KNIPEX BiX: New cutting tool for plastic pipes as well as drip sleeves and sealing sleeves

With variable blade unit and sharp blades

The unique all-rounder Knipex BiX (90 22 10 BK) with rotating blade unit can separate both: Unreinforced plastic pipes (for example empty pipes for electrical or HT pipes for plumbing) as well as standard-compliant drip sleeves and sealing sleeves. It is flexible: The BiX adapts variably to pipe/sleeve diameters between 20 and 50 mm and cuts through wall thicknesses of up to 2.4 mm. In addition, weighing just 108 g light and measuring just 72 mm in length, the small Knipex BiX is compact and ergonomic enough to fit comfortably in the palm of your hand and to allow you to work in confined working conditions. The cutting tool is made of sturdy, reinforced plastic, the blade unit is made of die-cast zinc, and the blades (made in Solingen) are made of special surgical stainless steel.

Cuts pipes quickly and without shavings in next to no time

Knipex BiX cuts pipes quickly - markings help you find the exact cutting position. By applying slight pressure with the first turn a guide line is created for the cutter to follow. A further turn with a slightly higher pressure is often enough to separate the material. The cut off section remains in the tool and does not fall down. In addition, there are no shavings.

Standard-compliant results: BiX cuts sealing sleeves just as it should

The Knipex BiX also works as a cutting tool for drip sleeves and sealing sleeves. It cuts the sleeves quickly and easily - in accordance with DIN 18534 at a distance of approx. 2-3 mm from the wall. Already standard in Germany, sealing sleeves help keep walls dry: They prevent water from penetrating the wall and conduct moisture away from the wall due to possible leaks in water connections.
