Little dude stressing me out with those aggressive questions 😂
@MotorcycleMan He is a New York Italian! Wassamatta u.
Wow, yea. Someone cut him off the monster drinks. Holy shit. Thought he was going to do the goodfellas “ what does this tool mean??, what do you mean, does this tool amuse you? Is this tool a clown to you?”
Too much coffee
Vince has a high energy personality, a quality guy who works hard for his subs.
Yes, he comes across as super aggressive. I can only watch him in small doses.
I'm a commercial electrician at a major hospital, we use this ALL THE TIME to cut walker duct, aluminum duct, metal studs, tile... It's easily one of my favorite tools. I use it almost every day.
Hahaha!
My coworker once brought in an angle grinder and cut out a hole in our marble counter so our packaged meds would fall into the drawer instead of the ground.
I’m an HVAC tech and this is perfect for cutting motor shafts and 90 percent flue pipes... comes handy when climbing up 2 stories, definitely recommend.
I agree, first thought I had was cutting motor shafts. Then maybe all thread . I can also see this useful for cutting flue pipe I have been using a corded saws all
I love how raw these reviews are and not scripted.
Absolutely. The guest stuttering gave me much faith in the accuracy of what is said and demonstrated.
This tool is perfect for cutting pizza!
Maybe the cheese backsplash not so much, use it forward with the vac lol
Michael Knecht Prove it
Good one bro
😂😂😂
You need to find a new pizza joint
It's a great tool I use it often as an HVAC tech. It overheats and shuts down if too much pressure is applied while cutting or it binds. Harbor freight sells 3" blades that work good on this tool
What do you use it for? I can't think of a place I would use this in hvac
@@dam8072 cutting old rusty bolts. Bolts on pump flanges many times are rusted Bradley together. Old steam pipes, blower shafts. Threaded rod to hand a unit. I cut a return out in sheet metal once.
I recently started a contract involving plumbing roughly 80 new apartments being installed in an old high rise building. For every drain and vent that I have to core drill between floors (8-10 inches of concrete), I also have to cut out that section of steel tracking and this little tool has become my new best friend for that. At first we were stuck using tin snips and a multi tool to make the first cut (what an ungodly sound that is), and then scoring the other side with a razor and just bending it til it broke free. A decently lengthy and noisy process. Now I can just mark my lines around the hole and zip right through with this little grinder. Love the channel Vince!
Vince, while making a living as a dealership technician the air powered version of the 3" cut off tool was invaluable. It was used for exhaust clamps, hangers, shortening fasteners and body sheet metal fabrication. I think Milwaukee has a home run here. They have added greater flexibility to the cut off tool simply by adding a shoe, dust collection and a variety of blade options. I can now use it in my remodel trade and mechanical work all without the hassle of an air hose.
Awesome feedback Supertech thanks!!
@@VCGConstructionmaybe you can talk to them about making a m18 version of this tool. I love the m12 version and I use the crap out of it but something with a little more power would be awesome
I really want m18 version of this tool. I love the m12 version and I use the crap out of it but something with a little more power would be awesome
I use this tool more than any tool in my box. My absolute most favorite.
What are you using it for if you don't mind me asking
more than your multitool?
Another thought you almost need this tool in your kitchen drawer!Need it in any workshop.This video makes for a good demo for this machine.
I love this tool way more than I expected to. I use it a lot. I have a DeWalt corded grinder the Milwaukee M18 cordless paddle switch grinder and I still pull this out frequently. As KotC said small, tight spots, more control, depth control, fence - where I need more precision than I get with a grinder.
Love mine so far, It loves the 6.0 or any XC pack for sure, noticeable power increase. I usually never run the 2.0 on it
Yeah but even with the 2 it still works great
Why would you run this with a 2.0 when there are bigger packs? I just realized when they were cutting brick that they had the small pack in.
Did they mention that they were doing a test with only the 2? That motor size looks like it would like a 6.0.
@@ichoozjc I have this and there's a giant difference with the 2/3 and 4/6 packs.
If the angle grinder is the Rambo combat knife, and the Dremel is the scalpel, the cutoff tool is the pocket knife.
They all have their uses.
Good analogy
Great analogy. In auto repair, we call the angle grinder the purifier, AKA neutralizer. Because by the time it comes out, there's a little else to do
Except due to its shape, I cant fit the cutoff tool in many place where I can use my angle grinder.
