    Multipurpose Pipe, Tube, and Hose Cutters

    Cut plastic and rubber pipe, tubing, and hose.
    For Cutting Tubing, Pipe, and Hose
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Pipe, Tube, and Hose Cutters. Multipurpose Pipe, Tube, and Hose Cutters.
    PTFE-Coated Steel Blade—Cutters with steel blades have a slippery PTFE coating that helps the blade smoothly cut soft plastic and rubber. However, it will scrape off if used on harder material such as PVC pipe.
    Stainless Steel Blade—Cutters with stainless steel blades stay sharp longer than coated blades when cutting hard material. Because they are uncoated, you’ll feel more resistance when cutting.
    Spring-Action Open—Spring-action cutters have jaws that open automatically when you release the handles.

    Style B

    Make quick, perpendicular cuts on flexible tubing and hose to reroute flow and add fittings.
    Style B—Styles B and C have a V-shaped blade that cleanly cuts through tubing and hose without flattening it. This creates a secure, leak-free connection point for fittings.

    Cordless Plastic Pipe Cutters

    Slice through thick plastic pipe up to 2” in diameter in only three seconds. These cutters are light enough to carry around and are good for up to 200 cuts on a single battery charge. Easy to use with one hand, they make perpendicular cuts with the pull of a trigger. The harder you press down on the trigger, the faster they cut. They don’t leave any burrs behind on your pipe, so you’ll have a clean edge to install a fitting. Since the blade is stainless steel and the jaw is aluminum, you don’t have to worry about rust when cutting through wet pipe.
    Unlike manual cutters, there’s no need to repeatedly make adjustments or rotate them around your pipe. This makes them good for confined spaces—they need less than half an inch of clearance to cut through a pipe installed near a wall.
    To prevent accidental cuts, you have to press a safety button as you pull the trigger. They also have a button that folds the blade into the head to keep it out of the way when not in use.
    The battery and charger are sold separately.

    Slice through duct hose and snip the spiral with a single tool. These cutters have a sharp tip to pierce the duct hose and a double-sided blade that cuts cleanly in either direction. The built-in wire cutter clips through wire reinforcements. Use them with flexible duct hose, including hose with fiberglass lining.

    Easy-Cut Multipurpose Cutters

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Multipurpose Cutters. Easy-Cut Multipurpose Cutters.
    Avoid tiring your hand while making repeated cuts in a variety of material—from plastic pipes to wood dowel pins. These cutters ratchet to increase leverage, so they don’t require as much effort to squeeze the handles as standard multipurpose cutters. They slice through leather, plastic, rubber, and wood and come with multiple anvils for different jobs, reducing the number of tools you need to keep on hand. Made of stainless steel, their blade resists rusting if rinsed with water or rained on.
    Swap out the anvils with the included L-key. For flat material, use the flat anvil. The 90° anvil stabilizes uneven material before you cut. For accurate cuts at precise angles, the miter angle anvil is notched at 15° from 45° to 120°. To stabilize pipes and tubes before cutting, use the anvils that match your tube OD.
