Superior Tool's® 1-inch Ratcheting PVC Cutter is an ideal tool for fast and clean cuts on hose, plastic tubing, and PVC Schedule 40 pipe up to 1 inch. Its ratcheting one-handed operation allows you to use the other hand to hold the workpiece. The easily replaceable steel blade ensures a smooth and effortless cut, leaving a burr-free finish. There's a locking clasp to keep the cutter closed when not in use, and replacement blades are available. It's great for both DIY enthusiasts and professional users. It can cut 1-inch nominal PVC pipe or 1-5/8-inch O.D. The one-handed design with ratcheting action, diecast lightweight aluminum handles, and a durable powder-coated finish make it easy to clean and long-lasting. The hardened steel blade with a pointed edge can pierce the pipe without leaving burrs. The closure clip securely holds the tool shut when not in use. The replacement blade (Part 42775) is sold separately.
Using this 1-inch ratcheting PVC cutter is a breeze. First, open the cutter by releasing the closure clip. Then, place the pipe or hose you want to cut between the blades. With one hand, use the ratcheting action to gradually close the cutter around the material until it cuts through. It's designed for one-handed use, so you can hold the work steady with your other hand. When you're done, use the closure clip to keep the cutter shut. Be careful not to over-tighten the ratchet as it might damage the blade. For maintenance, wipe the cutter clean after each use to keep the powder-coated finish in good condition. If the blade gets dull, you can easily replace it with a new one (Part 42775), which is sold separately.
