Reed Mfg H8I Hinged Pipe Cutters, Cast Iron/Ductile Iron, 6" - 8"

Hinged Pipe Cutters feature four wheels to cut steel, stainless steel, cast and ductile iron with only 90° to 110° handle swing. Only 4” (125 mm) clearance is required around pipe. Strong guide fingers ensure perfect wheel alignment for square cuts. A closed 360° frame on the hinged pipe cutter forces all energy into cutting the pipe for maximum efficiency. There is no shower of sparks in this cold cut. REED has the only 4-wheel pipe cutter that tracks every time and the only one recommended for ductile iron, steel, and stainless steel to Schedule 100. This tool is a REED invention.

Wheels for same size cutters are interchangeable. Recommend only Reed cutter wheels be used with these hinged cutters. Reed wheels are made from high shock-resistant tool steel on computerized (CNC) machines and then precisely heat treated. This allows for a thinner profile yet stronger blade, so they:

• Cut easier and faster, especially stainless steel and ductile pipe.
• Last much longer.
• Allow for shorter cutter handle for work in tight spaces.
• Provide the best value.
