• Cutting plastic pipes (PVC, PEX and similar thin-walled plastics)
• Cutting thin-walled metal pipes used in HVAC and light plumbing
• On-site plumbing repairs and installations in confined spaces
• Workshop tasks where manual, precise pipe cutting is needed

Key specifications

• Manual hand-operated pipe cutter (pipe scissors) design
• Stainless steel cutting blades
• Stainless steel body for enhanced corrosion resistance
• Compact, box-packed format suitable for storage and transport
• Designed for cutting plastic and thin-walled metal pipes

How to use

Place the pipe into the cutter’s blade opening at the desired cutting point and apply steady pressure while closing the handles to engage the blades. Rotate the cutter around the pipe as needed to achieve a clean, straight cut, maintaining even pressure to avoid crushing the pipe. After cutting, inspect the pipe end and remove any burrs before joining or fitting. Clean and dry the cutter after use to maintain blade condition.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves and eye protection when cutting. Select this manual pipe cutter for routine plumbing and HVAC tasks involving plastic or thin-walled metal pipes; for thicker or hard metal pipes, use a tool rated for those materials. Store the cutter in a dry place to preserve the stainless steel surfaces.
