Great pvc pipe shears. Cuts like butter with no resistance. Did not know this product existed when I was working in a cold plunge plumbing project, but when discovered it in a big box store decided to look it up in Amazon. At half price, great and durable product.

It tells you how to use it. It works well. The blade keeps itself sharp enough to be worth its cost. The parts all wobble a little bit, but that's no issue for me. I really enjoy this PVC pipe cutter.

This review is written with those who don't need a one-off tool for a job. As a one-off tool, it's well worth the money compared to sawing.I bought this as an alternative to another model/brand I had purchased earlier (and am returning).All I need is a straight-cutting PVC tube cutter for 1" sched40 PVC tubing. I have about a hundred cuts to make. I'm making the support structure of my project out of that stuff, and sawing will get way too messy.I really like the ratcheting action on it. It allows you to adjust as you cut. That way you usually get a clean, even, straight cut, saving me hours, and a mess, sanding things flat and level. It does the job without causing me pain in my arthritic hands, too.The down sides to it would apply to those who want something hugely durable. It doesn't FEEL durable in a "I'll never have to replace it in my life" kind of way that many tools feel like. The ratcheting action is pretty loose, and the metal, while thick enough to do the job, isn't as thick, and the fittings as tight, as one would expect for a long-lasting tool.I think it'll last long enough to plumb a home or three, and MIGHT go longer, but by that point, I have the sense it'd be having issues. So for being "flimsy" (which may be a bit harsh of a word), one star off.Otherwise, for what I need, it's great, and I'd definitely recommend it to hobbyists and those who don't do plumbing for a living (unless you want a cheap backup!).

Used these to cut pipes. Worked great and the quality is sturdy. It was very easy to use and cut the PVC pipe like butter. It fits my hand comfortably and the locking system for storage is a nice plus that you only find on higher end models.

Cuts Like BUTTER. You won't believe the lack of effort involved with trimming pvc pipes. Well worth the price. Buy with confidence.

I am amazed at how easy this cut through schedule 40 PVC with a very clean cut. Great Product!

Quality build, cuts great, works well

I am preparing for a STEM camp and we are making pvc lamps- so I needed to cut down a lot of pipe into smaller pieces. I wanted something budget friendly - since I don't know if I'll ever use it again; These are a great price, come in a variety of color options, and are easy to use.The only con is that about midway through, my cuts were not as precise because the bolt holding in the blade had come lose. It was an easy fix- just tighten the bolt.
