Yellow Jacket 60139 Tube Cutter
For the service truck, the Yellow Jacket 60139 is a staple heavy-duty tube cutter engineered specifically for high-capacity HVACR copper tubing. This tool utilizes a high-strength aluminum alloy I-beam body that provides maximum rigidity without the weight, ensuring a square cut on large diameter copper pipe ranging from 3/8" to 2-5/8" O.D. The Yellow Jacket 60139 is designed for the high-volume contractor, featuring long rollers with a flare cut-off groove to stabilize the work and a spring-loaded lever release for rapid size adjustments on the fly. Its contoured handle provides superior grip while doubling as an on-board storage compartment for replacement cutter wheels (Part 60124), minimizing downtime when a blade wear-out occurs in the field. Furthermore, the 60139 large tube cutter includes a unique, removable deburring tool integrated into the chassis, allowing you to clean the I.D. of the pipe immediately after cutting to maintain proper flow and system integrity.
Key Benefits for the Contractor- Broad Range Capacity: Precision cuts for 3/8" to 2-5/8" (10 mm to 67 mm) O.D. copper, aluminum, and brass.
- Industrial Durability: Rugged I-beam design manufactured from premium aluminum alloy for long-term field use.
- Service Efficiency: Integrated spare cutter wheel in the handle and a quick-release lever for rapid tool resetting.

- Built-in Finishing: Removable internal reamer/deburring tool stores directly in the cutter body for localized finishing.
What materials can the Yellow Jacket 60139 cut safely?
This tool is optimized for softer, thin-wall materials commonly used in refrigeration and air conditioning, including various grades of copper, aluminum, and brass. It is not recommended for heavy-walled steel or iron pipe.
How do I change the cutting wheel on this model?
The Yellow Jacket 60139 uses a standard retainer screw system. You can access the spare wheel inside the handle and swap it by loosening the steel screw and pin at the cutter head. Replacement 10-packs (Model 60115) are also available.
Does this cutter handle larger refrigeration lines?
Yes, its 2-5/8" capacity is sufficient for nearly all commercial HVAC line sets and suction lines, making it a more versatile alternative to smaller 1-1/8" or 1-3/8" cutters.
