Ratcheting Pipe and Tube Cutter

I have never owned one of these tools, but have had the need for one on many occasions. I received it just in time for a job in my home requiring the cutting of PEX tubing. This tool worked flawlessly and made perfect cuts. There were no instructions on its use in the box, but its operation is pretty intuitive. It took me a little while to figure out how the ratcheting mechanism works, but once I did, using the tool to cut PEX was easy. From what I can tell, the quality is quite good despite being a Chinese product. The blade arrive very sharp and unbent. At the current price of $14.19 on Walmart, it's a good buy, IMO.

Pros
  • The cutters can be used to cut pipes in awkward or hard-to-reach places, making them a valuable addition to any plumber's toolkit
Cons
  • Could generate excessive heat during cutting
