Midland Industries 990571 Mini Tube Cutter 7/8 in

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 990571 is a compact mini tube cutter designed for cutting copper, aluminum, and thin-wall tubing in tight spaces where a standard cutter will not fit. It handles tubing from 1/8 inch minimum up to 7/8 inch maximum diameter, making it a practical hand tool for HVAC techs, plumbers, and refrigeration technicians working in confined areas. The tool weighs 0.24 pounds and measures 2.2 inches in length, 1.45 inches in width, and 0.8 inches in height, keeping it lightweight and easy to carry on the job.

This mini tube cutter is suited for residential and light commercial service work where small-diameter tubing connections are common, such as refrigerant line repairs, water supply line work, and instrument tubing. Its small footprint makes it well suited for under-sink plumbing, panel access points, and equipment interiors where a full-size cutter cannot be maneuvered. Trade professionals who regularly service tight mechanical spaces will find this a standard addition to a basic service pouch.

Installation Notes

This tool is used by HVAC technicians, plumbers, and refrigeration mechanics during tubing prep and replacement work. Before cutting any refrigerant or gas-carrying line, follow applicable recovery and isolation procedures per local codes and manufacturer guidelines. Score the tubing evenly with steady, consistent rotation and light pressure to avoid deforming the tube wall. Deburr all cut ends before flaring, swaging, or connecting fittings.
