Overview
The Rothenberger 52000 is a compact hand cutter with a rubber grip handle, measuring 100 millimeters and weighing 0.43 kilograms. Rothenberger built its name on pipe and tube-cutting tools, and this listing continues that line in a hand-held size.
The listing lists the body material only as other, so the exact cutting mechanism is not detailed, though the rubber handle and compact 100 millimeter length point to a tool meant to be gripped and used one-handed in tight spots rather than a bench tool. No cutting capacity or diameter range is given, so match this against your job before ordering.

Who it's for
Suits trade or DIY users who work in confined spaces and want a small, rubber-gripped cutter. Not the right pick if you need a documented cutting diameter confirmed up front.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Rubber handle for a secure grip
- Compact 100 millimeter size for tight spaces
- From Rothenberger, a brand built on pipe and tube tools
- Cutting mechanism material is only listed as other
- No stated cutting capacity or diameter range
- No information on replacement blades or wheels
Performance notes
At 100 millimeters and 0.43 kilograms, the 52000 is sized to work in one hand in places a full-size cutter would not fit. The rubber handle adds grip over a bare metal one, which matters most when working overhead or at awkward angles.
