It's not for big pipe,and if you work it right with the correct oil you just might be able to keep this cutter in your toolbox for 45 years. It's not designed for large diameter wall pipe, but in a jam I bet if you take it slow this cutter will do what you ask of it."
"I was cutting PVC in my basement watching TV with my kid and wife and my wife did even realize how I was cutting the PVC because I was so quiet with it."
"Actually used this to cut a galvanized gas pipe."
"Have also tried it on PEX, but a bit harder to get good cut (ratchet cutters seem to do better on that)."
"I bought this to cut down Intermetro posts and it worked like a charm on 4 posts."
"This is a really nice pipe cutter."
"Clamp it down, turn, tighten,repeat as needed, finish the cut."
"I have used this tool to cut a lot of EMT conduit for various projects."

"I generally use these to clean up small wiring like telecom or when i am doing small board mount soldering and i need to clean up some jacket issues or even small overflows of solder."

"I literally keep one of these about every two feet on my twelve foot bench so I'm never more than arms reach away from one."
"I tried to cut ducting wire which is really thin but very springy and it managed to chip the cutter."
