Milwaukee M18 Brushless Threaded Rod Cutter M18 2872-20 + FREE M18 REDLITHIUM XC5.0 Battery Pack 48-11-1850
PRECISION THREADED FASTENING EFFICIENCY
Engineered for the high-volume mechanical and electrical contractor, the Milwaukee 2872-20 M18 Brushless Threaded Rod Cutter delivers a revolutionary solution for overhead installations and bench-top fabrication. By eliminating the sparks, chips, and noise associated with abrasive saws or band saws, this tool provides a safer, cleaner workflow while producing clean, burr-free cuts that allow nuts to be threaded by hand immediately. Its centered grip and horizontal design provide the stability required for precision one-handed overhead work, significantly reducing fatigue during massive conduit or pipe hanging projects.
- / BURR-FREE CUTTING: Specialized blade geometry produces clean cuts that are immediately ready for threading without secondary filing.
- / FOUR-SIDED CUTTING DIES: Versatile die system allows for cutting 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2" mild steel as well as 1/4" and 3/8" stainless steel.
- / OPTIMIZED ERGONOMICS: Centered grip provides superior balance for overhead trimming and a flat base for stable benchtop operation.
- / AUTO-JAW OPENING: Features an automatic reset after each cut to maximize speed during repetitive fastening applications.
- / M18 BRUSHLESS MOTOR: Delivers over 400 cuts per charge when paired with an M18 REDLITHIUM 2.0Ah battery pack.

MAXIMIZE YOUR FLEET PRODUCTIVITY WITH THE INDUSTRY-LEADING WORKHORSE
The M18 REDLITHIUM XC5.0 Battery Pack is the fundamental building block for any professional M18 fleet, engineered to deliver the optimal balance of power-to-weight ratio and long-term ROI. Built with superior pack construction and advanced electronics, this unit provides up to 2.5X more runtime and 20% more power than standard lithium-ion solutions. By utilizing REDLINK Intelligence, the battery communicates directly with the tool to prevent overloads and over-discharging, ensuring your high-torque impact drivers and heavy-duty rotary hammers operate at peak efficiency without risking cell damage. The internal frame is designed to withstand high-vibration environments and accidental drops, while the specialized water-routing channels protect sensitive electronics from jobsite moisture, making it a reliable power source in the most demanding conditions.
- / REDLINK Intelligence optimizes performance and provides overload protection using total system communication between tool, battery, and charger.
- / Best-in-class construction offers long-lasting performance and durability, featuring an on-board fuel gauge to monitor remaining runtime.
- / All-weather performance delivers fade-free power in extreme jobsite conditions, operating at temperatures as low as 0°F/-18°C.
- / Versatile M18 System compatibility ensures this 5.0Ah pack powers over 250+ Milwaukee cordless solutions.
