Steelman 42565 2-1/2 Inch Jaw Ratcheting Pipe Cutters

Steelman 42565 Ratcheting Pipe Cutters

The Steelman 42565 ratcheting pipe cutters are built for plumbers and irrigation installers who need clean cuts on plastic piping. A hardened stainless steel blade slices through material with a progressive ratchet action that works comfortably in one hand. The tool handles ABS, PEX, PVC and PP pipe up to 25 inches outer diameter. A safety latch locks the blade closed for secure storage and transport.

Thermals Noise and Power Draw

As a manual hand tool, the cutters generate no heat, produce no operational noise and draw no electrical power during use. Cutting force comes entirely from the user squeezing the handles to engage the ratchet mechanism. There are no motors, batteries or cooling requirements to consider. Performance depends only on blade sharpness and the operator's applied effort.

Maximum 25 Inch Cutting Capacity

The single specification that determines suitability is the 25 inch maximum outer diameter capacity for plastic pipe and tubing. If your project requires cutting larger diameter materials, this cutter cannot meet that need. Buyers who need more capacity must select a different tool designed for bigger pipe sizes.
