Cut-Off Tool,12V, Bare Tool (2522-20)

This tool is a beast. Nicest cut-off tool on the market, just make sure you get good batteries to power it. It’s also the only cut-off tool that comes with a guide. Great to have for when you need straight cuts. The cut-off wheels that come with this tool are mediocre at best, so use this tool with good Diablo cut-off wheels and you will be unstoppable.

I'm a mechanical contractor and I do a little bit of everything. HVAC, Electrical, and a little plumbing in remodels. I bought this tool on a whim not having tried or seen one other than online. I ordered this with the intention of using it to cut PVC linehide and was blown away by the functionality of the tool. it not only works great for pvc, it works great for drywall. I recently did a job where radiant heating tubing was laying unsupported on a ceiling i had to run wire through this tool cut only to the paper allowing me to slice the paper with a razor knife giving me more control taking cut drywall out above my head. dust extraction is a must when cutting drywall with this tool. I've used the makita drywall saw and it is much easier to make clean lines with, but slower, and harder to dial the depth right as to not cut anything behind the wall. dust is not as much of an issue with the makita tool. Also, this is my favorite tool to use when cutting metal. You name it, sheet metal, Uni-strut, all-thread, junction boxes, bolts, round duct, square duct, copper even, this is the tool for the job. Also this thing works wonders with the diamond blade for small work to flatten rock for mounting electrical disconnects for a/c to masonry. Also great for cutting tile for outlets or switches. The smaller battery packs do not seem to give the tool the same power as with the larger XC batteries, although I don't notice the difference on some of my other m12 tools. I barely touch my 4 inch grinder now. On second thought maybe don't buy this one cause everybody will want to borrow it! 5/5 would recommend

Great product performed as it should

I bought this will the knowledge that it would be a very limited use tool. After trying it I have used it more than I ever thought I would. The best thing is the small size and the ability to get in very tight areas. Yes, it will.bog down if you try to cut too aggressively, Take your time it will be your best friend. I recently cut some flanges off a display sign and was able to cut it off right at the base with no additional grinding. As much as I love my Makita cordless grinder, there is no way it would have gotten in such a tight area without additional grinding. I also love the ability to reverse the direction to control which way the sparks fly and get them away from your face. Buy a bigger amp.battery ( I'm using a 6 amp) and its an awesome tool

I find this tool useful for grinding pipes and smoothing sharp edges around my workspace. It’s not designed for heavy-duty tasks, so it can slow down with tougher jobs. The batteries tend to run out quickly if I use it a lot, but for small projects, it works well. I’m glad I got it. If it ever stopped working, I’d buy a new one without hesitation.

Not to pee in the cheerios of all the stellar reviews about this mini-cutoff tool...but the NSA in reality is it's underpowered for sure. If you're a regular steel worker used to a typical 4.5" corded cutoff/grinder, This mini will not be a great display of power in your wheelhouse. Just for real-time data...it took me 2 minutes to do a single 5/16 bolt cutoff. This is an eternity compared to a 4.5" grinder. This is for sure intended for thin sheet or small detail cuts your typical cutoff radius is too much for. Just don't expect to be blown away is all...you may wanna consider a rechargeable 4.5" over this if you're not doing tight radii/detail work and wanna go "unplugged." Personally I own all three types of cutoffs and I waited years to commit to one of these minis for a reason. It has it's unique purpose no question and I plan to keep it in the quiver. But definitely think twice about adding this as an alternative/substitute to your 4.5" corded...it's not even close to that power/cutting times. Beyond making small relief cuts or tight exhaust spaces...my 4.5" battery grinder will dominate my "untethered" projects. Same exact thing goes for you cats planning on doing woodwork with it and expecting it to match your small 4.5" corded/battery saws. Well-seasoned and elaborate "tool collectors" with extra cash = BUY IT. Someone tight on funds looking for a #2 secondary cutoff to do tasks similar to how your 4.5" corded saws would perform = DON'T.

Love this little tool for small jobs, smaller rebar, smaller angle iron, plenty of power to cut right through them.

Wow, does this thing work well.

Prodotto ottimo lavora in entrambi i sensi di taglio mediante apposito interruttore, il che è ottimo per gestire il flusso dei schizzi derivanti dal taglio

A perfect product. Top brand - i wouldn't expect less

コンパクトで使いやすい

I’ve been using the Milwaukee M12 Fuel 3" Cut Off Tool for a few weeks now and it’s been a really handy addition to my tools. It’s compact and lightweight, which makes it easy to handle, especially when working in tight spaces where a larger grinder would be awkward. I’ve used it to cut metal, bolts, and some tile, and it handled the jobs better than I expected for such a small tool. The brushless motor feels powerful and the tool spins up quickly. It makes clean, precise cuts and the control is really good with one hand. The guard adjustment is also simple and useful depending on the angle you’re working at. One thing to keep in mind is that this is the bare tool, so it does not come with a battery or charger. I already have other M12 tools, so that wasn’t an issue for me, but it’s something new buyers should be aware of. With a good M12 battery, it performs really well. Overall, it’s a solid, well-built tool that’s great for small cutting jobs and quick tasks. If you’re already using the M12 system, this is definitely a useful tool to have.
