Plastic Pipe Shear Kit, M12 Series

Milwaukee 2470-21 M12™ Plastic Pipe Shear Kit

The Milwaukee 2470-21 is a battery-powered shear designed for rapid, clean cutting of plastic piping materials including up to 2" schedule 80 PVC. Built for demanding job site conditions, this tool features a high-torque, 12V motor that delivers fast cycle times and consistent performance on a wide range of rigid and flexible plastics.

Engineered with a stainless steel blade and aluminum jaw housing, the shear offers enhanced durability and resistance to rust and impact. Its quick-return mechanism and offset blade geometry allow for efficient repetitive cuts and improved access in confined spaces, such as wall cavities and drop ceilings. The variable-speed trigger enables controlled operation in variable site conditions, including low-temperature environments.
