since i have a lot time to play,, i made this video to see and test this new blade that i bought ,, which will let me get into tight spaces … and make a clean cut on tubing and metal lines .. and wondered ,, if this would create sparks when cutting .. especially when cutting fuel lines .. and it would be less worry cutting brake lines or others ..
so with this video, , you see it does do it very well and pretty fast ..but what i did not expect was the metal was pretty hot when cut .. but again ,, i also saw smoke too as i was cutting .. and just didn’t put it together in my mind ..
and another reason was that ,, there has been several times working on any auto motives ,, it is a tight space if you need to do a cut with a regular pipe cutter .. however,, if you notice my sample tubing ,, it is a steel fuel line,,, that i used a bolt cutter to cut it in about 5 seconds ,,, and you see it is squashed too ..

3/8 in. Titanium Bi-Metal Universal Fit Wood and Metal Cutting Multi-Tool Oscillating Blade
i had to order this ,, as it was not stocked inventory ,, it’s only 3/8" wide and compared to all and most others blades ,, which are 1 inch or larger .. so i bought this ..
before cutting this line ,, i used the blade to cut thru a fuel filter nut and all the teeth held up pretty well with little wear ..
a recommendation ,, if you plan to use ,,, i would wrap the line with wet rag to keep it cool when cutting and not just zip thru the cut ,, like i did in this video ,,, but cut some and let it cool and cut again … and repeat .. as long as you need .. but if heat is not an issue ,, you can do what you want ..
and last thought ,, i would use this when a regular or small pipe cutter will not work in a tight situation ..
