EAST LONGMEADOW, Mass. April 2009 — LENOX, a leading manufacturer of
premium power tool accessories, hand tools, torches, solder and band saw
blades, announces the introduction of the LENOX Plastic Tubing Cutter.
The rugged, ergonomic design delivers straight, clean cuts with less
effort.
The patent-pending blade on the LENOX Plastic Tubing Cutter is made with
serrated stainless steel that requires 25% less cutting force than other
cutters on the market. The comfortable grip of the rubberized handles
allow for a secure grip in both wet and dry conditions. To go the extra
mile, LENOX has designed the cutter with a conveniently located locking
latch that allows for true one-handed operation of the spring-loaded
cutter; freeing the other hand to stabilize the tube.
“The LENOX Plastic Tubing Cutter stays sharp longer to decrease the
chance of the crushing that can occur with a dull blade,” stated Emily
Furnal, senior product manger, LENOX. “Straight, flush cuts are
extremely important when cutting plastic tubing. The straighter the cut,
the more contact the tube will have to the fitting which significantly
reduces the chances of leaks.”
The new LENOX Plastic Tubing Cutter is designed for optimal use on up to
1” soft plastic tubing like PEX, PE and PB, and flexible hose. LENOX
will introduce a full line of cutters in December 2008. The full line
will range from 1” to 2-3/8” O.D. and cut all materials from CPVC and
PVC to PEX and poly pipe. Each features the patent-pending serrated
blade and comfortable grips. LENOX Plastic Tubing Cutters are sold
through electrical, plumbing, HVAC and industrial distributors
nationwide. To learn more, or to find your nearest distributor, call
