3/8" to 1 1/8" Tube Cutter -

The Model 70029 Tube Cutter is engineered for professional technicians requiring precise, clean cuts on copper and other soft metal tubing in demanding environments. Its compact, low-profile design allows for optimal access and maneuverability in confined spaces, ensuring the integrity of connections critical for automotive, HVAC/R, and plumbing systems. This robust tool delivers consistent, burr-free cuts essential for proper sealing and long-term joint reliability.

Key Features

• Broad Cutting Capacity: Handles tubing from 3/8" to 1 1/8" in diameter, offering versatile functionality for common automotive, HVAC/R, and plumbing applications without the need for multiple specialized tools.
• Compact, Low-Profile Design: Facilitates easy access and operation in challenging, confined areas such as tight engine bays, behind equipment racks, or within wall cavities.
• Durable Professional Construction: Built for consistent daily use in rigorous shop and fieldwork settings, maintaining cutting accuracy and reliability over time.
• Controlled, Ergonomic Adjustment: Features a knurled adjustment knob and a shaped body for a secure, comfortable grip, enabling technicians to apply steady, precise pressure for clean, square cuts.
• Clean, Square Cuts: Engineered to produce minimal burring and prevent out-of-round tubing, which is crucial for optimal flaring, brazing, and ensuring leak-free connections.

Applications

• Automotive: Ideal for cutting small-diameter copper or soft-metal lines in fuel, transmission cooler, and A/C systems during vehicle repair, retrofit, or line replacement on cars, light trucks, and fleet vehicles.
• HVAC/R: Essential for preparing refrigeration and air conditioning tubing for flares, braze joints, and fittings on both residential and light commercial systems.
• Plumbing: Suitable for trimming copper and similar soft-metal pipe within confined spaces such as tight wall cavities, under sinks, and in crowded mechanical rooms.
• General Fabrication: Produces accurate tube lengths for custom assemblies, jigs, fixtures, and prototypes in various shop environments.
