FAQs

Plastic is sheared rather than scored. The blade closes through the wall in one action, so the cutter is bought on the largest diameter it closes around.

A large diameter cut by hand. The blade advances in stages rather than one squeeze, so 42mm is cut without the hand strength a single action would demand.

As much as diameter. Rigid PVC, flexible hose and vinyl behave differently under a blade, and a cutter built for rigid pipe crushes flexible hose rather than cutting it.

0 to 42mm on the ratchet PVC cutter, 6 to 25mm on the rubber hose and pipe cutter and 3 to 14mm on the hose cutter.

Because most plastic joints seal on the end face. A cut that is off square leaves the face bearing unevenly against the fitting, which is where the joint leaks.

Blades are the consumable on these cutters and are stated per tool, since a blunt blade crushes plastic rather than shearing it cleanly.

Plastic Pipe Cutting

Plastic is sheared rather than scored, which makes a plastic pipe cutter a completely different tool from a metal one. The blade closes through the wall in one action, so the cutter is bought on the largest diameter it will close around rather than on a range it rotates within. It also means the cutter is judged on its jaw opening rather than on a diameter range.

Ratchet action is what makes a large diameter possible by hand. The blade advances in stages rather than in one squeeze, so a 42mm pipe is cut without the hand strength that a single-action cutter would demand at that size. The ratchet also holds the position between strokes rather than releasing the pipe.

Material matters as much as diameter. Rigid PVC, flexible hose and vinyl all behave differently under a blade, and a cutter built for rigid pipe crushes flexible hose rather than cutting it. The material each cutter suits is stated rather than implied. Material suitability is stated per cutter rather than being a general capability of the type.

Capacity runs 0 to 42mm on the ratchet PVC cutter, 6 to 25mm on the rubber hose and pipe cutter and 3 to 14mm on the hose cutter. A clean square cut matters because most plastic joints seal on the end face. Send the pipe and material to 07754288583 on WhatsApp. Capacity is stated per cutter rather than being estimated from the handle length. A KNIPEX Twistcut cutter covers the same work with a different action on the same leaf.
