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!

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.
