Make Nut-Ready Cuts with Milwaukee Tool’s New M18™ Brushless Threaded Rod Cutter

MILWAUKEE, WI- Milwaukee Tool is proud to unveil a new dedicated solution for making cuts in the most common sizes of threaded rod. The M18™ Brushless Threaded Rod Cutter delivers clean, burr-free cuts for threading nuts on by hand. It also has the power to cut through 1/4”, 3/8” and 1/2″ mild steel or 1/4” and 3/8″ stainless steel threaded rod in seconds.

The new tool features a unique, new-to-world, design with a 1-1/2” built-in trim length and one-handed center grip for making uniform, controlled overhead cuts. This also offers users the clearest line of site for the most accurate cuts. Not only is the tool optimized for overhead cutting, but it can also be laid flat on its back for pre-fab cutting.

A brushless motor and an M18™ REDLITHIUM™ 2.0Ah Battery allow this tool to deliver over 400 nut-ready cuts per charge, reducing the need to file the threaded rod before applying the nut. The die includes 3 different cutting sizes, which can be changed by rotating the dies, allowing users to cut the most common sizes of threaded rod. The REDLINK™ electronics allow the tool’s jaw to auto-retract back to home after each cut so users are ready for the next cut right away.

All these features work together to prevent burrs, chips, and sparks – all common frustrations when using non-dedicated tools to cut threaded rod.

Milwaukee® is committed to improving productivity by providing performance-driven and trade-focused solutions so users can perform an entire day’s work on one battery system. The new M18™ Brushless Threaded Rod Cutter is part of the M18™ System, now offering more than 180 power tool solutions, and is a true testament to Milwaukee’s focus on the user and investment in game-changing technology.