For pvc and cpvc in tight areas I use almost exclusively the M12 hackzall with the shorter 4" blade. Works perfect for getting up into cabinets and other tight spaces.
That guy had a brilliant idea about reversing the rotation. Keep him around for ideas like that
I was literally thinking it a I watched. Then he said it. Worded even better than I was imagining.
@@marshalle.s.m.5578 It's a shame it seems to run better in reverse with the guard. Wonder how long it would take for the wheel to come flying off?
I'm very happy with this tool. I use it for many jobs cutting steel aluminum plastic acrylic and more.
As a landlord I do lots of handyman type work and some remodeling. The M12 fits the bill for me without the weight and expense of the larger tool line.
Likely to make quick work of a deadbolt if you don't have the key, the blade would fit between the door and the jam.
This is needed, grinders are a pain to mess with when your in the middle of the job. This is awesome & well needed! Good job Milwaukee!
Can you gring or sharpen hardened , broken flat head tips, knives with this?
I just recently bought this tool. I've used it to cut tile in a parking lot of an apartment building where I had no access. I've used it to cut downspouts nice and clean. I love this little cut off wheel!
I glued 60grit paper to the side of the tile cutting disc and use this thing to cope crown moulding instead of a large grinder with a flap disc. FWD & REV is pretty sweet.
People hate on this tool so UNFAIRLY! This is a GREAT TOOL! I have used this tool from demo to finish work and on everything from laminate flooring, metal, metal pipe, TILE, drywall, pvc, cement, cement board, vinyl siding & trim, countertops, copper, gutters to wood! .... and YES, I HAVE cut brick, cinder blocks and landscape pavers with THIS! It's great for notching or the like. Yes a grinder is faster and more capable but it's also a lot more to handle and not as precise if you need something fairly intricate cut. It's a great option to have on the trailer and has bailed me out many times on oddball cuts and nagging having the "proper" tool on site. It rides permanently in my truck box so it's always with me and there only a few tools that get that honor. I think people that talk trash on this tool are just showing their honest ignorance as soon as they open their mouth about it. Don't believe them! I'd buy this again in a HEARTBEAT!
it actually works great for cutting rigid Pipe / inner duct in electrical / communications vaults where the space is at a premium. I was using a m12 Hakzall and it was a challenge to get into the vault and cut the duct without hitting the other ducts or bending the shit out of the blade.
Perfect tool for guys who cut tiles, you could cut out an area of existing floor tiles and install a decorative tile piece. Or even adding decorative pieces to back splashes while keeping the dust to a minimum with the vac attachment.
Plus it looks alot safer than full sized grinder wheel that let's face it, is many times overkill for applications that people use them for on job sites.
Now I want one just because I like likes to cut shits 🙂
They need to figure out a quick detach for the disks though 🤙🏻
I use this tool almost everyday, for sheet metal and other uses, best minigrinder
I know know this is an old video, but this tool is very powerful for it's size it cuts through anything I throw at it the only limiting factor is the blade depth.
I have been using a pneumatic version of this for years. Been slow to pick it up because my M12 band saw have done the job. I just need to bite the bullet and get it. I can bet it will do great with my 4 and 6 amp hour batteries
I have this and used it for a large project 2 weeks ago. We didn’t have power on the site we used it to cut sonotubes, plywood and 3/8’s inch bolts. My guys didn’t think it would help but ended up using it the whole time. PS use the 6AH batteries it burns through smaller batteries fast.
10:55 now I’m impressed! Had no love for the tool until this! You don’t condone running it backwards but after seeing this it would be the ONLY way I run it!
Vince. I use this tool for cutting auto door and roof paneling (plastic, fiber-board or material) for camper conversions in vans and SUVs. It also works great for cutting auto carpet and under-padding. It is a little underpowered. I use either a 4ah or a 6ah battery which helps. Knuckle (OWG)
Awesome, we appreciate the feedback Knuckle !!
This COMPLEMENTS the angle grinder. Doesn't replace. Great for ductwork (surprised nobody mentioned this??)
