Pro-source JTC-250S Mini Hand Tube Cutter 1/8 to 1 Inch

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE JTC-250S is a mini hand tube cutter designed for cutting steel and stainless steel tubing in tight spaces where a standard-size cutter will not fit. It handles tubing from 1/8 inch up to 1 inch in outside diameter and measures 2.5 inches in overall length, making it compact enough for confined work areas. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and refrigeration technicians reach for this tool when working around coils, in equipment cabinets, or anywhere clearance is limited. The compact body keeps the cut square and clean without requiring a full swing arc.

This cutter is suited for residential and light commercial service work involving copper refrigerant lines, small-diameter steel tubing, and stainless steel tubing runs. It fits naturally into a tool pouch and handles the close-quarters cuts that come up regularly during equipment installation, line set modifications, and repair work on existing systems. The 1/8 to 1 inch capacity covers the most common small-diameter tube sizes encountered in HVAC, plumbing, and related mechanical trades.

Key Features

• Mini tube cutter design fits in confined spaces where full-size cutters cannot reach
• Cuts steel and stainless steel tubing
• Capacity range of 1/8 inch to 1 inch outside diameter
• 2.5 inch overall length keeps the tool compact in a tool pouch or kit bag
• Produces a square, burr-minimizing cut for clean tube ends

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style hand tool compatible with standard steel and stainless steel tubing in the 1/8 to 1 inch outside diameter range commonly used in HVAC, refrigeration, and plumbing applications.

Installation Notes

This tool is intended for use by trained HVAC technicians, plumbers, and refrigeration mechanics. Before cutting any tubing in a live system, isolate and recover refrigerant or depressurize the line per applicable codes and safety procedures. After cutting, ream the tube end to remove any burr before making a flare, swage, or solder joint. Inspect the cutting wheel for wear if the tool requires excessive force or produces a ragged cut.
