Tube Cutter Proline 17213 telescopic for pipes Ø6–42 mm

Tube Cutter Proline 17213 telescopic for pipes Ø6–42 mm is a compact hand tool designed to make straight, controlled cuts on metal and plastic pipes with diameters from 6 to 42 mm. The telescopic body enables adjustable reach to suit different pipe positions and provides stable clamping for consistent results. The cutter is suitable for use in plumbing, HVAC and general pipe installation and maintenance where accurate, burr-free cuts are required.

Advantages

The telescopic design offers variable length for working in confined spaces and improved leverage. Hardened cutting wheel and adjustable pressure ensure clean, round cuts on copper, aluminium, steel and common plastic pipe materials. Ergonomic handles and a secure clamping mechanism reduce slippage and help maintain alignment during rotation. Lightweight construction makes the tool easy to carry and use for extended periods.

Suitable for

• Cutting copper plumbing pipes
• Trimming plastic (PVC, CPVC, PEX) tubing to length
• On-site HVAC pipe installations and repairs
• Tight-space pipe work where adjustable reach is needed

Key specifications

• Pipe diameter range: 6–42 mm
• Telescopic adjustable body for variable reach
• Hardened cutting wheel for durability
• Secure clamping mechanism for stable cutting
• Suitable for metal and plastic pipes
• Compact and lightweight hand tool design

How to use

Position the cutter around the pipe at the desired cutting point and extend the telescopic body as needed to achieve a comfortable working position. Tighten the clamping mechanism so the cutting wheel lightly contacts the pipe, then rotate the tool around the pipe while gradually increasing pressure until the pipe is cut through. After cutting, inspect the edge and remove burrs or sharp edges with a deburring tool or file if required.

Usage recommendations

For best results, secure the pipe to prevent movement during cutting, use steady, even rotations and avoid excessive force that can deform softer plastics. Periodically inspect the cutting wheel for wear and replace it if cuts become rough. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment when cutting metal pipes.
