Benefits:

Sliding ratchet tube cutter delivers professional-quality cuts on tubing from 1/4" to 3 1/2" O.D., providing the maximum capacity in the Mastercool tube cutter range for handling the largest diameter pipes. Carbide steel cutting wheel ensures long service life and maintains sharp cutting edge through repeated use on both hard and soft materials. Creates clean, square cuts without deformation - essential for proper flaring and fitting connections even on large diameter tubing. Sliding ratchet mechanism delivers smooth, controlled cutting action with minimal effort, making it easy to cut large diameter pipes that would be difficult with standard cutters. Rollers feature flare cut-off grooves that salvage as much old tubing as possible when removing damaged sections - a valuable feature that reduces material waste. Lightweight yet durable construction provides the strength needed for professional use whilst remaining easy to handle and transport. Cuts copper, aluminium, brass, and thin-walled stainless steel tubing with ease. Perfect for HVAC/R technicians working with large commercial refrigeration lines, plumbers installing large diameter copper pipework, and professional installers who need maximum cutting capacity. The extra-large capacity range (1/4" to 3 1/2") means one tool handles everything from small refrigeration lines to large commercial plumbing pipes. Professional-grade quality delivers consistent results job after job. Replacement cutting wheels extend tool life. Essential tool for any technician who regularly cuts large diameter tubing in commercial and industrial applications.
