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.

Worked great

Would Recommend

Needed 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 Recommend

I am a relatively inexperienced plumber. This cutter made very clean, perpendicular cuts with minimal burrs. I could not have completed my project without it.

Rubbish for CPVC

Would Not Recommend

Can'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 Recommend

This 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!

Used 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.

Brass craft 1 1/4 inch pic pipe cutter

Would Recommend

Cut 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 Recommend

I 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 Recommend

I 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.

Cuts Larger Pipes

Would Recommend

Worked 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 Recommend

I 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.
