Hose Cutter
An automotive hose cutter is a specialized tool designed to cut hoses cleanly and evenly without causing damage or deformations. It is commonly used in automotive applications to cut hoses such as fuel lines, radiator hoses, and vacuum lines. The cutter typically consists of two sharp blades that are positioned perpendicular to the hose. The blades are made of high-strength steel or carbide and are designed to cleanly slice through the hose without compressing or pinching it. To use the cutter, the hose is placed between the blades, and the handles are squeezed together. The blades then slice through the hose, leaving a clean, straight cut. This ensures a proper and secure connection between the hose and its fittings. Automotive hose cutters come in a variety of sizes and styles to accommodate different hose diameters and materials. Some models may also have additional features such as ratcheting mechanisms or replaceable blades. Using a proper rubber, stainless, or hydraulic hose cutter can help ensure a safe and efficient repair or installation, as it minimizes the risk of leaks, ruptures, and other problems associated with poorly cut hoses.
