Would Not RecommendCutters work but not really good for 2" pvc
Needs a better handle latch
The handle latch is poor quality. Be very careful handling this tool. My friend cut his finger deep just reaching for the tool.
Terrible
Would Not RecommendDoesn't cut through 1 1/2” PVC pipe. It squeezes it until it cracks. Absolutely not sharp enough. Will be returning.
blade won't spring back
Would Not RecommendDon't be fool it is not lifetime warranty. Lowe's customer service do exchange.
PVC Cutter Review
Would RecommendThe Kobalt PVC Cutter worked well but must have a strong steady hand to guarantee a straight cut.
Saved me so much time
Cortes perfectos
Would RecommendCorte limpio y facil
Not worth the money.
Would Not RecommendBlade became dull after one cut.
Worked well
Would RecommendNeed a large hand to use
Nice to have but not a must have
Would Not RecommendIt does make it easy to cut up to 2 inch PVC pipe but it doesn't make a clean 90 degree cut. It does do better on smaller pipe as I was also cutting 1 1/2 inch pipe as well. I tried it on some older pipe and the pipe broke before it cut. I found using a saw worked best. This tool is nice to have but not when you want to make a straight 90 degree cut.
Cuts PVC pipe
Would RecommendWorked great and cuts straight. Ratchet design makes it easy to use if you are affirmed or not strong. Was a bit pricy but performed as it should.
Won't cut it
Would Not RecommendBought to cut a 2" PVC pipe. Wouldn't cut it!
Good tool.
Would RecommendWorks as it should!
Does not cut straight
Would Not RecommendBrand new, fresh out of the package, this does not cut either 2" or 1 1/2" PVC SCH 40 straight. Waste of money, would not recommend this - would return it had I known before opening it.
