Pipe Cutter AWTools AW31490BL for PVC Pipes up to 35 mm, AWTools

The AWTools AW31490BL pipe cutter is a handheld tool designed for cutting PVC pipes and similar plastic tubing up to 35 mm in outer diameter. It delivers clean, straight cuts required for plumbing, irrigation and small repair tasks. The lightweight construction and simple ratchet-style mechanism make it suitable for on-site use and quick preparation of pipe ends prior to joining or adhesive application.

Advantages

The cutter produces accurate, burr-free cuts that reduce deburring time and improve joint fit. Its compact, ergonomic body is easy to hold and operate with one hand, which speeds up repetitive work. The blade mechanism is designed to apply consistent pressure across the pipe circumference for straight cuts, and the tool’s size makes it convenient to carry in a toolbox or pocket for mobile tasks.

Suitable for

• Cutting PVC conduit and plumbing pipes up to 35 mm diameter
• Irrigation tubing and garden hose preparation
• Small plumbing repairs and DIY installation work
• Shop and on-site pipe preparation where a manual cutter is preferred

When it may not be suitable

This pipe cutter is intended specifically for plastic pipes up to 35 mm in diameter; it is not designed for cutting metal pipes, thick-walled PVC larger than the specified diameter, or other hard materials. For larger-diameter pipes or industrial-scale cutting operations, a larger specialized cutter or powered saw will be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Maximum pipe diameter: up to 35 mm
• Material compatibility: PVC and similar plastic tubing
• Tool type: handheld, ratchet-style pipe cutter
• Operation: one-handed manual cutting
• Typical applications: plumbing, irrigation, DIY repairs

How to use

Place the pipe into the cutter’s opening and align the mark where the cut is required. Squeeze the handles to advance the blade around the pipe; if the cutter uses a ratchet action, operate the handle repeatedly until the blade completes the cut. Release the handle and remove the cut pipe, then inspect the end for any small burrs and remove them if necessary before joining or adhesive application.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the maximum pipe diameter you need to cut does not exceed 35 mm
• Verify that the pipes are plastic (PVC or similar) rather than metal
• Consider whether a one-handed manual cutter meets the volume and speed requirements of your tasks
• Check availability of replacement blades or service options if frequent use is expected

Usage recommendations

Use a firm, steady grip and make incremental squeezes if the cutter has a ratchet mechanism; inspect and, if needed, deburr pipe ends after cutting to ensure proper seals and fittings. Store the cutter in a dry place to prevent corrosion of the blade and maintain cutting performance.
