I use these on septic systems to cut poly pipe approximately one and a quarter inchThey work excellent for tight areas that I need them for they work unreal on hard pipe PVC and ABSI have purchased three sets of these now and use them almost every time I have a job

This is my first time using a PVC cutter but I needed it to cut some PVC pipe for a garden fence I constructed. The item arrived on time and is self explanatory. It cut through the PVC pipe in a matter of seconds. All in all I cut through 8 pipes in about 5 minutes. I highly recommend this product!

The tool cuts are perfectly straight and cut with ease

I am a licensed plumber. I work frequently with 2" schedule 40 pvc. I am excited to recommend and review this large up to 2.5" cutter by Airaj.My previous cutter was the Ridgid 2375 cutter that cost me $95 at Home Depot before tax, so over $100. It never worked that well but I thought this is what it is, either you deal with this or you get the hack saw. The Ridgid cutter would squeeze the pipe with great pressure and you can see the pipe actually bend before the blade begins to cut. This is because the blade lays flat across the pipe. Unless that blade is brand new it is going to squeeze and sometimes snap the pipe. In colder weather it's even worse. If you are trying to cut less than 2" of pipe forget it, get the hack saw because the Ridgid cutter will simply snap it. To make matters worse, the Ridgid pipe cutter has a cheap plastic clip that holds the handle closed when not in use. That clip broke within 6 months so these cutters are always wide open in my tool box with the sharp blade exposed. Finally, the Ridgid pipe cutter is very difficult to change the blade. I know their video makes it look easy but that guy is probably a magician and besides that he's working with a brand new tool. You have to push on one side and then press on the other. I couldn't do it, both sides were stuck. Lets see him try it with my old worn out tool.O.k. now let's talk about the Airaj cutter. First of all, at around $25 after tax it costs less than a replacement blade for my Ridgid cutter; yet the quality is apparently the same - it's all metal construction. Now the best part- look at my picture, look at that blade. The blade is not straight, it's a triangle, it PIERCES the pvc, not presses on it flatly. It instantly punctures the pvc and cuts it like BUTTER! I can cut 1/2" at a time if I want to without snapping the pipe! Next, look at the closing holder, it's made of metal. Yes, it can still break, but it won't break as quickly as a cheap plastic one. And if it does brake, I can get a paper clip or whatever piece of wire to go through the hole. Can't do that with the Ridgid! Finally, look at how easy it is to change the blade. There's a screw. Imagine that! Remove the screw and the blade comes out, Old tool or new tool, I know how to remove a screw. No magician tricks required.
