Description
Overview:
The Milwaukee Plastic Pipe Cutter 48224202 is a compact, handheld cutter built for clean, accurate cuts on plastic and rubber tubing. It uses a robust metal core with a corrosion‐resistant cutting head and a V‐shaped stainless steel blade to produce square, reliable cuts with minimal crushing. Ergonomic overmoulded grips provide control and comfort, while a spring‐loaded action speeds up repetitive work. A one‐handed lock keeps the jaws safely closed between tasks. With a maximum cutting capacity of 25 mm (1 in) outside diameter, it is suited to domestic and site work across plumbing, heating, electrical, and pneumatic systems. Typical materials include PEX, PB, MDP, PE, plastic electrical conduit, plastic overflow pipe, rubber hose, and silicone hose. Also referenced as MHT48224202.
