Putkileikkuri cimco räikkämalli 120480 kupari- ja muoviputkille

The cimco ratchet-type pipe cutter model 120480 is a handheld cutting tool designed for clean, controlled cuts of copper and plastic pipes. Its ratchet mechanism enables incremental application of cutting force, allowing precise scoring and slicing of pipe walls without collapsing or deforming the tube. The compact body and ergonomic handle make it suitable for use in confined spaces common to plumbing and HVAC installations and repairs.

Advantages

The ratchet mechanism reduces required hand force and provides repeatable, even cutting action for copper and various plastic pipe materials. A replaceable cutting wheel maintains blade life and consistent cutting performance. The compact design improves access in tight installations, while the tool’s construction offers durability for regular professional use.

Suitable for

• Cutting copper water and heating pipes
• Trimming PVC, CPVC and other plastic plumbing pipes
• On-site plumbing installations and service repairs
• HVAC pipe cutting and retrofit work in confined areas

Key specifications

• Handheld ratchet-type cutting mechanism for controlled incremental cutting
• Suitable for copper and common plastic plumbing pipe materials
• Compact profile to access confined spaces
• Replaceable cutting wheel for extended tool life
• Ergonomic handle to improve grip during operation

How to use

Place the pipe cutter around the pipe at the desired cutting point, ensuring the cutting wheel aligns with the mark. Close the tool onto the pipe and operate the ratchet mechanism through successive strokes, tightening the wheel incrementally until the pipe is fully cut. Rotate the cutter around the pipe as needed to maintain a straight, even cut and replace the cutting wheel when signs of wear affect cutting quality.

Recommendations

Before cutting, verify pipe material and wall thickness to confirm suitability. Secure the pipe to prevent movement, deburr the cut edge after separation, and replace the cutting wheel regularly to ensure clean cuts. Use appropriate personal protective equipment and follow local safety practices when working with plumbing systems.
