Abstract
A pipe peeler for removing a uniform layer of material from the outer surface of a polyethylene pipe is provided. The device comprises a cuboid body, a blade with housing for retracting the blade, a chain attached to one end of the cuboid body, a threaded hook for attaching the other end of the chain to the cuboid body and tightening the chain around a pipe, and a push knob for rotating the device around the pipe in order to peel the pipe. The two points on the chain attached to the body are different distances from the end of the pipe when the chain is tightened around the pipe, thereby creating a spiral track on the pipe that the blade will follow when the device is pushed around the pipe, thereby creating a uniform spiral peel.
