Works great but it is not intended for use on old PVC that has had a lot of UV exposure.
5 Stars
Works great but it is not intended for use on old PVC that has had a lot of UV exposure.
You will need to use some type of saw to cut PVC that has been exposed to the sun for a long time because PVC becomes brittle from UV light and will shatter when being squeezed under pressure. This cutter will work perfectly on PVC that is still pliable. I had 1-1/2" PVC pipes that I installed back in 2012 running to an index valve and this cutter shattered (as expected) all 3 pipes that were above ground, however it worked absolutely perfectly on the underground portion of those pipes. I replaced my sprinkler index valve with individual valves so I made a manifold using various fittings and probably made about 30 cuts on 1-1/2" pipes. The cuts were all straight and clean which speeds up the installation time as well as not having to worry about clogging your sprinklers with plastic debris. This cutter also made it easy to cut the pipes as they lay in narrow trenches since all you need to do is place the pipe in the jaws and pull the trigger. The tool has a button for forward and reverse as well as a button to pop the blade open to the starting position. The entire cut process takes about 4 seconds and saves a lot of hand muscle from using manual cutters. Mine came with a standard case and a battery but I wish they offered a Packout case version.
