The DEWALT DCE154 20V MAX XR 1-1/4″ Copper Tubing Cutter (DW-DCE154B) is built for tradespeople who need precision, speed, and durability on the job. Whether you’re installing plumbing systems or working on HVACR lines, this cordless cutter eliminates the hassle of manual cutters and delivers up to 550 clean, consistent cuts per charge. With an auto-size adjust mechanism, it handles copper tubing from 1/4″ to 1-1/4″ without swapping cutting wheels, and yes, that includes 3/8″ outer diameter tubing common in HVAC applications.

One of the standout features is the innovative pivoting head, allowing for 90° rotation. This makes tight-space cuts easier than ever, especially when working in crawlspaces, above ceiling grids, or behind equipment. Unlike traditional cutters that require clearance around the pipe, this tool’s compact design and rotating head give you more freedom to work efficiently in confined spaces. The DCE154 also features a variable speed trigger to give you full control during every cut, making it a strong fit for both seasoned plumbers and newer techs looking to up their game.

Durability matters on a jobsite, and DEWALT knows it. The DCE154’s cutting mechanism is built with corrosion-resistant components that are engineered for long-lasting use in challenging environments. It also includes an integrated LED light to help illuminate dark or recessed areas, with an on/off switch for power conservation. You’ll also find TOOL CONNECT CHIP READY functionality built in (chip sold separately), enabling tool tracking and inventory management through DEWALT’s Site Manager app.

Performance-wise, this tool is unmatched in its class. It’s capable of cutting copper tubing in as little as 1.2 seconds when paired with the DCBP034 PowerStack battery, according to DEWALT’s own data. Compared to the popular Milwaukee M12 2471-20 copper cutter, the DCE154 not only cuts faster but also requires up to 46% less clearance, making it an excellent choice for professionals who deal with high-volume or hard-to-reach cuts.

Sold as a bare tool (DW-DCE154B) or in a complete kit with a battery, charger, and replacement wheels (DW-DCE154E1), it offers options for different needs and budgets. Replacement cutting wheels are available separately, ensuring the tool stays sharp and ready for years of use.

Designed as part of DEWALT’s high-performance 20V MAX XR platform, the DCE154 is backed by a 3-year limited warranty, 1 year of free service, and a 90-day satisfaction guarantee. It’s not just another cordless cutter, it’s a timesaving, pro-grade solution built for the demands of modern mechanical work.

For contractors, service techs, and installers who cut copper pipe day in and day out, the DEWALT DCE154 delivers where it counts, speed, control, and professional-grade results without compromise.
