AutoCut™ copper tubing cutters are a great tool to have when you don't have enough swing room to use a full-size tubing cutter. You can cut copper tubing with less than 1 in of clearance. Or you can easily handle close stub-out work. And it's quicker than conventional cutters. Just snap it on the tube, close the gate and turn. The cutter wheel automatically tightens as you turn the AutoCut™ no knobs to twist. The cutter wheel is spring loaded to provide a constant cutting pressure, so you'll never accidentally crimp the tubing. For extra leverage in awkward spaces, you can get a ratchet turning handle. It slides over the AutoCut™ from either side for maximum ease of operation. The AutoCut™ has long-lasting hardened steel cutting wheels that are easy to replace when the time comes.
