SGS Professional CLASS42 Manual Plastic Pipe Cutter (Model SGS1010)
Achieve clean, burr-free pipe cuts in the tightest under-sink spaces with the SGS Professional CLASS42 Manual Pipe Cutter. A highly reliable staple in the Afrogulf plumbing catalog, this specialized hand tool is the go-to standard for everyday residential and commercial plumbing tasks. Unlike the bulky 63mm versions, the CLASS42 is engineered for maximum portability and speed, effortlessly cutting through standard-sized plastic piping without leaving rough edges that could compromise your glued or welded joints.
The SGS1010 relies on a highly efficient ratchet-drive mechanism that multiplies your grip strength, allowing the blade to progressively bite through tough plastic tubing (up to 42mm / 1-5/8″ in diameter) with very little physical effort. The blade itself is forged from premium hardened steel and features a V-shaped edge, which pierces the plastic sharply rather than crushing or flattening the pipe wall. Encased in a rugged, die-cast aluminum body and equipped with a handle safety lock, this tool is built to withstand years of drops and rough handling in any professional toolbox.
