Ratchet Exhaust Pipe Cutter – 28–67mm Capacity
Brief Overview
This ratchet-driven exhaust pipe cutter is engineered for mechanics and technicians working in tight engine bays where swing space is severely limited. The 60-tooth ratchet mechanism delivers a 6-degree working angle per stroke, allowing controlled cuts in confined areas where traditional pipe cutters cannot operate. The hardened steel cutting wheel handles copper, aluminum, and steel tubing with equal efficiency. If you're working with smaller diameter brake lines, a compact ratchet brake pipe cutter offers similar precision in an even more compact form factor.
Key Features
- Ratchet-Driven Mechanism: 60-tooth ratchet with 6-degree incremental advance per stroke
- Wide Cutting Range: Handles pipes and tubes from 28mm to 67mm diameter
- Multi-Material Capability: Cuts copper, aluminum, and steel without wheel replacement
- Shallow Depth Capacity: Operates up to 3mm material thickness
- Single-Hand Operation: Ergonomic grip and twist-knob wheel advancement
- Compact C-Frame Design: Fits into restrictive engine compartments and tight exhaust spaces
- Precision Cutting Wheel: Polished steel wheel with dual guide rollers for straight, burr-free cuts
- Heavy-Duty Construction: Powder-coated metal frame with machined steel components
Business Advantages for Resellers
Shop-Floor Essentials: Exhaust system work is a steady revenue stream in any automotive service department. This cutter becomes a must-have tool for technicians tackling exhaust replacement, repair, and custom fabrication—particularly in modern vehicles where engine access is cramped.
Margin-Friendly: Position this as a "systems upgrade" for shops moving from manual cutters to ratchet-driven equipment. The confined-space capability justifies premium pricing versus entry-level alternatives.
Inventory Turnover: Pair this with larger-capacity tube cutters for different job types (general maintenance vs. heavy exhaust work). Bundle opportunities increase average transaction value.

Why This Cutter Works
The ratchet mechanism solves a real problem: traditional pipe cutters require full-circle rotation, which is impossible in tight engine compartments. This tool advances the cutting wheel in small increments, allowing technicians to make clean cuts in spaces where conventional cutters simply won't fit. The dual guide rollers prevent pipe slippage and wobble, ensuring straight cuts that won't jam or distort during reassembly.
The 28–67mm range covers most common exhaust diameters and brake line applications, while the 3mm depth capacity handles both thin-wall tubing and standard wall thickness. The multi-material cutting wheel eliminates the need to stock different tools for different metals.
