SGS Professional JAWS42 Manual Plastic Pipe Cutter (Model SGS1012)
Eliminate crooked cuts and crushed tubing with the superior grip of the SGS Professional JAWS42 Manual Pipe Cutter. A specialized precision tool in the Afrogulf plumbing catalog, this cutter is designed for professionals who demand absolute accuracy when prepping water and drainage lines. While standard cutters can sometimes allow smooth plastic pipes to slip or twist off-axis, the SGS1012 features a heavily contoured, extended lower jaw that securely cradles the pipe, guaranteeing a perfectly flush, 90-degree cut that is ready for immediate jointing.
Beyond its superior pipe grip, the JAWS42 utilizes a highly efficient, progressive ratcheting mechanism. This system multiplies your hand strength, driving the hardened steel blade through dense plastic tubing (up to 42mm / 1-5/8″ in diameter) with smooth, one-handed operation. The blade is engineered to pierce the pipe wall sharply without compressing or deforming the inner diameter, resulting in a burr-free edge. Housed in a heavy-duty, die-cast aluminum body and featuring an integrated safety lock, this cutter is built to survive the rigors of daily job site use.
Key Features & Specifications:
-
Deep-Cradle Jaw Design: The specially contoured lower jaw firmly grips the pipe, preventing rolling and ensuring a perfectly straight, 90-degree cut every time.
-
Standard 42mm Capacity: Opens wide enough to easily tackle standard residential plumbing pipes up to 42mm (1-5/8″) in outside diameter.
-
Progressive Ratchet Mechanism: Maximizes cutting leverage to easily bite through thick, tough plastics without causing severe hand fatigue.
-
Premium Hardened Blade: Features a razor-sharp, heavy-duty steel blade that slices cleanly through material without leaving jagged burrs or crushing the pipe.
-
Rugged Aluminum Construction: The lightweight yet highly durable die-cast body resists job site impacts, while the handle safety clasp keeps the blade securely locked when not in use.
Applications: Highly recommended for precision cutting of smooth PVC pipes, PPR water lines, PEX tubing, CPVC, and standard rubber or plastic irrigation hoses where a perfectly square cut is critical.
