A: Technically, Electricians can't use a tubing cutter that leaves a burr. the one cutter electricians have doesn't cut all the way through, but scores the emt.
Save your money on this tool. I have 3 of them. Between all 3 that no longer cut, Iv'e done less than 500 cuts total and none of them cut copper tubing. Just spin and spin.
Junk.

A: No, this is not recommended being used on electrical CONDUIT EMT.
by|Sep 3, 2019
A: Quick answer is no for several reasons. I can't even cut copper with the 3 that I have.
Electricians are not allowed to use a tubing cutter that will leave a burr inside the emt..
There is a tubing cutter that scores the emt and then you snap it off.
Save your money as this is junk.

Answer This Question
A: If your talking about EMT, as in electrical metal tubing or conduit the answer is a definite No. the jaws won’t get stay tight enough to cut steel. This thing works great on copper though.

A: I’m not sure what met is. Emt? Like electrical conduit?
by|Apr 19, 2019
A: What is met?
by|Apr 17, 2019
A: Don't know what MET is but, if you mean EMT then, no this tool is not meant for anything but copper tubing.

A: It can but I believe met is ips size so in that case you could only do up to 3/4 and you will be changing the teeth more often

Q:would this stand up for cutting EMT pipe for electrician work?
by|Mar 7, 2019

Answer This Question
A: NO it only good on copper
by|Mar 9, 2019
A: It would cut it but for how long
More wear & tear on the cutter
I use the hand tubing tube cutter a lot but it wears out the cutter fast.
by|Mar 10, 2019
A: No. It absolutely will not. I didn't believe them, so tried it for myself. All it does is dull the blade. It didn't even make a scratch in the conduit.

A: The tool works great, has great power and battery life. I would be more concern about how long the blade would hold up against a stronger metal like emt, being since copper is a soft metal. My opinion the tool would work great, the blade probably wouldn’t but you could always just replace the blades as you go or just install a conduit scoring blade. (I use the Klein 88906 comes with an extra blade)
by|Mar 8, 2019
A: hi
sorry but it won't cut EMT pipe , it's only made for copper piping and it works great doing that

A: It's probably not covered under the 5 year warranty.
They are all defective.
I have 3 that are all broken with less than 500 cuts between all 3 of them.

Q:Would this work with flexible gas lines such as titeflex, or would the rubber outer layer cause issues?
by|Oct 26, 2018
5 Answers
Answer This Question
A: I have not tried to use it on flexible gas lines, but don't think it would be an issue. The rotating head should cut through both layers.
by|Oct 29, 2018
A: It won’t work it’s made for copper or metal will take longer to cut the metal out but it’s actually for copper You can try it but is not guarantee
by|Oct 28, 2018
A: It doesn’t work with gas piping or any sort. Only works with copper.
by|Oct 28, 2018
A: No. The tool is made for solid copper and aluminum lines.. it would tear the flex pipe versus cut it
