Magnum 1/8 to 5/8 Inch Tubing Cutter (1066)
Make precise, square cuts in tight under-dash or chassis areas where standard tools cannot swing. This ultra-compact tubing cutter slices through critical lines ranging from 1/8 to 5/8 inch, cleanly severing hard and soft copper, aluminum, brass, and plastic. The low-profile design requires minimal clearance around the pipe, allowing tradesmen to execute clean cuts on pre-installed automotive brake lines or cramped HVAC capillary tubes without removing adjacent components.
