Toolbox

Easily and quickly cut tubing – even in confined spaces – with the AutoCut^® family of copper and plastic tubing cutters from General Pipe Cleaners.

Offering true “one-hand” operation with no knobs to turn, AutoCut tools for copper tubing are more compact and convenient than using conventional copper tubing cutters. And, AutoCutPL^® plastic tubing cutters offer a similarly fast, easy way to cut PEX and CPVC-CTS plastic tubing.

Just close the gate over the tube and, while squeezing the gate closed, rotate AutoCut in the direction of the arrows. The hardened steel cutting wheel automatically tightens as you twist, quickly producing clean, uncrushed, square cuts in as little as one rotation.

Great for use in tight workspaces, AutoCut solutions let you cut tubing with less than one inch of clearance. Both AutoCut and AutoCutPL come in three sizes – 1/2”, 3/4”, and 1”. They fit in the palm of your hand. Carry one of each in your toolbox!

Get hundreds of cuts with accuracy and ease. The handy blade guard protects your fingers – and easily replaceable AutoCut blades – from workplace and toolbox damage.

Focused on increasing productivity, cut quality and capacity, Milwaukee introduces the new M12™ Brushless 1-¼”-2” Copper Tubing Cutter. Delivering the fastest, clean cuts, the M12™ Copper Tubing Cutter provides high performance without sacrificing quality and automatically adjusts diameter to cut Type K, L, and M copper pipes from 1-3/8 ” to 2-1/8” (OD).

Eliminating the need for manual cutting and reducing user fatigue, the M12™ Brushless Copper Tubing Cutter delivers over 100 cuts on a singular charge from a Milwaukee XC 4.0 battery. Featuring a rotating head, the copper tubing cutter allows for faster cut speeds and superior access with as little as 1.7” clearance. The inline design allows for better balance and control for one-handed operation.

Producing quality, square cuts, the M12™ Brushless Copper Tubing Cutter benefits productivity by reducing the amount to deburr. Paired with a patented cutting mechanism, the copper tubing cutter is the first battery powered tool with the capacity to cut up to 2” copper pipes. The built-in LED light and view window illuminate the line of cut for better visibility when working in confined spaces.

The new M12™ Brushless Copper Tubing Cutter joins the M12™ Cordless System, the largest sub-compact system on the market, focused on delivering industry-leading durability and the ability to complete applications in the tightest spaces. Currently, the M12™ System is made up of more than 150 solutions.

Franklin Electric Co., Inc. (NASDAQ: FELE) announced that its Little Giant brand is expanding its condensate pump product line with the addition of the EC-1U-DV Undermount Mini-Split. The new pump controls HVAC condensate on ductless air conditioning units while keeping pumping equipment tucked safely out of view. It joins Little Giant’s extensive line of industry-leading condensate pumps.

The EC-1U-DV brings the performance of the EC-1-DV Series to a slim undermount unit that installs easily and neatly underneath equipment. This design features a sleek profile while delivering the critical condensate removal performance customers have come to expect from Little Giant.

The unit provides automatic condensate removal on any ductless mini-split air conditioner evaporative coil when gravity-feed drainage is not possible or practical. Because these types of air conditioning units are often placed in high-use spaces, the pump also offers quiet operation. It includes key specs and features that enhance the unit’s performance:

• Dual voltage 110 – 240 V 50/60 Hz
• 2.5 gph @ 1 ft (9.5 lph) flow
• Hinged reservoir platform for easy maintenance
• Multi-size hose drain adapter fits all popular drain hose connectors
