mobiledynamics Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 I'm not a plumber but did buy the copper cutter...just because I needed a tool fix. It's great in that you don't need to turn a tubing cutter, but speedwise, IMO, it takes just as long on it.Just mainly saves you on the wear and tear on your body.... The advantage I can see is in tight spots. As well, just to how it *autofits*, there is a slight learning curve when putting the copper inside the tool so that it sits inside the *rails* as the circular cutter cuts. Hard to explain, but when you use it, you'll know what I mean.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryNY Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 Yup, not s plumber here but I have an old house and lots of tight spots where a manual tubing cutters would have been a pain and I didn't want to vibrate the pipe with a sawzall potentially disturbing old things and the M12 tubing cutter works great. It's especially nice if using sharkbites because it leaves a nice smooth burr free edge. I'd echo what mobiledynamics wrote above that there is a small learning curve to acclimate to how the tool works. I'd just get a piece of copper and practice cutting a few cuts before making any critical cuts for real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteW Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 i had actually talked with the plumber i work with about that tool last week, they said its worth its weight in gold, for them they sweat houses every week so they are cutting a lot of copper and they all have one. its nice to just press the button and its cut. also the pvc cutter is great too!
