      Q:Can this cutter also be used on softer materials (PVC / CPVC / PEX)?  Thank you!

      Answer This Question

      A:  Close Quarter cutters are meant for copper tubing but in a pinch you can them for the other pipes. Using them for pipes other than copper could cause them to crack during operation.

      by|Jul 7, 2022

        A:  Hi, this is only able to cut hard and soft copper, aluminum, brass, and plastic tubing.

                  The only tool for the job
                  I’ve been plumbing for over 28 years and if I’m cutting small tubing this cutter is the only one I’ve had and used. Still have the first one I bought. Worth every penny!!

                            Decent cutter
                            I’ve gone they about 10 of these tubing cutters, the c clip that holds the handle and spindle keeps falling out. It’s very frustrating. I bought a pair about a month ago and they are already broken. I’ve replaced them countless amount of times and it’s always the same issue. I really like the cutters, but when they break I wanna throw them in the lake!!
