Soil Pipe Cutters
Models 206 and 246 Soil Pipe
Cutters

Description

The Models 206 and 246 are ratchet-type soil pipe cut-
ters. The ratcheting action parallel to the pipe makes the
206 and 246 the ideal tools for cutting pipe in trenches
of limited width. The Model 206 is a lightweight tool
designed for cutting no hub pipe, whereas the 246 is a
heavier duty tool able to cut hub and service weight cast
iron pipe. The models 206 and 246 are the only soil pipe
cutters that feature an integral ratchet handle.
