Westward 1YNA6 Ratcheting PVC Pipe Cutter
This ratcheting tube cutter handles PEX, polyethylene, polypropylene, PVC and PVDF tubing up to 1 11/16 inches in diameter. The aluminium alloy body measures nine inches long with a 30 millimetre width and 110 millimetre height. A steel blade performs the cut while an auto-reverse design returns the blade automatically once the cut is complete.
Replaces manual scissor or single-stroke cutters
The ratcheting shear action reduces hand force on thick-walled plastic pipe, making the jump worthwhile when cutting multiple lengths of PVC or PVDF in a single job. It is not suited for metal pipe, tubing larger than the stated maximum capacity or users who need an integrated reaming tool for deburring.
Spring-loaded ratchet
Squeeze the handles repeatedly to advance the blade, then release to let the mechanism return it without manual reset. Common issues include blade dulling after extensive PVC cutting and debris jamming the ratchet teeth if the tool is not cleaned between uses.

Questions about this item
What pipe diameters can the Westward 1YNA6 cutter handle?
The ratcheting shear cuts PEX, polyethylene, polypropylene, PVC and PVDF from 1/16 in up to 1 11/16 in outside diameter.
How does the ratcheting mechanism release the blade after a cut?
An auto-reverse design returns the steel blade automatically when the cut is complete, so you simply open the handles to reset for the next cut.
When should the steel blade be replaced on this cutter?
Replace the blade when it no longer produces a clean, square cut on PVC or PEX, or when the ratchet requires excessive force to advance through the material.
