THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS
In college you’re probably used to seeing just two types of pipe tube cutter - the traditional tube cutter and the C-shaped cutter. Now Nerrad Tools have brought out a brand-new, best of both worlds cutter, designed to cut copper and stainless steel tubes with the advantage of being able to be used in tight spaces – and we’re sure every plumbing and heating apprentice will find themselves working on a job in a cramped space! So what’s so special about the Adjustable Ratchet Action Copper Tube Cutter? ▸ the Internal Cutting Mechanism rotates independently from the outer body, ideal when working with tubes that are close to the wall ▸ the tight ratchet action requires just 30 degrees movement to operate, so it’s easy to use in confined spaces ▸ includes the NT4067 which can cut 67mm tube in situ, making it an ideal time saving tool.
HOW TO GUIDE > STEP ONE
01
Place the cutter onto the tube, keeping the tube between the rollers. Tighten by twisting the black handle clockwise until the cutter wheel makes contact with the tube.
> STEP TWO
02
Pull the black handle out and pull it away from the cutter opening. Remember, a pull away from the opening is a cut, pushing towards the opening is using the ratchet.
> STEP THREE Continue to use the ratchet action until the silver body has fully rotated and is flush with the outer body.
03
> STEP FOUR When the black handle clicks back inward, twist it to adjust the load on the wheel, pull it out again and push away from the opening once more.
