Works great. Easy to use. Price is good. No problems or issues.

PEX PEX PEX I’ve read negative reviews regarding this cutter. I believe it’s due to the operator and using in wrong application, cutting non pex tubing. Or not centering PEX into small notch in the bottom center of the jaw. Used on 1/2” PEX A. Straight cut, smooth operation. PEX tubing was not deformed. Moral of the story properly tool for the application.

We dug trenches and placed the pex lines before cutting, so we were cutting the lines inside the trenches. We started without a cutter, so we were using a hack saw, which is a real pain to use in the trench. I finally ordered this and it is great. cuts quickly, with little effort.

And it is an inexpensive blade for cutting plastic tube. It is light weight and has a fundamental blade for cutting. It has a nice seat & notch for placing tube. 1/2" tube cuts easily, 3/4" is a little harder. The blade will distort to one side on harder cuts becasue it is so light but it still works. Also be aware that pex has a curve to it. If you cut it on a curve, the end will not be flat when you straighten it out for installation. Only common sense that is. Make sure the tube is as straight as you can get it before cutting to get a nice clean flat end. For the price it is OK and necessary if you are installing pex. It is a good buy for the DIY'er.

Very impressed with the quality and especially happy about the individually packed straws!

Love this cutter

I haven't had to use this tool much and the first couple cuts were great but after those, every cut is not straight at all. Not crooked enough to be a concern but definitely not straight. As I'm cutting 3/4" PEX, the blade is clearly bending out of alignment to where it doesn't line up with the slot on the opposing side. I expected better being that these are from Sharkbite but I guess the price was too good to be true.

I like the Sharkbite PEX tubing cutter. Actually, I use it to cut rubber hose, fuel line, weed trimmer string and all sorts of items which will fit inside the cutting area. It cuts clean and it cuts square. The hand grip fits the hand well and it doesn't take unreasonable force to cut the PEX. You can cut PEX with other tools just as you can use the PEX cutter to cut other materials and items. You need a nice square cut on your PEX to properly use Sharkbite Fittings. If you pay attention, this PEX tubing cutter will cut the PEX and a number of other things. It's a handy tool, just be smart with it. If you cut items which dull the blade, its not going to cut the PEX as easily as it should, so take care of your cutting tool.

Awesome tool

The Shark Bite pipe cutter works perfectly fine, very sharp for a quick snap of a pipe I had to buy another one for my friend. It's now an important addition to my plumbing tools.

Not a good cutter. I used it to cut 16mm Pex pipe. The blade went dull quickly. The plastic handles flex to much, making it difficult to cut all the way through. It worked well on soft hose. I will not recomend this cutter if you are a tradesman like me.

Pour une coupe droit de tuyau. Prenez cette outil. Très facile et efficace pour la coupe de tuyau PEX ou tuyau de système à air de camion.

Good tool and clean cut
