Klein Tools 50506SEN – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can this Klein PVC cutter cut flexible plastic pipe and non-metallic tubing, not just rigid conduit?
Yes. Besides rigid PVC, the 50506SEN is rated for 1 inch non-metallic tubing and flexible pipe up to 1-3/8 inch outside diameter. That makes it usable on poly tubing and flexible pipe runs as well as conduit, with a bigger capacity on flex than on rigid PVC.
2) Will a PVC cutter like this work on EMT or metal conduit?
No. The 50506SEN must not be used on metallic pipe or cable wire, and it should never be used on or near live electrical circuits. For EMT and rigid metal conduit you need a tubing cutter or a bandsaw, not a shear-type PVC cutter. The blade here is ground for plastic and metal will destroy it.
3) What do I order when the blade on the Klein 50506SEN gets dull?
Klein Cat. No. 50549 is the replacement blade for the 50506SEN. Before you replace it, note the blade is reversible, so flipping it gives you a second cutting edge and doubles the service life. Crews standardizing on this tool usually keep a couple of 50549 blades in the van.
4) Does this cutter leave a burr that has to be reamed before gluing?
Clean, burr-free cuts are what this tool is built for in PVC and flexible pipe, so in most cases you can go straight to solvent cement without reaming. One working condition matters: do not cut cold PVC. Chilled pipe cracks and chips under a shear blade rather than slicing cleanly, so warm the pipe if it has been sitting outside in the cold.
5) How big is the Klein 50506SEN and is it small enough to carry on a tool belt?
It is 8.5 inches overall and weighs 1 pound, with a handle latch that keeps the tool closed when it is not in use. That latch is what makes it pouch and bucket friendly, since the jaws will not spring open against the rest of your tools.
6) Is the Klein 50506SEN durable enough for daily use by a maintenance crew?
The tool is steel bodied, and the wear item is the blade rather than the frame. Reversing the blade gives a second edge, and Cat. No. 50549 replaces it when both edges are done, so a facility can keep the same cutters in service instead of scrapping them. Eye protection should be worn on every cut.
