Tubing Cutter

I've used this tool to cut aluminum tubes so far. Cuts over 2.5" diameter tubing with no issues. Like others have said, the parts didn't appear very stable. Tolerances in the cutting wheel and arm that the wheel attaches to were not good out of the box. Very wobbly. But once a pipe is clamped in, it cuts true. Just start with light pressure to do an initial score around the pipe and you're good to go. The arm extends and retracts very smooth and quick. The cutting wheel can retract completely into the handle for max diameter pipe cutting.

Used to shorten SS table legs, worked perfectly good quality tool

Awesome for cutting 1-1/2” foam core abs: cut edges came out spot-on straight, square and very clean requiring just minimal de-burring on the inner edge. Much faster than using a saw, and much straighter results than with a ratcheting shear type pvc pipe cutter.One limitation is that it doesn’t work as well with solid core abs (and I would assume other solid plastics): while it cuts foam core ABS pipes very quickly and cleanly, when I tried it on a solid core ABS pipe of the same diameter, it cut very slowly (requiring about 30 times more rotations around the pipe). With solid ABS pipes, it tended to heat up the pipe at the cut causing the very edge at the cut to melt and swell up by about half a millimeter—just enough to require having to use a sharp blade to trim off the swelling to allow the pipe to fit into a fitting. Still a straight cut through solid plastic pipes, but requiring more work than with foam core ABS pipes.Overall, I’d still give this tool five stars: I purchased it to cut foam core abs DWV pipes, and it served that purpose perfectly at a very reasonable price.

It did NOT come with one extra rollerblade like it stated on its box. It cut fine, but a piece of the cutter chip off a little, but still cutting other metal pipes I have. I use it to cut off my Cat exhaust pipe from my car.Quality Over all is Pretty Good. 4.2/5 starz.

I didn’t expect the size on this too to be so big, but I am impressed, exactly what I wanted and great price, works very well for all the size pipes I encounter!!!!

It works kinda ok due to low quality materials

Works

It did exactly what I needed it to do. And I lack strength and dexterity. Heavier than I thought, but great all the way!
