Reed Mfg H12S Hinged Pipe Cutters, Steel/Stainless Steel, 8" - 12"

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 hinged 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.
