Thank you for the awesome review! Never had to change the blade so this was the first time I’ve seen it actually being taken out and put back. Thanks! 😎👍🏼

As you said these tools are great for small PVC pipe diameters. Here in NYC, PVC is allowed for certain size homes up to 6 stories for drainage only and lawn sprinkler work. This can vary from county to county and local ordinances. Overall great tools to have regradless👍. Kudos from NYC🗽.

What do they allow in NYC for supply lines?

[@em4me-Dan]

@@projectpinehills Copper for residential and commercial soldered or crimped on fittings and PVC or ABS for medical special equipment such as example dental chairs, dialysis, etc. Most of the work I have done required Schedule 80 PVC threaded only as solvents and glues were not allowed. Depends on the manufacturer of the equipment and their requirements.

That's interesting, I figured Copper would not be allowed and PEX or CPVC required. Thanks for commenting!

My personal opinion both are goood for different materials. But to be really honest i would say use the ratcheting cutter for harder pipe such as sch 40 or 80, and the manual cutter for aqua pex piping cause its softer

[@projectpinehills]

I agree, thanks for watching!

When using RC 1625 rachet cutter On say 32mm plastic it buckles the pipe out shape and it's a struggle to get the pipe to fit into a fitting

[@projectpinehills]

Yeah that’s 1.25 inches, that makes sense. Thanks for watching!

Very nice video, thank you. For me and what I am trying to do (just a pvc frame for some shade sails) it is too expensive, I hope i can find something cheaper to use from time to time.

[@projectpinehills]

Let me know what you come up with. The cheapest thing would be a saw.

luck sometimes helps

You created a link to what appears to be a copper pipe cutter. It’s not large enough for PVC pipe.
