Fiskars PVC Cutter

Clean Cuts on PVC, PEX & More — With Less Effort Than Ever.

The Fiskars Pro PowerGear® Plastic Pipe Cutter (Model 740100-1002) is the go-to cutting tool for anyone installing or servicing an irrigation system. Whether you’re trimming PVC lateral pipe, PEX tubing, polyethylene (PE) mainline, polybutylene (PB) pipe, or rubber hose, this cutter handles it cleanly in a single, smooth stroke — no ratcheting, no sawing, no mess. It’s engineered specifically for the demands of real irrigation work: precise, repeatable cuts on a wide range of pipe materials, from 1/2″ drip mainline all the way up to 1-1/4″ outside diameter Schedule 40 PVC.

What makes the PowerGear® stand apart is Fiskars’ patent-pending leverage-enhancing gear mechanism, which multiplies the force of your squeeze at the toughest point in the cut — delivering over 35% more cutting power than traditional bypass-style cutters. That means less hand fatigue on long installation days and clean, square cuts every time. The Easy Action™ spring-assisted handle opens automatically between cuts to keep your hand relaxed, while the Softgrip® handle provides secure control even in wet conditions. A rugged stainless steel exoskeleton protects the mechanism and prevents rust — essential for a tool that lives in the field around water. Blades are replaceable (replacement blade model: 710000-1002), so the tool stays sharp over thousands of cuts rather than ending up in the bin.

This cutter belongs in every sprinkler installer’s toolkit. It pairs naturally with funny pipe and swing joints, mainline tubing, and the PVC fittings used throughout a sprinkler system. It also works great when cutting IPS poly pipe or Blu-Lock tubing to length in the field.
