A Mini Pipe Cutter with a 3–22mm Cutting Diameter, Zinc Alloy Body and Cutting Wheel, 51mm Length, for Copper, Brass and Aluminium Tubing in Tight Spaces — Plumbing, Automotive and Electrical Applications

Cut copper, brass and aluminium tubing cleanly in confined and hard-to-reach spaces with this compact pipe cutter, 51mm in overall length. The cutting diameter range of 3–22mm (1/8” to approximately 7/8” OD) covers the small-bore tubing sizes commonly encountered in domestic plumbing, automotive fuel and brake lines, and electrical conduit work where a standard full-size pipe cutter cannot be positioned due to the clearance required to rotate it around the pipe. The zinc alloy body and alloy steel cutting wheel provide sufficient hardness for repeated cuts through copper, brass and aluminium without the wheel face deforming or the cutter body flexing during the cutting stroke. Operation is by progressive tightening of the feed screw against the pipe while rotating the cutter around the tube, scoring a clean, square cut without the pipe collapse, burring or angled cuts associated with hacksaw or angle grinder work on small-diameter tubing. Weight: 250g. SKU: 1088.

Why You’ll Love It

• 51mm body length fits into tight spaces where a full-size pipe cutter cannot be positioned — The pipe cutter’s 51mm overall length allows it to be used in confined locations — inside kitchen and bathroom cabinets, within automotive engine bays, in ceiling voids and behind panels — where the clearance required to swing a standard pipe cutter through a full rotation around the pipe is not available, and where the only alternative would be a hacksaw that requires an angled approach and produces a rougher, less square cut face that needs dressing before fitting a push-fit or compression fitting.
• 3–22mm diameter range covers the small-bore tubing sizes most commonly found in plumbing, automotive and electrical work — The pipe cutter’s 3–22mm capacity covers 15mm and 22mm copper pipe (the two most common sizes in UK domestic plumbing), as well as the smaller-diameter copper and brass tubing used in automotive fuel, brake and refrigeration lines, and the thin-wall aluminium conduit used in some electrical installations — making a single compact tool applicable across several trade and DIY contexts without needing a separate cutter for each diameter range.
• Alloy steel cutting wheel produces a clean, square cut face without pipe collapse or burring — The pipe cutter’s alloy steel cutting wheel scores the tube progressively around its full circumference by tightening the feed screw incrementally with each rotation — producing a square, clean-edged cut face that accepts compression fittings and push-fit connectors without requiring the pipe end to be filed or deburred before fitting, and without the oval deformation or crushed profile that results from using blunt or inappropriate cutting tools on thin-wall copper or brass tubing.

Warning: For cutting copper, brass and aluminium tubing only — do not attempt to cut steel, iron or hardened materials with this tool. Always wear appropriate eye protection when cutting tubing. Keep fingers clear of the cutting wheel during use. Inspect the cutting wheel and feed screw for wear or damage before each use — do not use if the wheel is chipped or the screw mechanism is damaged. Keep out of reach of children. Tighten the feed screw progressively in small increments per rotation — do not overtighten, as this may deform thin-wall tubing before a complete cut is achieved.
