KNIPEX Pipe Cutter for hydraulic brake lines, with plastic handles. These pliers cut thin-walled brake pipes with plastic coating and synthetic resin and rubber cable sheaths cleanly and precisely, up to Ø 25 mm. The cutting action is facilitated by the design of the pin and handle. The body of the pipe cutter is made of fiberglass-reinforced plastic. The cutting blade is made of interchangeable, oil-hardened special steel. It features a safety lever with a lock to keep the pipe cutter closed when not in use. Note: do not use for cutting braided steel brake lines or standard steel outer casings of brake and shift cables.
