Key Features & Standards
-
Ratcheting Power System: High-leverage ratchet mechanism increases cutting force automatically with every squeeze, allowing easy one-handed cutting through thick-walled pipes.
-
42mm Outer Diameter Capacity: Cuts standard plastic plumbing, irrigation, and electrical conduit pipes up to 42 mm in diameter.
-
Clean Burr-Free Cuts: V-shaped/pointed precision blade pierces and cuts smoothly without fracturing, crushing, or leaving plastic burrs.
-
Handle Safety Lock: Integrated latch keeps handles compressed and blade safely enclosed during storage and transport.
⚠️ Safety Warning: High-sharpness cutting blade—keep hands and fingers completely away from the jaw opening while squeezing handles. Do not use on metallic pipes (steel, iron, copper) or electrical wire cables, as this will chip or ruin the blade. Wear ANSI-approved eye protection during cutting.
