Portable Rollery Type Copper Pipe Tube Cutter

Key Features

1. Handles a decent mix of pipe sizes

The jaw opening takes anything from a tiny 1/8" (3mm) line up to a 3/4" (19mm) pipe. It's a handy range because you can pull the same tool out for small household plumbing fixes or swap over to mid-sized commercial lines without having to carry three different sized cutters in your pouch.

2. Tough casing that isn't heavy

We cast the main body out of solid zinc alloy so it won't snap if it rattles around with heavy pipe wrenches. Zinc keeps the frame relatively light so it won't drag your tool belt down, and it handles outdoor mud, rain, or damp basements without starting to rust.

3. Straight cuts without the chatter

The rollers are aligned properly to keep the pipe from tracking sideways while you spin it. This setup cuts down on friction, which stops the tracking wheel from drifting off line and ensures you get a clean, square edge instead of a spiral cut that you have to re-do.

4. Sharp alloy steel wheel

The cutting wheel is machined from hardened alloy steel. It holds its edge nicely against stubborn metal walls, meaning you can slice through a bunch of joints back-to-back before you have to worry about the blade going dull or chewing up the copper.

5. Chunky, grippy knob

Cranking down on the feed screw shouldn't tear up your fingers. The tightening handle is shaped to give your thumb and index finger a solid purchase, making it way easier to feed the blade in smoothly when your hands are slick with oil or sweat.

6. Easy to tuck away

It's got a small, low-profile footprint. You can easily slip it into your front pocket or drop it into a tight slot in your tool bag, so it's always right there when you crawl into a cramped space to fix a line.

Applications

• Plumbing setups: Great for slicing through water supply lines during a copper repipe or tracking down a leak behind a wall. It leaves a clean edge that is ready for flux and solder.
• AC and Heating loops: Handy for trimming down soft aluminum lines or thin-walled tubing on condenser sets without crushing the pipe profile.
• Running wire conduits: It works just fine on thin PVC conduit pipes too, giving you a quick snap without leaving a pile of plastic shavings all over the customer's floor.
• Garage and Brake lines: Small enough to fit under a car chassis to cut out bad sections of small metal lines during an automotive repair job.