Walter's Playground not many tin knockers here
Yeah, i fully agree with you. If you own a decent/good angle grinder (i have the 60volt flexvolt, and a corded paddle switch Dewalt) adding this tool is super helpful, the reverse direction ability and the sheer small size and low weight to this tool make it great for any time you encounter a tight situation where access is the main concern. I wish it had a belt hook like the rivet gun, for zipping off nails or cutting a screw or bolt in a tight spot where a hacksaw blade is your best option. If you are able to fit this tool where you need to be to make the cut (i took my guard off completely to make it as small as possible) then i cant imagine wanting to cut it by hand over this. If this didn't fit i would try my 12volt bosch dremel tool (GRO actual name they gave it) with a 1.25" cutoff wheel (dremel brand ez loc quick release) if not that then a 12volt reciprocating saw (i own the bosch 12v) if i bought the m12 i would definitely get the FUEL version. Having all the big 18v/20v + 60v tools are fantastic for all cutting applications. Unless there is some reason why it won't fit into the spot you need access to. Thus opening the door for so many awesome m12, makita 12v CXT, and bosch 12v tools. (Dewalt only recently started making good 12volt tools). My favorite tools from Milwaukee are the 12 volt tools, they have the most diverse lineup of 12 volt tools, i.e. m12 rocket, grinder, rivet gun, bandsaw, temp gun, FUEL installation drill/driver, but they still dont have some of the cool 12volt Bosch and makita tools. Namely bosch 12v router & planer, GRO (i think is better then the m12 version), makita 12v green cross line laser, carpet cutter, radio
Ductwork! Yes, perfect use.
@@libman1597 they have a 12v Radio and just released a green laser.
I work in an industrial maintenance. Sometimes you need to make quick cuts on bolts, sheet metal or whatever. Had an air cutoff in my box. This allows me to cut the hose. No need to look for am air drop or hose reel. It likes batteries but it keeps up with the airtool provided it isn't prolonged use
exactly...thats the purpose of it...to make quick cuts on small jobs...thanks for watching 👍
King of the freaking crease!!! Nice job guys
I use this all the time in HVAC for smaller diameter cuts. My big 4 tools are this, the M12 bandsaw, hackzall, and the oscillating tool.
Also it's absolutely wonderful for cutting tile dry
Just picked it up today for my dads Christmas present and I think it will be awesome for doing the body work on our 1966 jeep gladiator
Seems perfect for automotive and light duty fabrication
I’ve had it for about a year, you don’t realize how handy it is until you have one. Sheet metal pvc rubber ive notched wood in a pinch. Bolts in a tight spot rusted. I was like you vince before I bought it what can it do that my grinder can’t however this tool proved that thinking wrong. At your own risk, lol I have used it too cut wire bc my cutters were not close.
Agree, I bought one on impulse and had some regrets, but sure enough, the next day I used it for several jobs (Cutting steel channel that had been placed where bathroom heat lamps were supposed to go, cutting out tiles for power points etc) and I've used it nearly every day since. I love it!
Laminate Flooring. This tool, much like the Makita 3-1/8" Mini Circular is a GREAT tool for a guy like me. I do a TON of engineered hardwood/laminate flooring. Thinner planks. And the great benefit is the ability to stay close to the work area. Theres no need to get up and walk out to the chop saw etc. Whatever cutting tool you may be needing. It is much quicker and more time efficient. Just having a smaller tool like this for thinner applications is a huge plus. What I like more about the 3" Milwaukee cut off is the size in comparison to the Makita 3 -1/8" mini circular. The Makita handle is much larger and with the battery adds even more length. This is a tool I have been eyeing for a long time but I'm on a totally different platform. So is it worth buying the tool, plus batteries and charger, for 1 tool...
If it changes the way you work “for the better “ then yes!
Fantastic for people who constantly have to cut to precise depth because they don't want to hit things. I use it on lanscape audio systems to cut the PVC low after wire's been ran and the pipe is too all. Also great for precise drywall cuts and hook up a vaccum to minimize dust. Great
Does cut quickly! Great video guys 😊
Looks fantastic for nipping composite decking and trim
Good morning guys! Have a great day and keep those great videos coming! 🌞🧰⚙️🔩🛠🧰
❤️
I've had it for 6 months I absolutely love it The only two problems I have are the only place I've been able to source The blades are online, Milwaukee online, or Grainger. And when you're in a working environment goes options are not helpful.I have questioned every Milwaukee rep I've bumped into at Home depots and ask why Home Depot does not sell the three different blade types and then Milwaukee reps have no answers.
