Worked for my needs
I recently bought an office chair that had very aggressive lumbar support. Due to the design, I was unable to remove it and it was too tight for a saw. The lumbar support holder was 2 inches of thick hard plastic. It was able to get through about 1/2 an inch of it then the cable broke. I grabbed a glove and held the shredded side and went at it again. It broke again about at the 1-inch mark. I repeated these steps with the other half and got to 3/2 of an inch and by then I could just rip it off with my hand. I didn’t want to upload any pictures as to miss lead people into thinking it’s junk and broke.Did it work for my odd job? yes, and it was worth the $6.Would this cut through PVC pipe? Oh easily and efficiently. I would reckon it would be great for light home projects. Would reccomend!

Works with a caveat
I bought this to cut a pipe off flush with an already installed Y joint in a plumbing drain system. It’s impossible to start the cut precise with this so I used my sawzall to cut a small straight line in the pipe where I wanted to start. After that this was able to cut thru the 1.5″ PVC pipe in about 5 seconds. Does warp the wire but I used it a second time with no issues. Even if it was 1 and done it was still worth the $5.

Did its job but, broke on last cut.
Thankfully it gave up on the last cut. But it was only good for one project. About 12 cuts maybe 13. ð¤ through 1.5 Inch pvc. I didn’t think it would bite as well as it did and it cut a pretty straight line. For $5 it did its job and I didn’t have another plan for it but would have liked for it to have lived a little longer.

Works, but donât plan on multiple cuts
I needed to cut one piece of 3 inch PVC on my rainwater collection system. Like others, I couldnât get it to start the cut. I used another saw to make a small starter cut and then was able to finish the job with this saw. However, when I finished, the cable was twisted into a tight corkscrew shape and is totally unusable.Glad I only needed it for one cut.

Doesn’t work well on large pipes or bends.
I had a 4″ PVC elbow at my sump pump outlet that needed to be cut. It was right against the house so I thought that this would be good. The cable kept getting stuck, and it eventually broke. It was painful on my fingers to use. I think this probably works well on straight, smaller pipes, but not on a bend or larger pipe.

It cuts PVC and quickly but…
If you have a quick job and are really just going to use it for that one quick job, its hard to see oneself investing in a pvc cutting tool, especially when you need the right size. This old standby has always been a quick, cheap, and easy way to cut pvc pipe. It takes seconds to do and can be done easily. Here’s the deal. Its not easy to cut with this tool either straight or with precision. I tend to think of this as more of a rough cut tool where you have some flexibility in the length you’re trying to span.Would I buy this again? Absolutely, I have in a lifetime bought this same type of tool 3 times. And I’ll probably buy it again, but because I’ve only needed it in a pinch. An actual pvc cutting tool however will cut clean, quick, and ON your measurement line in a straight line, IF you invest in the tool.

Takes a minute
The hardest part is getting it to stay in place while you get a groove going. Once a groove starts, this wire heats up the plastic and gives a quick, clean cut. Saved my bacon on a 4″ plumbing line a previous person botched super badly.

It takes up no room in your tool box, and when you need a straight cut where a conventional cutter wonât work, this likely will

Hace cortes increÃbles

Everything about this looked good until I needed it to work – unfortunately for larger diameter (+90mm) uPVC the steel cable is too smooth, so difficult to get a start and then really did not cut at all. It may work on smaller diameter PVC pipes and conduits due to getting a tighter encirclement, and I guess in a tight spot without any other options one may use it as a last resort and be very thankful- so perhaps good to have in the bottom of the tool box – but I wouldn’t buy it again.

It cuts great but overheats during the cut so that the PVC pipe seals again after so itâs like the cut never happens.
