Flex duct cutter with wire cutter
The Malco FDC1 is a hand tool designed to cut flexible ductwork. It includes an integrated wire cutter for slicing through wire, PVC and metal pipe. HVAC installers and maintenance technicians will find it suited to on-site trimming tasks.
Compound leverage limits
The compound leverage design reduces the hand force required for each cut. The tool handles materials up to its 6 inch cutting length. Thicker or harder sections beyond that capacity will need a different cutting method.
6 inch cutting length headroom
The 6 inch cutting length covers standard flexible duct diameters and common pipe sizes. Larger duct runs or bundled cables exceed the jaw opening. Users needing greater capacity should select a larger shear.
