The Milwaukee 2482-20 is a cordless bandfile that runs on the M12 battery platform and uses 1/2-inch by 18-inch belts. It is built for spot weld removal, detail sanding and reaching narrow spots that a grinder or full-size sander cannot. Two speed settings (3,600 surface feet per minute on high, 1,800 on low), a variable speed trigger, forward and reverse and a lock-on button give fine control over how hard the belt cuts. It suits techs already on M12 batteries who want to drop the air hose and compressor for many jobs; against pneumatic bandfiles it trades unlimited runtime for portability, and against larger corded grinders it trades power for access. Owners rate it highly, praising the control and compact reach.

Owners rate it 4.9 out of 5 and mostly praise the control, the compact reach and the convenience of going cordless. Complaints center on it being a bare tool and on battery runtime under heavy use.
The Milwaukee M12 FUEL 1/2" x 18" Bandfile (model 2482-20) is a cordless bandfile for spot weld removal, detail sanding, weld cleanup and surface prep. It is made for automotive, collision repair, metalworking and industrial maintenance work in narrow spaces. It runs on the M12 battery system and uses a POWERSTATE brushless motor, so no air hose or compressor is needed.
Two speed settings, a variable speed trigger, forward and reverse, and a lock-on button control how the belt cuts. The tool-free 360 degree arm rotation changes the angle the belt approaches the work. Belt changes and belt alignment adjustment are also tool-free. The barrel grip keeps the tool compact in the hand.
This is a bare tool, so the battery and charger are sold separately. It includes two 60 grit sanding belts. Up to 50 spot welds per charge are possible with an M12 REDLITHIUM XC4.0 battery.
