How does the tool prevent damage to internal cables?

Is it difficult to get a straight cut?

No, the tool has a double-sided guide that assists in positioning the pipe for a precise and straight cut, ensuring accuracy.

How should I clean and maintain the cutter?

After use, wipe the blades and body with a dry, clean cloth. Store it in a dry location to prevent rust and keep the blades clean and free of debris for optimal performance.

What is the warranty period for this tool?

Please refer to the product packaging or the official Knipex website for specific warranty information, as it can vary by region and retailer.

Can the blades be replaced?

The blades on the Knipex TwistCut are not designed to be user-replaceable. If the blades are damaged or become dull, the entire unit may need to be replaced.

Troubleshooting

Cutter not cutting cleanly

Ensure the corrugated pipe is properly seated within the double-sided guide and that you are cutting on the outside of the fluting. Check for debris on the blades.

Difficulty inserting pipe

Verify that the pipe diameter is within the 13-32 mm range specified for this tool. Ensure the end of the pipe is not deformed.

Tool feels stiff or hard to operate

Clean the blades and the cutting mechanism thoroughly. Check for any foreign material obstructing the movement. Avoid using excessive force; the tool is designed for smooth operation.

Accidental nicks on internal cables
