      Answer This Question

      A:  I believe this was for plastic pipe.

      by|Jul 21, 2022

        A:  No, this pipe cutter will not cut metal pipe. This pipe cutter is for use with flexible plastic pipe only, such as PEX, PE-RT, HDPE, vinyl tubing.

          A:  This is meant to cut softer material, in this case it’s for cutting PEX tubing. It would not work to cut metal. You need a cutting tool with a cutting wheel on it. 

          by|Jul 25, 2022

            A:  No, it's for plastic/vinyl pipe/tubing.

              A:   No. It wouldn’t cut any diameter metal pipe or tubing.

                A:  I have not had that problem. Sharkbite can be finicky sometimes so I would return for replacement.

                by|Apr 1, 2021

                A:  I would not leave that bit of plastic. I always trim it off smooth with a sharp knife or razor blade. Don't leave it chance. Take a couple more seconds to ensure you don't have a leak.

                A:  Make sure you take a little pressure off at the end of each cut, also remember to rock the cutter slightly up and down. I got good clean cuts in both new 1/2” PEX and PEX service lines that still had water in them.

                by|Mar 31, 2021

                  A:  Don’t waste your money it’s junk and it’s cheaply made!!

                  by|May 4, 2022

                  A:  The cut should be clean with no burrs or lips

                        Simple, Effective but Watch Out They Bite
                        Slices through PEX quickly and without any fuss. So long as the pipe is square on to the cutter then a perfect, burr-less cut is virtually guaranteed, time after time after time. Beware though it will nip your palm if you hold the tool incorrectly.

                          Pipe Cutter
                          This pipe cutter is for PEX pipe ONLY! I'm just assuming that all the bad reviews of this product are the same results of why I ended up with it. hopefully this review will save people from the same trouble as me as the product only specifies in 1 tiny place that it is for PEX pipe.

                              Fantastic and easy to use. Using these made me feel more confident about my cuts. These cutters do make it easier because they have a thick ledge to hold the pex flat while you make the cut. Very handy and big time saver. I made my own manifold behind the hot water heater with these cutters.

                              Cheap Tool Results - steer clear
                              Cant seem to cut 1/2in pex straight. Returing product to get a ratcheting style or other. I would steer away from this tool. Im a DIYer and perfectionist and going from copper to pex is a dream but this tool is a headache.
