The MCC Plastic Tubing Cutter (Quick Cut Type, Model JPC-37) is the go-to tool for making fast, clean, single-stroke cuts in polyethylene drip irrigation tubing, poly mainline, and similar plastic pipe up to 37 mm (1‑7/16") O.D. Unlike cheap plastic-handled cutters that crack and fatigue under repeated use, the MCC JPC-37 features a durable aluminum steel handle engineered to withstand heat, moisture, and the demands of professional field use — session after session. It is an essential companion to your drip irrigation tubing and punch tools.
A spring-loaded handle automatically reopens the blades after each cut, eliminating the wasted motion of prying the tool open between cuts and dramatically increasing efficiency on long tubing runs. Most impressively, the cutter ships with a reversible blade — when one cutting edge dulls at the job site, simply flip it over for a fresh, sharp edge without any downtime. Blade replacement requires only a standard screwdriver; no special tools needed.

What size tubing does the MCC JPC-37 cut?
The JPC-37 cuts plastic tubing and pipe with an outside diameter up to 37 mm (1‑7/16"), which covers standard 1/2" and 3/4" poly drip irrigation mainline tubing.
How do I replace or reverse the blade?
No special tools are required. Remove the spring from the handles, then use two standard screwdrivers to remove the bolt connecting both handles. Remove the two bolts securing the blade to flip or replace it.
The spare blade part number is JPCE37 if you need a full replacement rather than just reversing the existing blade.
Why is an aluminum handle better than a plastic handle on a tubing cutter?
Aluminum steel handles maintain their structural integrity under heat, moisture, and repeated heavy use — conditions that cause plastic handles to crack or fatigue over time.
This makes the MCC cutter a smart long-term investment for anyone doing regular drip irrigation installation or maintenance.
