Push Lock Hose Cutter

The REDHORSE PERFORMANCE Push Lock Hose Cutter is purpose-built for technicians and enthusiasts who regularly work with AN-spec hydraulic and fuel lines. Whether you're fabricating custom brake systems, fuel delivery setups, or transmission cooler lines, this tool delivers clean, perpendicular cuts on hose sizes ranging from 4 AN to 12 AN—eliminating the ragged edges and deformation that compromise seal integrity and system performance. For anyone serious about precision automotive plumbing, a dedicated hose cutter isn't optional; it's insurance against leaks, failed fittings, and costly rework.

Built from hardened steel with a durable red powder-coat finish, the Push Lock Hose Cutter employs a guillotine-style cutting action that severs reinforced hose without crushing or tearing the braid or inner tube—critical when working with modern multi-layer fuel injection and brake hose. The push-lock mechanism ensures one-handed operation and repeatable accuracy across the full 4 AN to 12 AN range, accommodating both rubber and braided stainless variants. At just 0.54 lbs and compact at 4.35 x 1.2 x 11.8 inches, it fits easily in a tool roll or bench setup without consuming workspace.

Professional mechanics, fabricators, and weekend build enthusiasts benefit most from this tool when assembling engine bay fuel systems, power steering upgrades, cooling loops, and transmission modifications. It's equally valuable whether you're replacing factory hose or custom-fitting aftermarket lengths—compatibility extends across all AN-standard push-lock and JIC-certified hose and fittings. For anyone upgrading to a late-model EFI fuel system, building a dual-cooling-line setup, or executing a full hydraulic brake conversion, the Push Lock Hose Cutter ensures every connection starts with a factory-clean cut.
