Milwaukee M18 FUEL Pipe Threader with ONE-KEY – Bare Tool
Product Overview
The Milwaukee M18 FUEL Pipe Threader with ONE-KEY (2874-20) is a cordless pipe-threading tool designed for professional plumbing, mechanical, electrical, and industrial applications. It provides the portability of the M18 battery platform while handling pipe and rigid metal conduit from 1/8" to 2".
Powered by a POWERSTATE Brushless Motor, the threader combines a multi-speed selector, variable-speed trigger, and offset die-head design to provide controlled threading across different pipe sizes. It also features AUTOSTOP Kickback Control and a die-head retention lock to help improve operator control during use.
This is the bare-tool version, so the M18 battery, charger, and threading dies are purchased separately. The package does include a threading support arm and carrying case.
Key Features
1/8" to 2" Threading Capacity
The 2874-20 is designed for threading pipe sizes from 1/8" through 2", making it suitable for a broad range of professional plumbing and mechanical applications. Milwaukee specifies the tool for black iron pipe, stainless steel, and rigid metal conduit.
POWERSTATE Brushless Motor
The POWERSTATE Brushless Motor provides the power required for demanding pipe-threading work while eliminating the need for a corded power source. Milwaukee states that the tool can produce more than 25 threads on 2" pipe per charge under its specified testing conditions when paired with an appropriate M18 battery. Actual results will vary with pipe material, size, battery, die condition, and operating technique.
AUTOSTOP Kickback Control
AUTOSTOP technology is designed to detect severe kickback and automatically shut the tool down. This provides an additional layer of protection when the threader encounters a significant binding or kickback condition.
Side-Grip Thread Starts
The side-grip design allows the operator to start threads without placing a hand directly on the rotating die head. This helps provide better control during the initial engagement of the die with the pipe.
Die-Head Retention Lock
A built-in retention lock helps secure the die head during operation and is designed to help prevent unwanted die-head ejection.
Multi-Speed Selector
The multi-speed selector lets users adjust the operating speed according to the pipe size and threading application. Milwaukee designed the system to help optimize thread quality across different pipe sizes.
Offset Die Head
The offset die-head configuration allows the threader to work closer to pipe bends and walls. This can be especially useful when working in confined mechanical rooms, service areas, and installation spaces.
Dedicated Threading Support Arm
The included support arm helps stabilize the tool during threading. Milwaukee states that the dedicated support arm enables threading without the need for a separate pipe stand in suitable applications.
ONE-KEY Technology
ONE-KEY provides digital tool-management capabilities such as tool tracking, inventory management, and remote tool lockout. This can be useful for contractors and businesses managing tools across multiple jobsites.
Compatible Die Heads
The 2874-20 is compatible with RIDGID 12-R and Reed R12+ die heads. It can also be used with compatible Milwaukee pipe-threading die heads and accessories.
Milwaukee offers forged-aluminum NPT die heads in different sizes for this threader, including 3/4", 1", 1-1/4", and 2" options. The die heads are available separately.
Important: The 2874-20 bare tool does not include a complete set of threading dies or die heads.

Recommended Applications
The Milwaukee M18 FUEL Pipe Threader is suitable for:
Plumbing installation
Pipe repair and service
Mechanical contracting
Black iron pipe threading
Stainless steel pipe threading
Rigid metal conduit work
HVAC installation and maintenance
Industrial maintenance
Commercial construction
Electrical conduit installation
Its cordless design is particularly useful when pipe-threading work needs to be performed away from a conventional corded threading machine.
Portable Cordless Design
The 2874-20 eliminates the need to bring a corded power source directly to the threading location. Its reinforced magnesium carry handle provides a dedicated way to transport the tool, while the included support arm helps stabilize it during operation.
At 22.3 lb tool-only, this is a substantial professional-grade machine rather than a lightweight handheld tool. Its larger size is balanced by its ability to handle pipe up to 2" and operate from the M18 battery system.
M18 Battery Compatibility
The 2874-20 operates on Milwaukee M18 batteries, allowing users who already have M18 equipment to add the pipe threader without moving to a separate battery platform.
For demanding applications, Milwaukee's M18 HIGH OUTPUT battery packs can be used with the tool. The bare-tool package does not include a battery, allowing existing M18 users to select a battery that fits their workload.
Bare Tool vs. Kit
It is important to distinguish the 2874-20 bare tool from the 2874-22HD kit.
| Feature | 2874-20 Bare Tool | 2874-22HD Kit |
|---|---|---|
| M18 FUEL Pipe Threader | ✓ | ✓ |
| Threading Support Arm | ✓ | ✓ |
| Carrying Case | ✓ | ✓ |
| M18 HIGH OUTPUT HD12.0 Batteries | — | 2 |
| Rapid Charger | — | ✓ |
| Threading Dies | — | — |
The 2874-22HD adds two M18 HIGH OUTPUT HD12.0 batteries and an M18 & M12 Rapid Charger, but the standard kit still does not include a complete set of threading die heads.
Important Product Note
The 2874-20 is the full-size M18 FUEL Pipe Threader with a 1/8"–2" capacity. It should not be confused with the newer 2870-22 M18 FUEL Compact Pipe Threader, which is designed for smaller pipe sizes up to 1-1/4".
Why Choose the Milwaukee 2874-20?
The 2874-20 is a practical choice for professionals who need the capacity of a full-size pipe threader but want the freedom of cordless operation. Its combination of 2-inch threading capacity, POWERSTATE Brushless Motor, AUTOSTOP Kickback Control, side-grip thread starts, multi-speed control, and ONE-KEY connectivity gives it a feature set suited to demanding jobsite environments.
The bare-tool configuration is also useful for contractors who already own M18 batteries and chargers, allowing them to purchase the threader without paying for additional battery packs.
Summary
The Milwaukee M18 FUEL Pipe Threader with ONE-KEY 2874-20 is a professional cordless pipe-threading solution designed for pipe and rigid metal conduit from 1/8" to 2". Its POWERSTATE Brushless Motor provides the required power, while AUTOSTOP, side-grip thread starts, a die-head retention lock, and multi-speed control help improve control during threading.
The bare-tool package includes the threader, support arm, and carrying case, while the M18 battery, charger, and threading dies are sold separately. For professionals already invested in the M18 platform, the 2874-20 offers a portable way to add full-size pipe-threading capability to their existing cordless tool collection.
