Superior Tool 37516 Pipe Cutter, Grey/Black

Product Information

A radial encoder gives real-time readout in degrees of progress through the cutting operation. The cutting head is extended by a pre-charged accumulator, allowing it to ride over seam-welds or non-conformities without any risk of damage to the manipulator assembly. Once the blade is inserted, connect the power source to the drill, and place the blade into the pipe you are looking to cut. Fraser, a licensed plumber, got frustrated there was no fast and safe way to cut plastic pipes in hard to reach places. Existing work-practices to cut these pipes involved the use of an angle grinder, often with the guard removed to gain access to the inside of the pipe held within the concrete flooring. In addition, often digging around the outside of the pipe was required to get the pipe cut at the right height, very slow and potentially dangerous work.

When this generic tool got jammed, there was no choice but to just leave it. He had dreamed of a solution for this problem for years. One day Fraser was working on a project when the tool jammed and he had to let it go. It was dancing around by itself, destroying the expensive custom tiles in the room. That was the day he pulled the plug and that was that. He turned up with a prototype the next day. Once the cut is complete, power off the drill and use a deburring tool to clean the edge of the tubes. He designed this pipe cutter with his childhood friend, the #2 engineer for the V8 Super Car Series Team - Triple Eight Racing. Using the same top-of-the-line materials used with the race cars, they crafted a pipe cutter like no one had seen before. They created a tool that cuts 6x faster than any other tool with the longest-lasting blade and cleanest cut in one single cutting action. First off, these pipe cutters allow you to cut pipes larger than 2 inches. A standard pipe cutter will be very effective for smaller pipes, but are useless for larger pipes. An internal pipe cutter is able to cut upward of 10 inches, making it much more effective for large pipes. Internal pipe cutters are also relatively cheap compared to manual and ratcheting pipe cutters. The most useful aspect to an internal pipe cutter is that it allows you to cut PVC pipes that are in the ground and in tight spaces. Line up the blade, and turn on the drill. The pipe cutter will begin spinning. Rotate the drill in a circular motion as the blade spins for a consistent cut.
