Pex Cutter

The Libraton ratcheting PVC pipe cutter is a genuinely impressive tool. The build feels solid in your hand, the ratchet mechanism engages cleanly, and it slices through PVC, PEX, and similar plastic pipes with very little effort. Even at larger diameters, the cut stays straight and smooth without crushing the pipe. The handle action is comfortable, the blade tracks well, and the whole tool feels like it’s built for real‑world use rather than light hobby work. For plumbing projects or general home repairs, it delivers exactly the kind of clean, predictable performance you want. A dependable, heavy‑duty cutter that earns its five stars.

Cuts pipe cleanly. Can not get very close to the end of it will shatter. But works great

This tool seems well made for informal/DIY use, at least. It is easy to use, acceptably fast, and cuts a clean line with no PVC "dust". My only derating is for the resulting cut squareness at times. Small pipes are generally fine. But on a two-inch cut, the opposite sides of the final cut pipe walls might be 1/10th to 1/8th inch out of square. The cut is clean and smooth, but sometimes the blade seems to want to tilt to one side during the ratcheting strokes resulting in a mild but noticeable wedge to the end of the cut pipe. It's not enough to ruin the glue joint, but it's not always square in the fitting. Since most DIY work is 1.5-inch and below and there's no cut residue, this tool stays in the plumbing go-bag for sure.

If your a plumber cutting tons of pipe a day, this tool is probably not heavy duty enough. However, if your just a DYI'er, who only needs to cut pipe once in a awhile its great IMO. I had zero problems at all with it cutting 1" and 1 1/2" pipe. Cuts were easy, clean and reasonably straight, better than I could have done with a hack saw or reciprocating saw. Also, no shaking of the pipe at all, like a saw would have done, as I had to cut a couple leaky joints out that were in place, I didn't want the whole pipe vibrating like crazy.

These cutters were bought for my work, the size, sharpness and weight are all great, very easy to use. Comfortable to use and a good value for the money. The Stability and cut quality are above expectations. Recommended!!

Old PVC pipe cutter's blade failed after about 15 cuts due to teeth that moves the blade failed. Decided to purchase this higher end replacement. This cutter had high reviews, so spent more money to get better tool First use was to make a couple cuts in 3/4" schedule 40 pvc tubing After just the second cut the tool failed. Operating the squeeze handle failed to close the blade This was exactly the same failure that my previous cutter had. Poor design, the cutter functions by moving a very thin blade by engaging teeth on back side to lever. The teeth wore down in the first use. After extensive research, it seems most PVC cutters use this same poor design. The cutter "gear" wears away with little use. Did not return because it was not worth the effort to drive to the closest drop off center, and determined other cutters, despite the price, were no better because of the similar poor design of the blade operation. Lots of better ways to cut PVC pipe: Hack saw, SawsAll, Skil Saw, Miter box, and Battery powered Cutting tools. Note: I purchase a lot through Amazon and have always been satisfied - first unsatisfactory experience. This product deserves my Rating of 1 Star

Work perfectly for what I needed it for

Strong tool, works well. Better than the version they had at the big box store.
