If you need to cut small-diameter, thin-wall plastic tubing, a swing-type cutter with a wheel might be overkill. The Model 342 ratcheting shears from Beta Tools are designed to easily cut plastic tubing up to 1 5/8" (42mm) outside diameter.
The ratcheting mechanism gives you a mechanical advantage, requiring less hand strength than single-pull shears do. Each squeeze of the plier-type handles brings the blade jaw down a little closer to the anvil jaw. The ratchet releases when the tubing is cut, but a manual release lets you abort the cutting operation. The blade is easily replaced when it gets dull or damaged. Measures 200mm (7 7/8") long overall. Weighs 503g (1 lb 2 oz). Beta orange with black handles. The model number is cast in raised numbers on the anvil jaw.
