        Diego, best advice ever. I have the Klein version cause I'm an electrician, but I couldn't imagine cutting PVC with a tubing cutter. I hate those things.

          yep, that dedicated cutter for pvc works absolutely great. I agree, a tubing cutter would be a pita!

              The tubing/copper pipe cutter goes up to 1.5 inch dia only takes about 3 twists and it is cut. 11 bucks . I have used the PVC cutter also. About the same to me.
              Use what u like. Just saying better than plastic shavings everywhere from a saw.

                      Why not just a small hand saw? It's not rocket science.

                          Hand saw can take a minute or more to cut, the above cutters cuts clean through in seconds.
                          Who's bending over these days?

                          Isn't technology awesome?
