Pipecutter Knipex 90 25 185

The Knipex 90 25 185 manual pipecutter is engineered for accurate, clean cutting of small-diameter pipes and tubing. Constructed from durable steel with a plastic handle, this compact tool combines robustness with user comfort. At 185 mm length and weighing approximately 175 g, the cutter is lightweight and manoeuvrable for both professional plumbing tasks and domestic DIY projects, delivering reliable results on copper, brass and similar soft metal pipes.

Advantages

The compact design provides good access in confined spaces while the hardened steel cutting wheel maintains sharpness and ensures consistent cutting performance. The plastic handle offers a secure, comfortable grip during repeated use. Low weight and ergonomic dimensions reduce user fatigue and improve control for precise, burr‑free cuts. The tool’s simple mechanical action requires no power source, making it portable and ready for on-site work.

• Cutting copper and brass tubing for plumbing installations
• Preparing pipes for fittings and soldering
• Home repair and DIY plumbing tasks
• HVAC maintenance where small-diameter tube cutting is required

Key specifications

• Overall length: 185 mm
• Net weight: approx. 175 g
• Material: steel body with plastic handle
• Cutting type: manual rotary cutting wheel for small-diameter pipes

How to use

Place the pipe between the cutting wheel and the support rollers, then tighten the tool until the wheel lightly contacts the pipe surface. Rotate the cutter around the pipe while gradually tightening until the pipe is fully cut through. Keep steady pressure and avoid over-tightening to prevent deformation. After cutting, deburr the edge if necessary to prepare the pipe for fitting or soldering.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the cutting wheel before use and replace the tool if the wheel shows significant wear. Use the cutter on recommended materials only; avoid cutting hardened steel or other unsuitable materials. Wear appropriate hand protection and eye protection when cutting, and deburr cut edges before installing fittings.
