rethreading—saving significant time on repetitive installs. The tool uses rotating multi-size cutting dies, enabling quick switching between rod sizes without changing accessories.

Designed for productivity, it features auto jaw opening for rapid repetitive cuts and a reverse function to prevent accidental cutting. The centered grip and balanced design make it well-suited for one-handed overhead operation, while its flat base allows stable use for bench-top prefabrication.
