Description

The KNIPEX 185mm Pipe Cutters for Plastic Conduit (90 20 185) are precision ratchet-action cutters designed for making clean, square, burr-free cuts through plastic electrical conduit, corrugated tubing, and plastic pipe without the crushing deformation caused by standard pliers-type cutters or the unsquare cuts produced by hacksaw cutting. The ratchet mechanism allows gradual, controlled cutting through hard plastic materials without hand strain.
The precision blade is guided by the tool’s channel geometry to produce a perpendicular cut that ensures proper engagement of conduit fittings and couplings — critical for watertight and IP-rated conduit system integrity. Compatible with standard metric conduit sizes used in building electrical installation, the 90 20 185 covers the sizes from 20mm upward.
For electricians who install surface or buried conduit systems, this specialist cutter produces a vastly superior result compared to improvised cutting methods, improving the quality and integrity of conduit installations while reducing the time spent deburring and squaring cut ends.
