Pipe cutter / PVC pipe shears GEKO G01375 for plastic pipes 3–42 mm

GEKO G01375 pipe cutter / PVC pipe shears are a handheld cutting tool designed for trimming and cutting plastic pipes with diameters from 3 to 42 mm. The tool provides clean, precise cuts for PVC and other common plastic tubing used in plumbing, heating and installation work. Its compact design and manual operation make it suitable for on-site tasks where control and accuracy are required.

Advantages

The cutter delivers accurate, burr-free cuts that reduce the need for additional deburring. Its ergonomic handle and ratchet-style mechanism allow controlled cutting force with reduced hand fatigue. Constructed for repeated use on plastic materials, the tool offers consistent performance across the specified diameter range and is easy to store and transport to job sites.

Suitable for

• Cutting PVC, PE and other plastic pipes in plumbing and drainage installations
• On-site trimming of small-diameter tubing during repairs and renovations
• Preparing pipe ends for fittings, connectors and solvent welding
• HVAC maintenance tasks involving plastic condensate or drain lines

Key specifications

• Cutting range: 3–42 mm outer diameter
• Tool type: hand-operated pipe cutter / shears for plastic
• Blade type: hardened cutting blade suitable for plastic tubing
• Handle: ergonomic grip for manual operation and control
• Operation: ratchet-style or leverage mechanism for progressive cutting

How to use

Select the appropriate pipe section and mark the desired cutting point. Place the pipe into the cutter jaw so the blade aligns with the mark, then close the handles steadily, applying progressive pressure until the blade cuts through the pipe. For larger diameters within the 3–42 mm range, use multiple incremental squeezes rather than a single forceful action to maintain control and avoid deformation of the pipe. After cutting, inspect the end for burrs and remove any rough edges before joining or fitting.

Usage recommendations

The tool is intended for plastic pipes only; avoid cutting metal pipes or materials not specified for this cutter. Keep the blade clean and free of debris to maintain cutting quality. Store the cutter in a dry place and periodically check the blade condition, sharpening or replacing it if cuts become uneven.
