Description
Make square, burr-free cuts in irrigation and drainage pipe with one squeeze. The Dawn Industries Original KwikCut T135 PVC Pipe Cutter is the orange-handled T Series cutter that Dawn has built in its Colorado factory under a US patent for decades. A stainless steel blade slices PVC, polyethylene, HDPE pipe, hose and tube from 1/8" up to 1-5/8" (3 to 42 mm) at a clean right angle, so fittings seat fully without chamfering. Fiberglass-reinforced nylon handles keep the tool light in the pouch and tough enough for daily use on the truck.
Key Features
- Cuts 1/8 to 1-5/8 in: Covers 1/2" and 3/4" irrigation laterals, drip tubing, sprinkler risers and up to 1-1/4" pipe with room to spare.
- Clean right-angle cut: The blade shears straight through the wall with no crushing, which eliminates chamfering and leaves a square end ready for a solvent-weld or compression fitting.
- Stainless steel blade: Sharper than a plated blade and holds its edge longer; when it does dull, replacement blade BT135-SS drops in.
- Fiberglass-reinforced nylon handles: Light, rigid and long-lasting, in high-visibility orange so the cutter does not disappear in the trench.
- About Dawn Industries: Dawn Industries makes The Original KwikCut line of pipe and hose cutters in Colorado, protected by US Patent 4336652, for irrigation, landscape, plumbing and electrical trades.
How to Use It
Open the handles, seat the pipe in the jaw against the anvil and mark your cut. Squeeze steadily; the stainless blade slices through PVC and poly in one stroke on small sizes, and a slight rotation of the pipe helps on 1-1/4" and larger. Keep the blade square to the pipe for a true right-angle end. On irrigation jobs, cut laterals and risers to length in the trench and dry-fit before gluing. The cutter also handles hose, conduit and electrical cable, so keep it in the pouch for landscape lighting runs. Wipe the blade dry after cutting wet pipe, and swap in a BT135-SS blade when cuts start to drag.
