1-5/8″ Ratcheting Pipe Cutter

Milwaukee 48-22-4210 – 1-5/8″ Ratcheting PVC Pipe Cutter

The Milwaukee 48-22-4210 Ratcheting Pipe Cutter is designed for clean, controlled cuts through PVC, CPVC, PEX, and other non-metallic piping materials. Built with a heavy-duty ratcheting mechanism, this tool allows for incremental cutting pressure with minimal user force, improving accuracy and reducing pipe deformation.

The precision-ground stainless steel blade features a pierce-point tip engineered to start cuts cleanly without crushing the pipe. Its ergonomic handle design supports prolonged use in both overhead and tight-space applications. An integrated lanyard loop offers secure tethering when working at height or in utility access zones.
