Ratchet shears are ideal for cutting PVC, PE, PP, PEX, and ABS pipe. One-hand models RS1 and RS1PLT offer a 7-step ratchet mechanism for best mechanical advantage and smoothest operation. RS1PLT has a corrosion-resistant, plated steel blade. The RS2 features 2in capacity, extra wide, v-style jaws for easy alignment, and long handles for leverage on tough-to-cut pipe. RS7290 one-hand style, 2in capacity shears cut PE and PVC pipe used in gas, water, plumbing, and industrial applications, as do the other ratchet shears. All ratchet shears' blades can be easily sharpened or replaced.
