Pipecutter DeWalt DT20560-QZ, steel blade, 35 mm cutting capacity, yellow

The DeWALT DT20560-QZ Steel Blade Yellow 35 mm pipecutter is a manual cutting tool designed for precision trimming of plastic and metal pipes up to 35 mm wide. Its compact, yellow housing and steel cutting blade provide a balance of visibility on the worksite and durable cutting performance. The tool is intended for professional and DIY plumbing and construction tasks where straight, clean cuts are required.

Advantages

The cutter combines a hardened steel blade with a compact body that fits comfortably in the hand, allowing controlled rotation and minimal burr formation. Its bright yellow colour improves visibility in busy environments. The 35 mm cutting capacity covers common pipe diameters used in residential and light commercial plumbing. The manual operation requires no power source, enabling use in confined spaces and on-site jobs without access to electricity.

Suitable for

• Cutting PVC, PEX and thin-walled metal pipes up to 35 mm
• Plumbing repairs and installations in residential buildings
• On-site construction work and maintenance tasks
• DIY pipe fitting and small renovation projects

Key specifications

• Blade material: steel
• Maximum cutting width: 35 mm
• Operation type: manual (hand-operated)
• Housing colour: yellow
• Design: compact, handheld

How to use

Place the pipe into the cutter's jaws at the desired cutting point, ensuring the pipe is supported and held steady. Tighten the cutter around the pipe according to the tool's adjustment mechanism so the blade contacts the pipe evenly. Rotate the cutter around the pipe while maintaining slight inward pressure until the blade penetrates and completes the cut. After cutting, inspect the pipe end and remove any burrs or debris before continuing installation.

Recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves and eye protection. For best results, keep the steel blade clean and replace or sharpen it if cutting performance declines. Avoid using the cutter on extremely thick-walled metal pipes beyond the specified 35 mm width capacity to prevent blade damage.
