Milwaukee 48-44-0405 – Replacement Blade for M12™ Plastic Pipe Shear

The Milwaukee 48-44-0405 is a factory replacement blade designed for use with the Milwaukee M12™ Plastic Pipe Shear (Tool Model 2470-20). This precision-machined blade is constructed from corrosion-resistant stainless steel and features a reinforced cutting edge for long service life in demanding job site conditions.

Optimized for use on rigid non-metallic piping, the blade cleanly cuts through Schedule 40 and 80 PVC, Schedule 40 CPVC, ABS, and PEX tubing. Its pierce-point geometry initiates a clean start and supports smooth, burr-free shearing throughout the full stroke of the tool.

Key Features

• Stainless Steel Construction: Corrosion-resistant for consistent performance in wet or humid environments.
• Reinforced Cutting Edge: Reduces the risk of chipping and edge degradation over repeated use.
• Pierce-Point Tip: Improves initial material engagement and supports efficient shearing action.
• Tool Compatibility: Engineered specifically for use with Milwaukee M12™ Plastic Pipe Shear (Model 2470-20).
• Clean Cut Quality: Provides straight, burr-free cuts on rigid plastic piping for secure joint fittings and reduced post-processing.
