Tool storage case accessory Rothenberger 1000002682 – compatible accessory for tool organization

Set of Rothenberger pipe cutting tools combining the TC 42 pipe shears and the TC 35 pipe cutter in a single-piece set. The TC 42 provides manual shearing suitable for trimming pipe ends and making precise cuts on sheet-like sections or pipe roofs, while the TC 35 offers circumferential cutting for metal and plastic pipes. This compact combination is intended for on-site plumbing, HVAC and general installation tasks where both shearing and clean rotary cuts are needed for preparation and repair.

Advantages

The set brings together two complementary hand tools designed for reliable mechanical cutting: the shears deliver clean edge trimming and deformation-free cuts on thin-walled pipes and fittings, and the rotary cutter ensures smooth, square pipe ends with minimal burrs. Both tools are manual, require no power source, and are lightweight for easy transport. Designed by an established manufacturer, the tools match professional workshop and field requirements for durability and repeatable cutting performance.

Suitable for

• Plumbing pipe preparation and repair
• HVAC duct and pipe trimming
• Installation work on metal and plastic pipe systems
• On-site maintenance and service tasks requiring portable cutting tools

Key specifications

• Tool combination: manual pipe shears and manual pipe cutter
• Cutting methods: shearing and circumferential rotating cutting
• Materials suitable: metal pipes and plastic pipes
• Form factor: hand tools for portable on-site use
• Single-piece set including both tools

How to use

Select the appropriate tool for the required cut: use the TC 42 shears for trimming, slitting or removing small sections and for tasks that require sheared edges; use the TC 35 cutter for making full circumferential cuts that produce square ends. Position the pipe securely, mark the cut line, then operate the shears or rotate the cutter around the pipe according to usual safe hand-tool technique. Check the cut edge for burrs and deburr if necessary before fitting or joining.

Usage recommendations

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves and eye protection when cutting. Secure the pipe to prevent movement, inspect tools for wear prior to use, and follow standard maintenance such as cleaning and lubrication of moving parts to preserve cutting performance.
