KNIPEX 90 31 01 SBA TubiX S Pipe Cutter – 3-inch Minimal Radius and QuickLock

Effortless pipe cutting in tight spaces

The KNIPEX TubiX S 90 31 01 SBA pipe cutter is engineered for confined work areas where room is precious. Its minimal cutting radius helps you approach pipes where other tools struggle, enabling clean, controlled cuts with less maneuvering. The tool is built to deliver repeatable results day after day, even when space is tight or pipes run along walls, ceilings, or inside cabinets.

Beyond reach, the tool also focuses on ease of use. The QuickLock mechanism lets you clamp and adjust with a single hand, while the preset scale lets you set the pipe diameter before you start, clipping onto the pipe for quick reference during the cut. This combination supports faster setup and fewer interruptions as you work your way through complex piping layouts.

Precise performance you can rely on

• Cuts copper and stainless steel pipes from 3 mm to 30 mm with a wall thickness up to 2 mm (5/64 in).
• Spring-loaded cutting wheel ensures fast, repeatable positioning for accurate results.
• Five needle bearings reduce friction for smooth, consistent cutting with less effort.

Designed for durability and maintenance

• Optimized turning knob with a textured thumb recess delivers up to 20% more torque and improved grip.
• A spare cutting wheel is stored in the knob for quick replacements on site.
• Cutting wheel made of high-quality ball bearing steel for long wear, plus replacement parts available (90 39 02 V01 for the wheel, 90 39 02 V03 for wheels set).

Whether you’re performing routine plumbing work, fabricating installations, or on an installer’s visit, the TubiX S is designed to support precise, repeatable cuts with confidence. The ability to preset diameter, the secure QuickLock action, and the compact cutting radius all contribute to smoother workflow and cleaner joints. While every project presents unique challenges, this tool aims to help you maintain control, reduce rework, and finish tasks with professional quality. Regular maintenance—such as wheel replacement and checking needle bearings—keeps the cutter performing at its best and extends its service life.
