Ratchet shears with hardened steel blades are ideal for cutting PE, PP, PEX and ABS pipe. RS 1PLT, RS7290, RS P1 and RS P2 ratchet shears offer the thinnest blades with a finish that moves them smoothly through pipe. Due to its long handles that add leverage, the RS2 is good for cutting up to 2” pipe. One-hand models RS 1 and RS 1PLT offer a 7-step ratchet mechanism for best mechanical advantage and smoothest operation. RS 1PLT is unique with a corrosion-resistant, nickel-plated, steel blade which makes it a good choice for corrosive environments. Pointed blade in one-hand model RS P1 and RS P2 helps start the cut in tough plastics and helps avoid bounce in thin wall material. The two-hand RS2 features 2” capacity, extra wide, v-style jaws for easy alignment, and long handles for leverage on tough-to-cut pipe. RS7290 are one-hand style, 2” capacity ratchet shears. All ratchet shears’ blades can be easily sharpened or replaced, enhancing performance and saving money. These tools are not disposable and perform better, longer, and for less money over the tool’s lifetime.
