COPPER TUBING CUTTER FOR TIGHT SPACES
Don’t have enough swing room for full-size copper tubing cutters? The AutoCut from General Pipe Cleaners slices copper tubing in tight spots – even with less than 1 inch of clearance from a wall when doing stub-out work. The compact AutoCut™ fits in the palm of your hand. It’s also quicker than conventional cutters. Just snap it onto the tube, close the gate and turn. The hardened steel cutting wheel automatically tightens as you twist with no knobs to turn. The product is available in 1/2-, 3/4- and 1-inch sizes. It cuts more cleanly, too. The spring-loaded cutting wheel provides constant pressure, so you’ll never accidentally crimp the tubing. When there’s not enough room around the tube for your hand, the optional Ratchet Turning Handle for the 1/2- and 3/4 -inch models gives you extra leverage.
