What Customers Are Saying

The product is generally effective at making clean, straight cuts on smaller diameter PVC and plastic pipes, with a ratcheting mechanism that provides good precision and control. However, it struggles with larger diameter pipes and some users report issues with the blade chipping or the gear mechanism bending. While suitable for DIY and home projects, the tool's limitations may be a concern for more demanding professional use.

Can't buy Blades!

Would Not Recommend

For $19.95 It was the "stuff" the first day on 1" & 11/4". The blade started to chip away. It is very brittle. And as in the title, you can't buy blades. Now today I see they are no longer available from Lowes at all. Twenty Dollar lesson.

Well made. Actually underpriced.

Would Recommend

I used it to install a thermal expansion tank, using PEX piping and Sharkbite fittings. Very clean cuts. I haven't tried it on PVC, but it seems very substantial. And it's relatively underpriced.

Great for electrical work

It WORKS!

Would Recommend

This is a heavy duty tool built to cut PVC pipe in all sizes up to 1 1/4" and it does that very well. It is easy to use with a blade that is heavy steel and cuts clean and smooth edges without collapsing or breaking the pipe. Under home handyman use it should last a lifetime. Professional daily use you could expect losing it or theft before it wears out. I recommend it.

Ultimate thermoplastic pipe cutter

Would Recommend

Cuts PVC or other thermoplastic products like butter, making the job a lot easier and faster than a hacksaw or even a dremel tool. Cuts accurately every time.

BrassCraft PVC Cutter

Would Recommend

Works very well. I use this tool a lot. If you’re working with plastic pipe these tools are awesome. The larger cutter is awesome as well. I recommend buying both.

Superb PVC pipe cutter!

The Good & The Bad

Would Recommend

Works fine on schedule 40. But when I tried to cut a 3/4" schedule 20 PVC line to install a T for my existing HVAC drain line the cutter cracked the pipe. BTW if the HVAC contractor had given me the choice between schedule 20 and schedule 40 I would had paid the few extra pennies for the 40. Schedule 20 is junk in my book.

Cutting pvc is easier with these than a hacksaw.

Would Recommend

Used a hacksaw to cut my main water line for repair. Purchased a shark bite coupling and these pvc cutters. Cleaned up my cuts and got a great seal with the use of these. Very easy and love the ratcheting cut.
