Wheeler Rex Ratchet Pipe Cutters accommodate an assortment of different tools for all sorts of plumbing pipe sizes. The Model 490 Ratchet Pipe Cutters utilize a ratchet action to provide mechanical advantage for the cut and can be operated in a construction trench just wide enough to slip the chain around the plumbing or drain pipe. The ratchet action is parallel to the plumbing pipe allowing pipe cuts on the ground, in a ditch, in close quarters or overhead.
