AIRAJ- PVC Pipe Cutter | Cuts up to 1-3/4" (1.75'') | Ratcheting PVC Cutter Tool | PEX Pipe Cutter | V Shaped SK5 Steel Blade | Suitable for PVC/CPVC/PP/PEX/PE Plastic Pipe Cutters

Nice tool. Helps with nice cuts when you have to fabricate a replacement piece of pvc pipe.

Awesome rust prevention on this one. I used it to demolish some PVC pipes that were no longer needed. Also a couple other small things. Accidentally left it outside in the weather and it was still looking new after spending a month or more being outside in the rain. Wiped it down and put a little bit of oil in the joints and moving parts and it looks great and works great too. I’m very impressed and pleased with this incredible inexpensive tubing cutter and expect many years of use from this tool. I will really try to keep it in my plumbing tools box and out of the weather from now on

works OK. I haven’t used it a lot.

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.

One of the best cutter hands down. I switched to this cutter about 5 years ago and never had an issue. I use it to cut mostly 1-2" HDPE so if the blade dulls it doesn't matter. Forget buying expensive store brands. These are not just cheaper but stronger. The blade lasts just as long as a ridged for the same price as a blade you will get a better tool.

I had to replace my pool pump filter. I have zero skills in piping, so I started with a saw. After one attempt at cutting, I found a tool (not this one) that has a tiny blade that will cut through piping. After 5 cuts with that, the blade broke and the replacement blade cut in spirals. So I got this pipe cutter instead. The cuts were very quick and pretty accurate. I have a few cuts that were at a diagonal, but I attribute that to user error. I highly recommend this ratchet cutter!

Used 10 times. Jammed during cut and had to be cut off as ratcheting system broke. Blade dulled after 2-3 cuts of 1.5” pvc pipe. Waste of money.

The blade is not sharp enough to cut a 1-1/2 inch pipe. The pvc bends before the blade makes it through the cut. Impossible to get a straight cut with this tool. Do yourself a favor and buy a name brand one or use a mitre saw if you are cutting anything more than 3/4 inch or so.

Better unit than ones with straight blade way easier on hands. Cuts HDPE 2in IPS Dr11 like it’s butter!

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

Tip broke

Got it, tried and had a big smile on my face, easy to use, does not take much strength to use and cuts right where it is supposed to

The tool cuts are perfectly straight and cut with ease
