Description
A pipe cutter is a tool used to cut pipes cleanly and accurately. It typically consists of a cutting wheel mounted on a frame with handles for manual operation. The cutting wheel is positioned around the pipe, and as the handles are squeezed together, the wheel rotates and gradually cuts through the pipe. Pipe cutters are commonly used in plumbing, HVAC, and other piping installations to cut pipes made of various materials such as copper, PVC, steel, and aluminum. They provide precise cuts without the need for additional finishing, ensuring smooth and professional-looking results. Pipe cutters come in different sizes and types to accommodate pipes of various diameters and materials, making them essential tools for pipefitting and installation tasks.
