Hinged Cutters™ (1”-12” or 32-356 mm)
Hinged Cutters™ feature four wheels to cut steel, stainless steel, cast and ductile iron with only 90° to 110° handle swing. Only 4” (125 mm) clearance is required around pipe. Strong guide fingers ensure perfect wheel alignment for square cuts. A closed 360° frame on the hinged cutter forces all energy into cutting the pipe for maximum efficiency. There is no shower of sparks in this cold cut. Reed has the only hinged cutter that tracks every time and the only one recommended for ductile iron, steel, and stainless steel to Schedule 100. This tool is a Reed invention.

Why Reed?
Hinged Cutters™ are a Reed invention! They are lighter, track better for square cuts, and require less clearance, yet provide better torque so the cut is made faster and with less effort. Can be used anywhere – in the ditch, underwater, in explosive atmospheres (cold cut), in noise-free ones, over head, in racks of pipes, etc.
