I have two of them. I love them both! DON"T let it get water down into the unit. If your cutting copper with water in it, keep the tool upright.

It is great for cutting in tight places. It also has a built in light and a battery indicator. My first one broke because my helper did not have it lined up on the copper correctly and bent the spring on the inside. I sent it back to Milwkee with all intentions of paying for the repair. They sent it back fixed at NO charge. I love Milwaukee tools. They make tools for Plumbers.

Ridgid makes a copper cut and prep machine. I wish we had one.

You don't know joy until you work a commercial jobsite with one of those set up at it! Company I used to work for got one and we used it on a few jobs until it got stolen. It never got replaced but not for lack of our griping!

It's like A/C in a car. You think that you don't need anything so frivolous... but then when you have it you realize how goood it is.

Futz: About as much as a cheap threader I think. That's why we never got a new one. But the party was good while it lasted! If the boss had realized the time we were saving each crew prolly would've had one!

I have the ridgid machine, best tool i ever bought. cost 1k new, but pays for itself fast. take less then 10 seconds to make a cut. works up to 2", cleans fittings and reams well. Best part is i never misplace it on the job. I'm the type that could look for my cutter for ten minutes when im standing on it. (at my age i can hide my own easter eggs)
