Users of the highly innovative, labour-saving pipe cutting tool from Kopex, Pipeslice, are now able to obtain sets of spare blades in handy, easily stored cases.
Winner of the CORGI “Special Award for Innovation” at this year's “Gas Oscars”, Pipeslice cuts through copper pipe with a twist of the wrist, leaving no burrs or uneven edges.
Pipeslice spare blades are packaged in sets of ten with a slide-open plastic casing made for easy storage in a tool box and with a transparent lid so users can see instantly when a new pack is needed. The replacement blade packs are available in two sizes – 15.9mm and 16.9mm. The 15.9mm version is for use on the 12mm, 14mm, 15mm, 16mm, 21mm, 22mm and 28mm Pipeslice. The 16.9mm blades are designed for the 13mm, 18mm, 19mm and 27mm Pipeslice cutter.
Users need only purchase the two different blade sizes to be sure of a supply of spare blades for all models. Pipeslice spare blades are manufactured with a hardened cutting edge for long life. With its automatic adjustment and easy action, Pipeslice has become a favourite for professional heating, ventilation and gas installers as well as plumbers and the DIY trade.
Single-handed cutting of copper pipes is made possible with automatic locking and adjustment and the tool is particularly suited to operation within confined spaces.
