LDR Industries 511 5151 PVC Pipe Cutter, 1/2" x 1"

The LDR PVC PIPE CUTTER is your ultimate nonmetal pipe cutter. The LDR PVC cutters feature a ratchet motion operating system which provides continuous pressure with minimal motion and effort, ensuring a clean, smooth, and even cut. There is no need to rotate the PVC cutter, preventing an uneven cut. Once the pipe is placed in the jaw and you lock around the pipe, the blade will remain where you want it and not move from the correct position. As you begin cutting through the pipe the ratchet will compound the pressure from the multiple hand squeezes onto the blade reducing the amount of pressure that you need to apply for each squeeze. The latches in the mechanism are spaced that you do not have to extenuously stretch your hand when you flex the handle to give multiple squeezes. The result of the ratchet motion and sharp blade will be an accurate, even, square cut with no burrs. The smooth, straight burr free cut will ensure that all sides of the pipe will have an even, clean, and adequate glue overlap around the whole circumference of the pipe. This will ensure that the fitting can be glued properly preventing the fitting from blowing off once it is glued in place. This versatile ratchet action pipe cutter cuts through PVC pipe as well as, CPVC, PEX, polybutylene, polyethylene, rubber hose, vinyl, synthetic tubing and most non-metallic tubing. It is suitable for pluming piping, auto piping, tubing, garden hoses as well as most nonmetallic hoses and pipes. The LDR PVC pipe and hose cutter is constructed with a solid Aluminum frame, strong metal pivots, and a steel blade, providing many years of reliable use. The Easy-turn thumb latch allows for reliable safe storage. Make it yours today! Specifications: Suitable for ½ inch -1 inch pipes and tubing.
