PEX Cutter for 1in Pipe

The Rothenberger 52005 is a pipe shear designed for CPVC, plastic and PVC tubing up to one inch in diameter. It produces a precise right-angled cut with a stainless-steel blade and handles rubberised for grip. Plumbers and heating engineers use it for clean, square ends on PEX installations.

Replaces dull or oversized shears

When an existing cutter crushes the pipe or cannot reach the full one-inch capacity, this tool restores a clean cut without deformation. The jump is worth it when the current shear leaves burrs that prevent proper fitting seating or when the blade no longer holds its edge on plastic materials.

Simple one-hand operation

The shear arms lock for storage and open automatically with controlled action for each cut. A common issue is applying excessive force on cold or thick-walled pipe, which can damage the plastic body; let the sharp stainless blade do the work with steady pressure.
