Description
Designed for efficiency and portability, this compact, non-ratcheting cutter allows for fast and repetitive cuts on a wide range of flexible plastic pipework up to 28mm in diameter. Its hard-wearing nylon body ensures durability while maintaining a lightweight profile, making it ideal for prolonged on-site use. The high-performance 53 HRC steel blade delivers clean, precise cuts with minimal effort. A built-in locking mechanism keeps the blade safely retracted when not in use, offering added security during storage or transport.
Pointed blade:
A key feature is its pointed blade design, which concentrates cutting force onto a smaller surface area compared to traditional straight blades. This results in smoother penetration and cleaner starts, particularly useful when working with tougher or more flexible pipe materials. It also helps minimise pipe distortion during cutting, ensuring a neater finish and a more secure fit during installation.
Why use Non-Ratcheting?
Unlike ratcheting cutters, which require multiple squeezes to complete a cut, a non-ratcheting design offers a quicker, single-action cutting process. This makes it ideal for repetitive tasks where speed and efficiency are essential. With fewer moving parts, non-ratcheting cutters are also generally lighter, more compact, and require less maintenance - making them a reliable choice for installers working in tight or awkward spaces.
