Gates 91153 Hand Held Hose Cutter

Easy to use very good quality.

Simple tool, but does the job. Highly recommend.

Nice quality and does a quality job

American Made, light, and economical. It has a replaceable blade, although at the purchase price of this tool I'm not sure I would bother attempting to find one. To use this tool properly, you don't "snip" through the hose. You have to rotate the handle while squeezing and it slices the hose. Imagine how you would use a utility knife to cut hose- you would likely use your thumb to hold the hose against the knife and rotate the hose against the knife. You essentially do the same motion with this tool while gently squeezing the handle. As you can imagine, it's much safer than using a utility knife. I would prefer a spring loaded hose "snipper", but I won't replace this one until it breaks or I lose it.

Just what I needed

Works perfectly cuts right through silicone rad hoses with ease and fits in tight places. Does not feel cheaply made. Highly reccomend.

Bought this to cut EK ZMT 10/16mm Tubing for a custom watercooling build and it worked great! Only times it didn't work well would be if I was trying to cut just a little bit of tubing off (less than an inch) and I would get a non-flush result. Only wish for it would be to have some sort of mechanism to hold the jaws shut, but it isn't too big of a deal as they don't flop open easily.

Great for cutting fuel lines. I bought this tool to cut fuel lines for my generator lines. I went to turn on my generator to let it run for 15 min, I try to do that each month to keep the carb from gunking up, the fuel line was leaking. Bought fuel lines on Amazon just for a generator and this tool. The tool cut the rubber lines like butter, nice clean cut! Super happy with the tool!
