KNIPEX Tools Offers New Pipe Cutters

January 28, 2021

KNIPEX Tools introduced two Pipe Cutters, one for plastic composite pipes (90 25 185) and one for multilayer and pneumatic hoses (90 10 185).

The Pipe Cutter for plastic composite pipe cleanly cuts both aluminum composite and plastic pipes 1/2″ to 1″ in diameter. The blade of the Pipe Cutter is designed to produce clean, smooth and burr-free cut surfaces.

The Pipe Cutter for multilayer and pneumatic hoses is ideal for all liquid, multilayer and pneumatic hoses 3/16″ to 3/4″ in diameter. A wide hose support base keeps the hose at a perfect right angle in relation to the blade for clean and even cuts.

Both Pipe Cutters are 7 1/4″ in length and feature an opening spring and locking device for repetitive cutting, as well as handles made from fiberglass-reinforced plastic. The blades of the Pipe Cutters are easily replaceable and made from high-strength special grade steel that is oil-hardened and tempered to provide clean and smooth cuts with each use.

“KNIPEX’s cutting tools have earned a strong reputation over the years for their ability to make clean easy cuts, job after job,” said Peter A. Grable, product manager, KNIPEX Tools. “We are excited to bring that exceptional cutting technology to an even broader range of materials with the release of these new Pipe Cutters.”

Note: Both Pipe Cutters are not suitable for cutting cables.
