    Does anybody know where I can buy a pipe bevel tool that works with a cordless drill?

    I think what you are looking for was made by the GL Salzer company. I'm not sure if they are in business anymore, because a quick Google search didn't return a website. But, a few phone numbers.


    My personal preference: Battery angle grinder.

    Or, the cheaper version - power inverter and a $15 angle grinder from Harbor Freight.

    We have one that we picked up from Leibold Irrigation, they are local in our area but do installs country wide. May be worth a look or call. It was kind of pricey but saves a lot of time when working on a fix!!

    We had one but it didnt met our expectations, we have since gone with a 4" rechargable grinder

    R&R products has them, I think. They are expensive. I agree with the other guys a 4" cordless grinder works just as well or better.

    Rigid makes what they call a deburring tool for a couple different ranges of pipe size. If you take one of these and weld a 3/8"x 2.5" bolt to cone end of it, you can then stick the threaded end of the bolt into a 1/2" drill for a quick and easy pipe beveler.

    Precision sells this bevel tool in three different sizes. It easily connects directly to our cordless drill, but it is on the pricey side to get all three of them. We bought the middle sized one that handles pipe from 2"-4" and meets the majority of our needs. This was one of the first new things I looked into for our irrigation tools when I started here and is a huge time saver for repairs with a gasketed "knock-on" style repair fitting. The cutting blades are also removable so you can keep them sharp.
