Compact Metal Tube and Conduit Cutters

Cutter

Cutter with Autofeed Wheel

A small swing radius lets you cut tubing in tight spaces. All have an enclosed adjustment screw to prevent damage from chips and debris.

Cutters with grooved rollers give clearance for cutting flared tube ends with little material loss.

Tighten the knob just once on cutters with an autofeed cutter wheel, and the wheel will automatically cut through the rest of the tubing.

Attach ratchet handles to cutters to control tube cutting in 10-degree increments. Use them to make precise cuts, even in tight spaces where hands don’t fit comfortably.

Cordless Copper Tube Cutters

Cut through copper tubes up to 10 times faster and with less effort than manual tube cutters. These cutters are light enough to carry around, easy to use with one hand, and are good for up to 200 cuts on a single battery charge. Use them to make perpendicular cuts, so you can easily add fittings. Unlike manual cutters, you don’t need to spin them around your tube to cut all the way through. When you pull the trigger, the cutting wheel rotates around your tube, cutting and scoring as it moves. This makes them good for confined spaces—they only need 1 1/2" of clearance to cut through a tube installed near a wall or another tube.

An LED illuminates what you’re cutting in dim and dark areas. To prevent accidental cuts, you can lock the trigger when the cutter is not in use. The cutting wheel has a black-oxide coating to resist corroding in dry environments.
