What Customers Are Saying

The tool is efficient at cutting various types of plastic pipes up to 2-3/8" in diameter, including PVC, CPVC, PP, PEX, PE, and POLY. It can make smooth, clean, and straight cuts with minimal effort. However, it may struggle with thicker or older pipes, and users have reported occasional difficulty achieving perfectly straight cuts, especially on larger diameter pipes. The blade's durability and availability of replacement blades have also been a concern for some users.

will not cut 2 inch pvc

Would Not Recommend

works great on small pipes. Will not cut 2 inch pvc. It gets about halfway with you applying lot of pressure then it breaks pipe

Cracks new 2 inch PVC

Would Not Recommend

I bought this to cut 1-1/2 and 2 inch PVC during a bathroom remodel job. Easier to get into tight spaces than a sawzall. Worked well om 1-1/2 inch PVC. But it cracked the 2 inch old PVC requiring use of sawzall. I tried on new PVC from Lowes and it cracked that too.

Meh

Would Not Recommend

I bought this specifically for use with 2 in schedule 40. Nowhere near a straight cut on the 2 in pipe. Worked great on 1.5 in and 1 in but would not recommend for 2 in.

PVC cutters

these 2 in PVC cutters work better than the Masterforge cutters and these Kobalt 2 inches work great for a single use

decent

Would Not Recommend

It didnt cut the pipes straight, it has a good cutting blade but once you try to make a circle around the pipe, it doesnt cut properly.

Works Just Okay

Would Not Recommend

Purchased to cut 2" PVC pipe. The cut was clean but could not get a straight cut. Did many practice cuts and every time the cut was not completely straight. Was able to file and sand to get straight but took extra time. Perhaps works better on smaller pipes but would not recommend for 2" pipes.

Works a treat

Would Recommend

I was hesitant about buying this tool after reading the reviews that stated it cuts crooked or shatters PVC. Well I had to cut some swimming pool piping that was buried underground.To minimize the amount of dirt removed I thought this tool was worth a try. It cut very cleanly and straight. Several cuts later, the pool pump was plumbed in. If you keep the pipe flat on the jaws and apply steady pressure with the blade handle through each ratchet step, you will get straight cuts. It is a nice piece...

BEWARE! Dangerous Product

Would Not Recommend

I rarely leave reviews but this product caused me to slice three fingers open and require stitches. I have used three other pvc cutters and never hade an issue. I bought these after my old Kobalt 1.25/1.5 blade broke and I could not find a replacement. This is the first pair of PVC cutters I have used with the "V" shaped blade. I attempted 5 cuts with these. Three of the first 4 cuts broke the pipe. I looked at reviews here which are generally good and broken pipes were mentioned, but sa...

Best cutter.

Would Recommend

Really cuts 2" and 3/4" plastic pipes with ease - just ratchet through the big stuff. PEX is a breeze! Pick up another blade so you have it. Never know if it will be discontinued. I have tools 20 years or older (55 is oldest)
