Sharkbite 25880 Pro Pex Pipe Cutter 1/4 to 1 Inch

Product Description

The SHARKBITE CASH ACME 25880 is a professional-grade PEX pipe cutter designed for clean, accurate cuts on PEX, PE-RT, HDPE, and polyethylene tubing from 1/4 inch through 1 inch copper tube size (CTS). The V-shaped blade features specially designed flats inside the cutting cavity that guide the pipe and prevent distortion or pinching during the cut. Spring-loaded handles with rubber grip overmold allow controlled, consistent force application. A thumb-actuated blade lock keeps the cutting edge fully recessed when the tool is not in use. Designed and assembled in the USA. Sold in a package quantity of 3.

This cutter is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing rough-in and repair work involving flexible plastic tubing systems. Its compact profile allows use in confined spaces such as wall cavities, under-cabinet runs, and tight mechanical chases where standard ratchet cutters are difficult to maneuver. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians working with PEX distribution systems, radiant heating loops, PE-RT hydronic piping, and HDPE supply lines will find this tool appropriate for everyday field use.

Installation Notes

This tool is intended for use by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians working with flexible plastic tubing systems. Shut off water supply and depressurize the line before cutting in any active system. Ensure the pipe is fully seated in the V-groove before actuating the blade to achieve a square, burr-free cut end. Square cuts are critical for proper fitting engagement and leak-free connections on push-to-connect and crimp-style fittings.
