This is a really great pipe cutting tool. It cuts PEX pipes like butter. Spring tension and recoil are nice and soft. Unlike other PEX pipe cutting tools, this one is not made of plastic, has a nice metal handle and is not heavy. in it I want a really straight and smooth cut. When I tested this cutter, it left a small rounded edge. After some practice with this tool, I finally got an even and smooth cutting edge. So just be patient and take your time with it. It's really worth the money and price.
