General Pipe Cleaners ATC12 1/2-Inch AutoCut Copper Tubing Cutter

This copper pipe cutter is excellent and easy to use. Nice square, clean cut to the usual 1/2" copper pipe used in water distribution to home sinks, showers, faucets, etc.

I already had several other cutter for copper pipe cutting but bought this one for tight space and slimmer minimum length design. All I can say is this is a much better design. All you have to do is keep rotating clockwise no need to adjust screw every few turns. The cut is also very clean. Highly recommended.

Works great.

This cutter is so incredibly easy to use and really leaves a beautifully finished cut. The cuts are straight and precise, ready to use with a quick deburring.I'm honestly surprised I waited so long to own one of these cutters but I'm certainly pleased to now have it in my arsenal of plumbing tools.I plan on purchasing additional sizes and also the very efficient ratcheting handle.Great tool, highly recommended.

Works great, quick and clean cuts!Well made, should last years!

This cutter is really designed for tight spaces and can be a real lifesaver. For years while working as a plumber I found it more handy to use than the large conventional cutters. Naturally, it has drawbacks, but they aren't huge. That is why I give it 4 stars.Pro's: Simple to use. Clamp on and twist (trick, follow the arrow for at least a turn, then try reversing a bit, then going forward a turn, reversing a bit... etc. It works faster with less burs)LightweightGood grip (when dry)Strong/Well built (I have many that are over 10 years old)Fast (When used with my technique, I can cut copper pipe in a few seconds, much faster than other cutters)Con's: Hard to change the blades out (but not impossible, and the blades are very cheap to buy)When wet, they are hard to start at times.Cuts are not always without burs. (you still must debur, sand, etc...)Overall, if you do a lot of copper work, whether plumbing, or hvac, you need these tools. Be aware, they are not adjustable, so if you are cutting specialty copper, these will take a while. I don't recommend for extra thick copper or "soft/rolled" copper.I will continue to recommend and if needed, buy more in the future. Auto-cuts have a definite advantage over other knockoffs that feature an open design. They just aren't as good at staying put and slip off, which is dangerous.

Don't know how I had worked before without this cutter. Easy to use and fits in very tight spaces.

Exactly what I needed. Would purchase again.
