Cordless Copper Tubing Cutter

A cordless copper tubing cutter is a tool that eliminates the wrist bending required with traditional tube cutters.

Risks Addressed:

Stressful hand and wrist activity can cause musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) such as muscle strains; tendonitis, which is inflammation of elbow and wrist tendons; or carpal tunnel syndrome, which is compression of a wrist nerve, resulting in finger numbness and loss of hand strength.  The cordless copper tubing cutter can help reduce stressful hand and wrist activity by using battery power to cut through copper tubing.   
 

Stooped postures can cause low back disorders, such as muscle strain or a disc herniation (“slipped disc”), which is bulging of disc material possibly pressing on the spinal cord or nerves that go into the leg.  The cordless copper tubing cutter can help reduce stooped by allowing workers to move freely into ergonomically safe positions rather than being restricted by a cord. 

How Risks are Reduced:

Cutting copper tubing requires reaching with awkward wrist postures. The cordless copper tubing cutter allows the user to keep a neutral wrist position while cutting tubing. Repetitive wrist motions are also reduced when cutting copper pipe because the cordless copper tubing cutter has a revolving head that spins without the need for hand movement.

 
Repairing copper tubing in confined spaces also requires excessive stooping of the low back. Working repeatedly in these positions can cause fatigue, pain, and injury. The cordless cutter reduces the time spent stooping since it is faster than traditional cutters.
