Ratchet-type Tube and Pipe Cutter for Cutting O.D. PEX, PVC, and PPR Plastic Hoses and Plumbing Pipes up to 1-5/8" inches, Ideal for Home Working and Plumbers (orange)

This PVC cutter was just what I needed to cut several pieces of 1" 40 thickness PVC to make dog hurdles. It was easy to use and did the job. I don't have much hand strength but I was easily able to cut all of the pieces of PVC that I needed. The cuts were clean and accurate. I don't know how long the cutter will last, but with my approximately 75 cutsI already got my $10 worth out of it!

Purchased during the winter. Stumbled on them looking for something else. The ones I have from one of the Big Box Stores was starting to fail & was becoming a pain to use. These were the second pair for the Big Box place. Tried two different pairs for different makers. Both acted the same. Always thought they were all kind of the same. No they are not. These are 1,000 times better than what the Big Box store sells. Ratchet works well. I keep trying to use two hands and pull them open after a cut, to get ready for the next cut. NOT NEEDED with these. With one hand they reset to the open position. Even covered with mud. The only thing I can say bad about these is the lock on the bottom is flimsy and will not last long. But I'm so used to having to pry the old ones apart, it is not an issue to me. I also do not have "little ones" to worry about either.

The tool works and the spring return on the blade is a great feature. Most other cutters like this require a manual reset of the blade. However, it doesn't cut square. Very close to it, but noticeably not. I don't think it would impact most jobs. I used it to cut 1/2" PVC and the out of square value was about 1-2mm per cut relative to the radius of the cut measured against the vertical parallel axis of the pipe. Most fittings cover for that kind of error and it won't matter. But some users may find that unacceptable. Just be aware.

This is a very easy to use pipe cutter. I have used it to cut 1/2 in schedule 40 pipe, 1/2 in PVC pipe and 5/8 in id garden hose. The ratcheting mechanism is the reason why this is so easy to use. Only requires one hand to cut pipe. I recommend this for everyone but especially for someone with weak hands.

I can't say enough good things about this cutter. I do not have strong muscles in my hands (even for a woman) so I was skeptical I would be able to cut even 1/2" PVC pipe with this. When the pipe and cutter arrived, I decided to try it before calling my brother for help. SO easy! I love the ratcheting mechanism. 3 little squeezes and the pipe was cut - cleanly, easily and with very little effort.

This is the second set I had to buy. Blade broke. Would like to find where I can just buy the blades

These cutters work but are not as solid as another well known brand. My original pair broke after many years and I decided to try these, mostly due to price. My major complaint is that the blades do not meet as precisely as my other cutter and I end-up with cuts that are not completely flush. The larger the pipe, the worse the cut. I also find them harder to use, they require more grip strength. If you just make a few cuts in 1/2 inch PVC, these will work. If you use them frequently on larger diameters I’d go with a more expensive brand.

Highly recommended for its efficiency, durability, and ease of use. A great tool for plumbing and home improvement projects!

Lo utilizo mayormente para cortar tubo PVC y funciona muy bien. Lo recomeindo.

Easy way to cut poly pipe

The product works perfectly. Just not sure what its life will be as the quality of the materials is not the best. That being said at the price I have no complaints