You can get the Husky abrasive blades in 5pk next to the pneumatic cut off tool, they fit. As far as the other ones, I haven’t figured out what to do other than order online.
THD determines what is sold in stores, not the reps. They won’t have that answer, ask a store manager instead.
Harbor freight has 3" blades that I use with this tool
Menards has good selection.
Short guy very aggressive, tall guy a gentle giant !
Brian, glad you mentioned reversing blade for dust, as that was what I do & was gonna say here 🤣. Really does work well for plumbing, hvac, & electrical work, when can’t get a grinder in those awkward small spaces. Great job Vince & Brian.
Cheers👍🏻
thanks aepek ! you are the man 👍
3:10 Look at the Big guy's priceless face pause after turning on the toddler toy..."Oh it's 20,000 rpm" (Oh wow!)
I am an HVAC Mechanic and we use it on metal ductwork and returns on air handlers. On seams it leaves a perfect cut.
Great video, I put a lot of faith in your videos. You really put them through real life testing not like the company demos. You try to break them 😂. I think for the price, convenience, and versatile it would be worth the purchase. Thanks.
Excellent for cutting outlets in smooth stucco. Cutting rack rails, and trimming bolts. For some reason I do run into that semi regularly
Handy little machine!Could be a real neat go to instrument for those little cuts.A little saw that can!A good alternate to a grinder or even a Dremel tool.
Perfect for trimming toilet bolts 👍
We have soffcut early entry saws for cutting concrete and they run in reverse like you demonstrated the second time. Along with the bottom shoe, it helps to keep the cut from chipping or spalling. We can cut concrete one hour after finishing. So that’s an acceptable way to use this tool, in reverse. As a matter of fact, I wish my grinders had a forward and reverse. Thanks for the video gang!
Thanks Cuz!
Yes, it is just like a circular saw, you gotta run it in reverse and it is even safer, as it wont pull you into the cut.
I bought one last month. It works great
I just picked this tool up to trim some 28 gauge steel, and it was absolutely worth it!
I just got one! I haven’t use it but I’m pretty sure I will love it!
"Clamp it down?? WTF. Use your man hands!"...
Proceeds to clamp it down. LOL
Great tool. Wood, drywall, angle iron, stainless steel. This tool is a hause.
on my current job site im operating a metal cutting station and this tool would be absolutely perfect for making headers and trims.
080821/2338h PST Very unique way of demonstrating a tool ! I bought Milwaukee Cutoff tool and will start a few DIY jobs. I also bought a Pneumatic band saw attachment, that with an adapter will make the cutoff tool to perform as band saw. Thanks guys. Take care and be safe. 73s…
I love my Milwaukee cut off tool I have two the other one is a mini belt sander😍🥰 which I also showed on your channel❤️👍🏻
i love when my brotha Vince says "i tells ya this" lol VCG Construction is now the OG of tube tool reviews thank u
Actually the og are AvE and Project Farm before Tony meatballs over here
Yo fellas! Happy Saturday! Just bought that cut off tool last week. I like it so far.
What up famous Amos!?!?
Great for cutting into junction boxes and control cabinets. Combine with the rack a tiers magnetic dust bag for the inside. Disco.
Definitely a good tool for tin / aluminum or hardware cloth / stainless steel mesh. I do alot of wildlife repair with wire mesh and this would be alot nice for larger or angled cuts. Snips are a pain in the ass for stuff like that
I have this at work....I gotta say....I see the potential but maybe mine needs another blade cuz it bucks back at ya a lot...my go to is the hackzall but I’m also cutting up drop material off the cnc for trash purposes ie acrylic, aluminum, pvc, acm up to 1/2” thick. I’d def use it more if I can find its sweet spot 🇺🇸
Awesome demo Vince and Brian. I gotta get me one of those!
🤣 @ 4.46 if he wasn't already talking he would have said gimme that !! As he whipped it away
Love mine use it for so many things you realise how quick you can just cut through little things where a multitool isnt suitable.
i love it, at first i didnt think id use it much but it gets into tight areas. not super powerful but gets it done
Last comment: I know Brian’s an OG over here so this is old news to most people but he’s clearly a solid dude. I love how there’s never fake people on your videos. I mean maybe some brand reps but that goes with the territory 😂. Always nice to see someone disprove the nice guys finish last theory. Kill it KOTC.
