2 in. Ratcheting PVC Cutter

The blade cuts sideways. It sways right and left, and it chipped on the fifth cut, literally. NO BUENO.

I used this to cut my abs 1.5 inch p trap pipes and my house drain pipes and they are mostly flat and sqaure cut. I do not know why it had a lower rating but it’s actually the only tool that eventually helped me, a not handy weak strength gal, that finalized my 3 p trap rebuilt and 3 drain assembly systems installation. I did them by learning from youtube. some of the youtube videos say this can’t get a square cut, but it’s actually not true. most of the cuts are sqaure, but probably not 100% 90 degree. it would have a little slope because it doesn’t stand straight. which isn’t really too big of a deal if you have more couplings and can adjust the angels slightly. Love this and great find!

Junk, blade broke on first use.

Bought this to cut 2 inch PVC , first time I used it and the pipe shattered half way through cutting it. Very disappointed . Don't recommend on 2 inch pipe.

Worked well for around 5 cuts to 1 1/2 sch 40 pipes. Then the blade just broke. Bought yesterday.

Professional plber here. I have had 3 different cutters in rapid succession due to the poor quality in manufacturing. These new "polymer" frames are complete trash. Unreliable, unsafe, and unimpressive. The mechanism to open the cutters is prone to failure. They don't cut particularly straight. I have cut myself numerous times on the blade trying to get them to open fully. A sorry replacment for the older metal.framed cutters

This is ok for smaller diameter PVC pipe, like 3/4” or 1”, but definitely not 2”. The blade flexes and wanders way too much for 2” PVC pipe, and you end up with a crooked cut. It works ok for 1-1/2” PVC pipe. Use these style of cutters if you’re in a tight space or are using small diameter pipes, otherwise just cut the pipes on a chop saw like a man and get on with your life. I’ve used these to cut DWV pipe, water supply pipe, gas pipe, conduit, etc.

Broke after 2 weeks of medium use

Disappointing, not 90° cuts, cuts like 1/4 off, does cut easily (1-1/2” schedule 40),

Disappointing, not 90° cuts, can crack pipe, does cut easily (1-1/2” schedule 40), but blade bends so I got a 79° cut instead of 90°, it cracked an older pipe, I was afraid to use it on a irrigation pipe repair because I worried after testing it that it would crack the pipe lengthwise.
