Split-Shot Cutter

Split-shot Cutter

Unlike conventional cutters, the split-shot cutter fires a vertical linear charge which splits the tubing collar and separates the  coupling, releasing the pipe for easy removal. Unlike conventional jet-cutters which create a "belling" effect, split-shot cuts clean, resulting in only a slight distortion of the tube. Split-shot's small diameter allows it to move easily past obstacles to get to the required depth. The tubing cutter is 1 3/8" diameter and cuts from 2" through 3 1/2".