Thanks Fee we appreciate it!
Got one of these and I love it very handy
PERFECT FOR CUTTING LOCKS AND HANDCUFFS.
i do plumbing an i love this tool!
I'm back and forth on picking one up- where dy find it helpful/essential? Convince me..
Great tool for certain applications, would be great for HVAC duct work, not so much for PVC, Milwaukee makes a PVC shear tool which works great for PVC up to 2".
I have one and I used mine to cut aluminum thresholds, flashing, and 1 inch angle iron.
So we can use either type of battery with it? Either the square ones or the barrel type? Cuz I only have the latter ones….
I'm a Milwright I would like to try it for installations and refits of equipment. I think it would be useful. Sometimes a grinder is just too big.
Great video Vince , I love my cutoff tool I reach for it alot then again all my m12 is used more often the M18 stuff 👍✌️🍻
That’s good Feedback Robert, thanks!
Excellent for punch list. Can easily cut grout to replace a couple tiles.
I got this thinking I could use it like a trim saw...then found out I couldn't find any toothed saw blades. Then I needed to cut off a piece of a duct, then a corner of a tile, then .... Handy little tool. Still looking for Milwaukee or Ryobi to come out with a good cordless trim saw like the DeWalt Atomic circular saw. I would get the DeWalt, but trying not to get into another battery system.
I have the 12v Bosch and I like it. Handy.
I haven't seen Nick in a while. I love that guy!
Mine arrived today 👍👍👍👍👍
As a Millwright, I find that most tools in the 12volt line from Milwaukee can’t keep up with my needs. Small quick job maybe but most just bog down or isn’t fast enough. The only one I can only recommend is the bandsaw for cutting conduit. All others like this one and the die grinders doesn’t put out the torque
I brow this at work constantly to cut keys for key ways for drive shafts
Round of applause suggesting to throw it in reverse on the brick 👌
This is $109 with 2.0 battery at Hime Depot today special deal along with other Milwaukee. Just a heads up🤙🏼
Thanks Artie!!
Only concern is operating in reverse, do you have a problem with the blade retention screw coming loose? Dust extraction in reverse was amazing! Virtually NO dust escaped!
I’m an automotive tech and having a hard time justifying this one. I can see it’s got a purpose, but for my usage I need to sometimes make deeper cuts and clearance with this tool looks like it would be an issue.
Me too. But you know how it goes, if you don't need it you'll still end up buying it!
I have pneumatic band file ( small hand held belt sander), and was wanting to get a cordless one that could use my M12 batteries. Sadly milwaukee does make this toolchest. So I got one of these, and then when on eBay and purchased a little conversing kit that uses the arm off of my pneumatic band file, and now I have a 2 in 1 cordless hand held cut off tool / band file. I've also found that you can still cut larger pavers by using this tool to scor the brick then tap it with a hammer to get a decent break.
WOW another tool I didn't know I needed LOL
I wonder if it could get through conduit
@@djriize it should they cut some pretty good stuff there
Gary Knable im thinking 1/2 conduit at the most tho
Gary Knable i dono if i would try it on 3/4
@@djriize Yea I think 3/4 would be pushing the limits
My biggest mistake was going w everything m18 for electrical. Don't need all that power m12 much lighter and gets the job done.
I work maintenance at a trailer park and I can think of a few uses for that like one of them cutting skirting
general contractors who do a lot of demo work are in a completely different world then those of us who are in specialized trades like electrical plumbing hvac. this tool is meant for small precise work like cutting metal screens duct work trim work pipe cutting conduit cutting dry wall cutting. its small and light...if you want to use big 2 handed angle grinders to make small precise cuts by all means go ahead but smart people work smart...
I use it to make square cutouts in stainless steel or carbon steel electrical enclosures. Nice tool, use the big ass M12 battery though.
I think it's good for all thread, and cutting motor shafts
That dude is all hyped up…
I’m an electrician, and I need to cut cover plates a lot and I think this would be more handy than holding my grinder
And I still have my Roto zip. 😍
I was waiting for Tony Soprano to show up with a smile and a few jokes then grab his envelope and head over to Badda Bing...
