Overview
The PEX CH-T-2 is a manual tubing cutter with stainless steel handles, weighing 1.3 pounds. Its name and handle material point to a dedicated PEX pipe cutter rather than a general-purpose cutting tool.
PEX tubing cutters use a scissor or ratchet action to slice cleanly through flexible plastic pipe without crushing the wall, which matters for a good seal when the pipe later goes into a fitting. Stainless steel handles resist the corrosion that plumbing tools face from regular contact with water and flux. The listing does not state the maximum pipe diameter it handles, which is worth checking against the PEX sizes used on a given job before buying.
- Stainless steel handle material
- 1.3-pound weight
- Purpose-built for PEX tubing
- Model CH-T-2
Who it's for
Suited to plumbers and DIYers running PEX tubing for home plumbing or radiant heat lines who need a clean, square cut for fittings. Not the right tool for cutting copper, PVC, or metal pipe.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Stainless steel, corrosion-resistant handles
- Built for clean PEX cuts
- Maximum pipe diameter not listed
- Limited to PEX-type tubing
Performance notes
A clean, un-crushed cut matters most with PEX because the tubing seats into a fitting or expands over a ring, and any oval deformation from a dull or wrong blade can cause a leak. Stainless steel construction on the handles holds up to the damp conditions typical of plumbing work without rusting.
