Our take on the Milwaukee 2522-20 M12 FUEL Cut Off Tool

The Milwaukee 2522-20 is a one-handed 3-inch cut-off tool built on the M12 FUEL platform. Its POWERSTATE brushless motor spins at 20,000 RPM, and a reversible blade rotation lets you direct sparks and burrs up or down. The kit ships with a carbide abrasive blade, a diamond tile blade, a metal cut-off wheel, a shoe guard with a vacuum port and a 2.5 Ah HIGH OUTPUT battery. It suits plumbers, electricians and remodelers cutting conduit, tile, screws and sheet metal in tight spots; against corded 3-inch cutters it trades some sustained power for cordless reach and one-hand control.

About the Milwaukee 2522-20 M12 FUEL Cut Off Tool

The Milwaukee M12 FUEL 3" Compact Cut Off Tool is a cordless cutting tool for multiple materials. It is designed for one-handed use and spins at 20,000 RPM. A POWERSTATE Brushless Motor provides power and long motor life.

Blade rotation is reversible, so the user can choose the rotation for the direction they need to cut. REDLINK PLUS intelligence provides optimized performance and overload protection. An LED light improves visibility in confined spaces and low light.

The guard adjusts without tools. An accessory guard and shoe with a vacuum port help control dust and set cut depth. The tool accepts common 3" cut off wheels with a 3/8" arbor. A 7/16" flange adapter allows use with 3" Dremel Saw-Max accessories.
