Kobalt Pex Cutter

Would Recommend

This Kobalt pex cutter cuts up to 1 inch and feels really good in your hand, i believe this will cut down on hand fatigue. You can also replace the cutting blade.

Great pex cutters

Would Recommend

I have always used straight blade cutters for both pex and poly. That type of cutter always crushed the tubing especially on poly. The kobalt pex cutters sliced through both pex and poly pipe very cleanly without deforming. 1/2” pex wouldn’t cut really square as the jaws are to large to keep it stable. Large poly pipe cut straight due to it fitting the jaws. Either way the cut is extremely clean. These cutters are well worth getting if you have even a small amount of tubing to cut and then keep ...

Quality Cutter

Would Recommend

I used this to install an under sink water filter and this thing cut the supply lines like butter. It will cut up to 1" OD and is backed by a lifetime guarantee. As a homebrewer, I also use this to cut vinyl tubing. The blade is easy enough to change and it makes a great addition to your plumbing toolkit.

Easy to use

Would Recommend

This review is for the Kobalt Up to 1 In-in Pex Cutter Pipe Cutter. This cutter is for rubber, plastic tubing and PEX-tubing; it is NOT for PVC or CPVC or any other type of thicker walled, hard plastic pipe. It is very easy to use and did not require a lot of strength to cut a piece of PEX tubing (and I’m a little old lady).

Kobalt PEX Cutter

Would Recommend

I received this product to review and it worked very well and cut thru the PVC pipe like Hot Butter with NO problems at all! The only "negative" comment I can think up is that this Kobalt PEX Cutter can be used for 1" OD pipes only! If it was a little larger it could be used for more applications

Pex Pipe Cutting with Comfort

Would Recommend

Usually I find something to criticize on products that I check out, but I can not find anything to complain about with the new KOBALT PEX Cutter. The first thing I noticed was the comfort of the grip. The soft textured handles, shape nicely into the palm and fingers of my hands. This Cutter has so many useful features that make the PEX pipe cutting job easy. The tool “close lock” can be accessed with the thumb while gripping the tool. Replacing the blade is supper easy with the sliding lat...

Fast Cutter

Would Recommend

Tested this cutter on rubber, plastic hose and small polyethylene. Works great on all. It looks very similar to a pvc cutter, but it couldn't cut pvc, Pex blade is much thicker than the pvc cutter blade. It gives a perfect 90 degree cut on the soft rubber hose by using a slight twisting action and it could do it up to the one inch limit. Definitely replaces my old method of razor knife that only a steady hand, flat surface and a lot of practice can you cut at a perfect 90 degrees. Pictures sho...

Kobalt Pex cutter

Would Recommend

The kobalt pex pipe cutter is a useful tool if you are installing or having to do work on pex plumbing, it has a good clean cut and the blade on the cutter is replaceable when it gets dull, the best part is if you have to work on pex up to 1 inch in diameter so you don't have to go get another cutting tool. The cutting tool also does a good clean cut that is burr free
