Pipe cutter for CPVC, PEX and polypropylene
The Greenlee 864 is a ratcheting PVC cutter designed for CPVC, polyethylene, PEX, polypropylene and rubber pipe. Its maximum cutting capacity is 1.25 in. The 8 in tool length suits plumbers and HVAC technicians who need clean, square cuts on plastic piping systems. A heat-treated steel blade and rugged metal-alloy frame provide durability on daily job-site use.
Check pipe material and diameter before ordering
Verify that the pipe you intend to cut falls within the 1.25 in maximum capacity and is made from CPVC, polyethylene, PEX, polypropylene or rubber. The ratcheting action requires enough clearance around the pipe for the handles to cycle fully. Ensure the replacement blade kit 00355 is available for future maintenance if high-volume cutting is expected.
Metal-alloy frame with ergonomic metal handles
The body uses a metal alloy that resists flex during the ratchet stroke, while the metal handles incorporate an ergonomic profile to reduce hand fatigue on repetitive cuts. A heat-treated steel blade holds its edge longer and can be swapped using the included replacement blade kit 00355. The compact 8 in length allows the cutter to fit into tight trenches or cabinets.

Questions about this item
Does the Greenlee 864 pipe cutter include a spare blade or must I buy one separately?
The cutter ships with replacement blade kit 00355 already in the box, so no separate blade purchase is needed.
Should I choose a larger-capacity model or is the 1.25 in maximum enough for standard CPVC and PEX pipe?
The 1.25 in capacity covers most residential CPVC, PEX, polyethylene, polypropylene and rubber pipe sizes used in plumbing and HVAC work.
How does the 1.25 in cutting capacity perform when the ratcheting mechanism is under load on thick-wall CPVC?
The ratcheting action multiplies hand force, letting the heat-treated steel blade slice through 1.25 in CPVC cleanly without crushing the pipe.
