Manual pipe cutting tool KS Tools 104.5052 weight 55 g

The KS Tools 104.5052 manual pipe cutting tool weighs 55 g and is designed for precise cutting of small-diameter pipes and tubing. Its compact, lightweight construction provides steady handling and control for clean-edge cuts, making it suitable for plumbing, HVAC, and general installation tasks where accuracy and minimal material deformation are required.

Advantages

The tool's low weight and compact design reduce user fatigue during repetitive cuts and allow access to confined spaces. A sharp cutting edge and stable body design produce consistent, burr-free results on soft metal and plastic pipes. Its simple manual operation requires no power source, making it convenient for on-site use and quick interventions.

Suitable for

• Cutting soft metal tubing such as copper and aluminum
• Trimming plastic pipes and conduit for plumbing repairs
• On-site HVAC and installation work in confined or mobile environments
• Precision tasks where a compact manual cutter is preferred over power tools

Key specifications

• Manual, hand-operated cutting mechanism
• Compact, lightweight construction — approximately 55 g
• Suitable for small-diameter pipes and tubing
• Sharp cutting edge designed for clean cuts with minimal burrs
• Ergonomic form factor for single-hand use and access to tight spaces

How to use

Position the pipe in the tool's cutting area, ensuring the desired cut line aligns with the cutting edge. Apply steady manual pressure while rotating or advancing the cutter as designed to achieve an even cut. After cutting, inspect the pipe end for burrs and deburr if required with an appropriate tool before assembly. Follow standard safety practices: secure the workpiece, keep fingers away from the blade path, and wear appropriate eye protection.

Recommendations

Use the cutter on pipes within its intended diameter range and on materials it is designed to handle. Replace or sharpen the cutting edge if cuts become uneven or produce excessive burrs. Store the tool in a dry place to avoid corrosion and keep it clean for reliable performance.
