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.

Would RecommendNeeded to cut pvc and cpvc. Recommended by salesperson. Worked fine if you squeeze slowly to keep the blade straight. Good price and worth the money.

Excellent cutter for Pex Tubing.
Would RecommendI am a relatively inexperienced plumber. This cutter made very clean, perpendicular cuts with minimal burrs. I could not have completed my project without it.
BrassCraft 1-1/4-in PVC Cutter

Rubbish for CPVC
Would Not RecommendCan't speak as to cutting other types of tubing, so it may be fine for, say, PEX, but for CPVC I'd pass. Ratchet works but difficult to square and blade is junk.

Great little tool!
Would RecommendThis is fantastic if you are working with pvc or rolled tubing that is < 1 1/4 " such a quick and easy way to cut tubing into smaller lengths!
Great cutter
Would RecommendUsed it to plumb garage, addition, and existing home connections. Cut all my pex and cpvc up to 1in with no problems at all. Ratcheting mechanism works great.
Wished I'd bought these things long ago
Would RecommendKept thinking a little job here, a little job there - don't need these! Just made everything quicker by buying them! Love them!
Brass craft 1 1/4 inch pic pipe cutter
Would RecommendCut the pvc pipe with just a little muscle power. I just purchased it and will not know how long it keeps it cutting edge. Worked great when we used it to cut a broken pipe.
beat on the market for the price
Would RecommendI use mine for cutting plastic track molding, it jas the best ratchet system of any cutters I have tried and I have bought 4 different brands, these open the easiest and ratchet closed the best, for my purposes it is even better than the cutters with the razor blade
Doesn't cut PVC well
I bought this tool because I have a project to install a water storage and filtration system. I'm using 1" PVC for all the exposed plumbing, and was tired of constantly running to the miter saw to make cuts. Unfortunately this tool leaves a wavy and out-of-round end on the cut PVC, which makes gluing the fittings difficult. I'll be returning this tool and going back to making cuts on my miter saw. I did try this tool out on some 3/4" PEX and it works great. It's just not designed well enough...

Makes it easy
Would RecommendI have used other PVC cutters in the past but this one is the easiest to use of any of them. Less pressure required which has taken the strain off one of the muscles in my right arm.
Good PVC Cutter
Would RecommendIt works great on 1/2 and 3/4 CPVC and PVC pipe. Cuts fast and straight on new PVC pipes. Great price!
Cuts Larger Pipes
Would RecommendWorked great for me. Very sharp. My old cutter only went up to 1" dia. This one will cut 1 1/4" ~ the size I needed.

Best Way to Cut a PVC pipe
Would RecommendI followed the directions and the tool performed exactly as I expected it would. Much easier than trying to use a hack saw on the pipe.
