I've purchased this item twice from Home Depot and returned both and bought this current refurbished one. The refurbished one stopped working on day two before the initial battery was finished with its' first charge. The first one from Home Depot did the same thing on day two shortly after the second charged battery was installed.
The second Home Depot tool started to run on the copper pipe on 1" signifigantly unless I held pressure against the direction it was running. It was like cutting a fine thread on a pipe machine for gas installation. The gentleman who made the review was correct about buying one for each of three trucks twice in a 14 day period. He is not exaggerating one bit and learn from our misfortune. It's not so much that it is made in China than it is poorly engineered and happens to be Milwaukee's big lemon that they should take off the shelves until they work out the kinks. I'm very careful with my refurbished one since I received it from the repair shop and I get the feeling it will last very shortly until it goes out. I definetly do not misuse the tool and have 29 years plumbing experience and use other M12 tools with no problems. The people who have good reviews just made their review to early in my opinion. Great tool I must say when it works. My fellow plumbers have lost interest in it since I've returned them and one co-worker saw it die right in front of me. Hope this helps you.Get more detail about Factory-Reconditioned Bare-Tool Milwaukee 2471-80 12-Volt Cordless M12 Lithium-Ion Copper Tubing Cutter (Tool Only, No Battery).
