Would Not RecommendDo not buy. Ratchet function slips and hurts your hand..
Useful tool
Would RecommendThis is a great tool and it worked wonderfully, but being a novice, there were no directions and we had to google how to use it. Maybe some basic directions on the box would have been handy.
Easy!
Would RecommendMuch easier than using a hacksaw!
Does what it is supposed to
Would Not RecommendIt does what it needs to. My disappointment is the clasp that holds the handles together. There might as not even be one there. It is a poorly designed clasp. It does not work or stay in place to hold the handles together for storage. I currently use a zip tie to hold it together when this is not in use.
Crushed older PVC
Would Not RecommendThese did not work for me. My CPVC is old and just cracked when I tried to cut it. I returned it and purchased one of the C shaped cutters that worked well.

Great results Great price
Would RecommendI enjoyed the easenofnuse and rachet feature. Work as described at an excellent price.
Not a quality Product
Would Not RecommendPoor quality mechanics of this pipe cutter. In cutting pipe, the ratcheting mechanism fails to catch each time and feels of loose. I had one from a discount tool store (HF) and it had a better feel than this does.
Works great
Would RecommendWorks great, comes in two sizes. Works perfect for day to day cutting PVC.
Great Product!
Would RecommendCuts PVC and vinyl hose with ease and straight!
Works as advertised
Would RecommendWorked great for a small plumbing job I had. Much better than the older style pipe cutters
Only use as directed.
Would RecommendWorks as intended.
Bad for PEX, but good for everything else listed
Would RecommendI specifically bought this to use as a PEX cutting tool, which is I've of the materials listed on the package. It will easily cut through PEX, but it is terrible at it. The cuts aren't straight, so it is not suitable to use on PEX of you're looking for straight, even cuts. It does cut through PVC and other more rigid materials that it lists just five, though.
Better cutter than most for PVC
Would RecommendExtra sharp and accurate
Quality
Would RecommendNice quality
