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.

Awful

Would Not Recommend

This did not last five seconds before it broke. The blade split longitudinally.

cheaper not better

Would Not Recommend

No other options available to purchase a better quality cutter. I took a piece of pipe and showed them what was happening. They also couldn't understand why this cutter wouldn't cu...

Great tool for Pex and thinner tubing

Would Recommend

This tool literally cut my Pex water lines in under thirty seconds. Has a great press and click gradual cutting mechanism. Helps you guide a straight cut and cuts easily. The blade release was a little tricky at first, but is a spring loaded release. It's actually a really nice safety feature. Do not use on PVC drain pipe. I tried, because it does fit nicely in the tool. It cracked my PVC and did not provide a good cut. I don't think it was meant to cut it anyways, I just figured I'd try it firs...

Cuts straight

Would Recommend

The cutter I had was old and I needed a new one. This one consistently cuts straight, which was my main requirement. The ratchet system is nice, too. I dont have to muscle the last little bit. Since you dont have to muscle it, it is easy to keep everything square. The blade might not be super-long-lasting as it is still only an 11$ item, so you may not want to cut the thanksgiving turkey with it. But if you are looking for something basic that gets the job done easily and consistently, this will...

Very good PVC Pipe Cutter-Very Easy to Use

Would Recommend

I had never cut pvc before and easily constructed 20+ marshmallow guns for a children's birthday party. Oh, and did I mention, I am the grandmother!
