Hose cutting pliers Cimco 101230 are designed for precise and reliable cutting of rubber and plastic hoses. The tool measures 240 mm in length and weighs approximately 392 g, providing a balance between control and cutting force. The black and red ergonomic handle offers a secure grip for repetitive use, while the blade geometry is optimized to produce clean, burr-free cuts suitable for automotive, plumbing and workshop tasks.

Advantages

The Cimco 101230 combines compact dimensions with sufficient leverage for cutting medium- to large-diameter hoses. Its handle design reduces hand fatigue during extended use and improves slip resistance in oily or wet conditions. The cutting edges are engineered to create smooth hose ends that simplify fitting and reduce the need for secondary trimming. Overall construction emphasizes durability for regular workshop use.

How to use

Position the hose cutting pliers so the hose sits fully between the blades at the desired cut point. Apply steady, even pressure on the handles until the blades pass through the hose, producing a single clean cut. For thicker hoses, maintain a firm grip and make the cut in a controlled motion to avoid crushing the hose end. After cutting, inspect the hose end for burrs and, if necessary, remove small irregularities with a utility blade or fine file before fitting clamps or connectors.

Usage recommendations

Use the pliers only on compatible rubber or plastic hoses and avoid cutting reinforced or metallic braided lines. Keep blades clean and, if recommended by maintenance practices, protect edges with light oil to prevent corrosion. Store the tool in a dry toolbox or on a pegboard to preserve the handle material and cutting performance.
