{"title":"Pipe Shears","description":"Pipe shears provide fast, clean and accurate cutting of plastic pipework for plumbing, heating and maintenance tasks. Designed to create smooth, square cuts without crushing the pipe, they’re ideal for PVC, PEX, PB, MDPE and other soft plastics. Choose from standard one-hand cutters for quick, light-duty jobs or ratchet-action shears for larger diameters and tougher materials. With sharp, replaceable blades and ergonomic grips, these tools make installation and repair work easier, cleaner and more efficient for both DIY and professional users.","products":[{"product_id":"pipe-shears-ratcheting-plastic-pipe-cutter","title":"Pipe Shears – Ratcheting Plastic Pipe Cutter","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTIMCO Pipe Shears\u003c\/strong\u003e deliver fast, controlled cuts on plastic pipe and tubing with a compact, ratcheting mechanism that’s easy to use in tight spaces.
