Pipe Cutter


Can you help me find this tool? It has no number on it. I used to use it on 1/2-inch polypropylene and schedule 40 pipe. It cuts pipe very easily.

It's just a generic pipe-cutting tool. You can get similar items for under $15.

That thing looks like a pain in the ass.

This one looks way more versatile and powerful:

Or good old Li-Ion powered:

Here is another source for a selection of German-made Rothenberger plastic pipe shears:

Additionally, how about their brand-new minimalist "PlastiCut" version:

A few years ago the large irrigation plumbing suppliers used to give those away with a large order of pipe. You might check with one of them.

the logo looks like "j line co". as far as i can tell, they manufactured water pumps. however it appears they have been absorbed by another concern.

if the cutter was a gimmee from an irrigation supplier, that might make sense.
