This is a PEX tubing cutter designed for clean, square cuts on PEX up to 1-1\/4\" (3.2 cm) in plumbing and irrigation work. It is compact, operates with one hand and latches closed for storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe reversible blade is the long-term value. When one edge wears, flip it and keep cutting, which extends usable blade life. If it does eventually need replacing, Klein offers a Replacement Blade for Compact PEX Pipe and Tubing Cutter (Cat. No. 50076).\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eOne-handed operation means you hold the pipe with one hand and cut with the other, with no clamping or repositioning. Contoured handles with finger grooves keep the grip secure and controlled, including when your hands or gloves are wet, which happens on every PEX job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe handles are diecast aluminum in Klein orange with a matte finish, and the blade is silver-coated steel. The cutter is about 8-7\/8\" (22.5 cm) long, 1-5\/8\" (4.1 cm) wide and weighs 7.7 oz (218 g), small enough for a tool pouch or a pocket. It does not ream.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eWho should buy it: plumbers and plumbing apprentices running PEX supply lines, irrigation installers, remodelers and homeowners re-piping with PEX who want a compact cutter that makes square cuts for fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails id=\"product-benefits\" class=\"acc\"\u003e\n  \u003csummary\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSquare Cuts on PEX\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"acc-body\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"img\"\u003e\n        \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/1582\/5958\/files\/klein-50072_callout1_b.jpg\" alt=\"Klein Tools 50072 compact PEX cutter making a square cut on PEX pipe for a plumbing fitting\" class=\"tnblock-img\"\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"copy\"\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003eA square cut is what makes a PEX fitting seal right.
