Overview
Cutting tubing on site is the job of this Imperial tool, which lists a wall thickness range and an outside diameter. It is built from aluminum and steel.
Published limits on wall thickness and diameter make it easy to check against the job before ordering. The limitation is the bare listing: the title range is cut off, and blade and replacement wheel details are missing.
Who it's for
Installers and maintenance staff working on tubing runs in tight spaces will like a short hand tool. Large-diameter pipe needs a different cutter.
Pros and cons
- Wall thickness range stated
- Outside diameter limit stated
- Aluminum and steel body
- Compact hand tool
- Tube materials not named
- Blade and wheel details missing
- Weight entry is a data error
Performance notes
A tube cutter scores the tube as it rotates, so a clean cut depends on holding the tool square and feeding it in gradually. The wall thickness and outside diameter limits define the work it can take, and exceeding them risks a poor cut or a damaged wheel.
