The Mini Root Cutter is a lightweight, compact root-cutting tool designed for removing tough blockages and roots in smaller pipes, with excellent maneuverability around bends and junctions.

Description

The Mini Root Cutter is designed for removing solid blockages and cutting roots in smaller-diameter pipes. Its compact design allows it to navigate bends and pass around junctions more easily, making it an excellent choice where larger cutting tools may struggle.

Suitable for both PVC and cast iron pipes, this tool is built for demanding cleaning applications, including hard blockages, root removal, and even cement deposits.

Compared with a Croco Mole, this cutting head is lighter and more maneuverable, while still providing the cutting performance needed for tough blockages in smaller pipes.

The Mini Root Cutter can also be used in front of a chain as a drill head, helping to open a path through tough blockages before the chain continues its cleaning action.

  • Application: Root removal and solid blockage removal
  • Suitable for: Smaller-diameter pipes
  • Pipe materials: PVC and cast iron
  • Design: Compact and lightweight for improved maneuverability
  • Key advantage: Easier to pass around bends and junctions than larger root-cutting tools

Important: Using an imperial Allen key may strip the set screws. We recommend using a metric Allen key instead.

A screw set with metric Allen keys can be found here.

This tool is recommended for smaller pipes where high torque is required to remove tough blockages. Use it with a minimum 8 mm (5/16") shaft or larger, as root cutting and breaking through solid materials requires a significant amount of torque.

It is particularly effective for:

  • Removing roots from smaller pipes
  • Breaking through solid blockages
  • Removing hard deposits, including cement
  • Working through pipes with multiple bends or junctions
  • Opening a passage before a chain is introduced

For the best performance, select the shaft size according to the pipe size, number of bends and severity of the blockage. The Mini Root Cutter should be paired with a sufficiently strong shaft to deliver the torque required for demanding cutting applications.
