Pipe Cutter

Pipe cutters are tools used for cutting pipes, typically made of metal or plastic. They are commonly used in plumbing, construction, and other industries where pipes need to be cut to specific lengths.

In the supply class Hand Tools, the pipe cutter falls under the category of Edged tools, which means it has a sharp cutting edge. It is also classified as Nonpowered, indicating that it does not require any external power source to operate.

Pipe cutters are designed to make clean and precise cuts on pipes of various materials and sizes. They typically consist of a cutting wheel or blade that is rotated around the pipe, gradually cutting through it as the tool is tightened. Some pipe cutters may also have additional features such as a ratcheting mechanism or adjustable cutting depth.

When selecting a pipe cutter, it is important to consider the material and size of the pipe you will be working with, as different cutters are designed for specific applications. It is also essential to follow proper safety precautions, such as wearing protective gloves and eyewear, when using a pipe cutter to avoid any injuries.

Overall, pipe cutters are essential tools for professionals and DIY enthusiasts alike, providing a convenient and efficient way to cut pipes accurately and cleanly.
