What Customers Are Saying
The Kobalt PVC cutter is a sturdy and effective tool for cutting various pipe materials, including PVC, CPVC, and PEX. Users report that it makes clean and straight cuts with ease, thanks to its sharp blade and ratcheting mechanism. The tool is particularly helpful for those with weaker hand strength. Some minor issues were noted, such as the blade occasionally cracking or crushing the pipe, and the lock mechanism being too easily disengaged. Overall, the cutter is considered a high-quality and convenient tool for DIY plumbing and home improvement projects.

Would Recommendfinally upgraded to a better quality pvc cutter. needed to use on some PEX pipe, a little concerned because it was a small sink line, but it cut it precisely, a clean square cut.
Great product!
Would RecommendNothing
Perfect for cutting 1/2” CPVC
Would Not RecommendCut quickly; easy to use.
Not just for PVC pipes.
Would Not RecommendI bought this for my brother to cut some pipes for me and after I used it to cut some rawhide bones. worked like a charm.
Cuts but not anywhere near straight
Would Not RecommendSave yourself the return Cuts but not straight enough so you will end up cutting again with something else
Cracked PVC Schedule 40 Electrical Conduit
Would Not RecommendBusted/cracked schedule 40 electrical conduit. This may work for plumbing, but I learned the hard way for electrical. The conduit costs more than this tool.
will not cut 2 inch pvc
Would Not Recommendworks 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 RecommendI 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 RecommendI 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
Its looks nice
Would RecommendIts was easy to install.
decent
Would Not RecommendIt 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.
