One-hand ratcheting pipe cutter

The Capri Tools CP11290 ratcheting pipe cutter is built for plumbers and DIY users who need quick, clean cuts on plastic piping. Its true one-hand operation and non-return ratchet mechanism allow steady progress without repositioning the tool.

Cuts plastic pipe up to 1-5/8 in

The V-shaped high-carbon steel blade cleanly slices PVC, CPVC, PP, PE, PER, PEX, ABS, PEHD, PPR and PB tubing up to 1-5/8 inches outer diameter. A telescoping blade guard sheathes the edge until engaged, and a blade slider advances the cutter rapidly to the pipe wall.

Tool-less replaceable blade

When the edge dulls, the blade swaps out in seconds without extra tools, keeping downtime minimal. The all-aluminium body resists rust, and a locking latch secures the jaws for safe storage between jobs.

Questions about this item

Will the 1-5/8 in ratcheting pipe cutter handle the same PVC and PEX sizes as my older manual cutter?

It cuts PVC, CPVC, PP, PE, PER, PEX, ABS, PEHD, PPR and PB piping up to 1-5/8 in outer diameter, so it covers the same common plastic pipe sizes you already work with.

How do I know the non-return ratcheting mechanism is engaging properly on the first cut?

The blade slider moves the blade forward to meet the pipe instantly, and the ratchet clicks forward without slipping backward until you push the handle forward to release it.

Does the box include a spare high-carbon steel blade or do I need to order one separately?

The cutter comes with the installed V-shaped high-carbon steel blade; replacement blades are sold separately and can be swapped without tools.
