Cordless Compact Pipe Threader ONE-KEY with Die Heads for Professionals
Milwaukee M18 FUEL™ Compact Pipe Threader with ONE-KEY™ – 1/2"–1-1/4" Die Heads
The Milwaukee M18 FUEL™ Compact Pipe Threader with ONE-KEY™ (2870-22) is a cordless pipe-threading solution designed for professional plumbers, mechanical contractors, service technicians, and other tradespeople who need to create accurate pipe threads without relying on a corded threading machine.
Its compact design is optimized for service and repair work, particularly where space is limited. The threader can handle pipe sizes from 1/8" to 1-1/4" and is supplied with four lightweight forged-aluminum NPT die heads covering 1/2", 3/4", 1", and 1-1/4" sizes.
The tool combines a POWERSTATE™ Brushless Motor, REDLINK PLUS™ Intelligence, AUTOSTOP™ kickback control, and ONE-KEY™ technology to provide a portable and controlled alternative to manual ratcheting or larger threading equipment.
Key Features
Compact Cordless Design – Built for portability and work in tighter spaces.
1/8"–1-1/4" Pipe Capacity – Designed for common smaller-diameter pipe-threading applications.
POWERSTATE™ Brushless Motor – Provides the power and durability needed for professional threading.
AUTOSTOP™ Kickback Control – Detects severe kickback and automatically shuts the tool off.
Side-Grip Thread Start – Allows the operator to start threads without holding the spinning die head.
Die Head Retention Lock – Helps keep the die head securely attached during operation.
Dedicated Support Arm – Helps resist threading torque and stabilize the tool without requiring a separate pipe stand.
Forged Aluminum Die Heads – Lightweight die heads help reduce overall tool weight and improve portability.
ONE-KEY™ Technology – Enables tool tracking, inventory management, and remote lockout functions through the ONE-KEY™ system.
Variable-Speed Trigger – Provides control over the threading operation.
M18™ Battery Platform – Uses Milwaukee M18™ REDLITHIUM™ batteries.
Compact NPT Die Set Included – Comes with four forged-aluminum die heads for 1/2" through 1-1/4" NPT pipe.
Designed for Smaller Pipe Applications
The 2870-22 is specifically designed for applications involving smaller pipe sizes, with a stated capacity of 1/8" to 1-1/4". This makes it particularly useful for service work, repairs, installations, and jobs involving multiple smaller pipe connections.
It can thread materials including:
Black iron pipe
Stainless steel pipe
Rigid metal conduit (RMC)
Other compatible pipe materials
For applications requiring larger pipe sizes up to 2", Milwaukee offers its larger M18 FUEL™ Pipe Threader with ONE-KEY™, so the 2870-22 should not be confused with that higher-capacity model.
Lightweight Forged Aluminum Die Heads
One of the major advantages of this kit is its set of Compact ALLOY NPT forged aluminum die heads.
The included heads are designed for:
1/2" NPT – 48-36-1307
3/4" NPT – 48-36-1308
1" NPT – 48-36-1309
1-1/4" NPT – 48-36-1310
Milwaukee manufactures these compact die heads from forged aluminum and describes them as up to 50% lighter than competitive die heads. Larger slots provide improved visibility during threading, while the smooth face caps offer a more comfortable area for hand placement.
The die heads are also backed by Milwaukee's Limited Lifetime Warranty for the die head itself.
AUTOSTOP™ Kickback Control
Threading pipe can generate substantial torque, particularly when the die encounters resistance. The M18 FUEL™ Compact Pipe Threader incorporates AUTOSTOP™ technology, which is designed to sense severe kickback and automatically shut the tool down.
This provides an additional layer of protection during demanding threading operations and helps give the operator greater confidence when working with the tool.
Side-Grip Thread Starting
Starting a thread traditionally requires careful positioning around the rotating die head. Milwaukee's side-grip design provides an alternative starting method that eliminates the need to place a hand directly on the spinning die head.
Combined with the die-head retention system, this design helps improve control during thread starts.
Dedicated Support Arm
The included threading support arm helps resist the torque generated during threading and stabilizes the tool against the pipe.
Another advantage is that the support arm can eliminate the need for a separate pipe stand in suitable applications, making the system more convenient for service and repair work.
ONE-KEY™ Tool Management
The built-in ONE-KEY™ technology provides connected tool-management capabilities. Users can use the system to:
Track the tool's location
Manage it within an inventory
Help secure the tool
Remotely lock the tool out when needed
This can be particularly useful for contractors and businesses managing multiple tools across jobsites and service vehicles.
Cordless M18™ Convenience
The 2870-22 operates on Milwaukee's M18™ battery platform, eliminating the need for a power cord during threading operations.
For contractors already using M18™ tools, the shared battery system makes it easier to integrate the compact pipe threader into an existing cordless tool collection.
