When paired with the solutions foldable cut fence, the steel pipe cutter delivers the easiest, consistent clean cuts.

This consistency reduces the time spent on filing and deburring, leading to faster preparation times and less rework. These innovations unlock up to 4x faster cut and preparation times compared to multi-purpose cutting tools, providing plumbing contractors with the fastest cut to connection on steel pipe installations.

Linear blade actuation

The M18 FUEL™ Steel Pipe Cutter delivers controlled cuts on both installed and new pipes.
