Review: Perfect for slab shower box - Awesome durable Love them! (my fault) I’m on my 3rd pair of these cutters first purchased 11yrs ago - great quality, blade replacement is quick and painless Blades themselves hold edge n still cut straight even after misuse Lol -strong durable cutters -used as cutters hammer fitting prybar box tab cutters u name it I’ve put them thru it only time I’ve replaced is when the throat wears enough doesn’t seem to cut straight but stills cuts right thru pipe with ease …..that said not that great on 2”sch40 press.pipe but cuts foamcore like butter one handed
Review: Pricey but easy to use and works well on plastic piping. - This thing really works well. It is costly and the replacement blades are expensive as well (something like 35 USD per blade) so not the best tool for heavy/professional use, but perfect for a DIY project. I used it to cut some schedule 40 1-1/2" ABS pipe for our new bathroom vanity plumbing and it cut very well and easily. Edges were clean and no filing necessary. The only criticism I have at all is that it is designed for up to 2" pipe and so smaller pipe will not fit/fill the contour of the curved metal holder that well, making it harder to center it for a really straight cut. With some practice it became easier but still not easy to make a perfectly cross section type cut. Nonetheless, this beats using a sawzall, hacksaw, dremel, or other tool. If you have space and a work bench with clamp, a sawzall is perfectly fine but this tool is still easier and can be used in tight quarters (e.g. I used it to cut existing pipe under the sink). Excellent tool overall and it made my vanity installation that much easier so 5-stars from me.
