A strong, sturdy construction allows the TEKTON 6461 Quick Adjust Tubing Cutter to take on plumbing projects time and time again. Strength and durability come from the rugged cast aluminum frame and hardened alloy steel cutting wheel. A single spring-loaded quick-release mechanism effortlessly moves the sliding screw feed arm, adjusting the jaw to the size of the tubing instantly. The large ridged knob is used to then make smaller, precise adjustments of cutting pressure. The groove in the guide rollers accommodates a flared pipe end, ensuring square cuts through copper, brass, aluminum, thin-wall steel, and plastic - even if cutting close to the end of the pipe. To complete the cutting process and deburr the tubing, this tool has a retractable reamer blade.
