General Pipe Cleaners ATC12 1/2-Inch AutoCut Copper Tubing Cutter, Black, Orange

I already had several other cutter for copper pipe cutting but bought this one for tight space and slimmer minimum length design. All I can say is this is a much better design. All you have to do is keep rotating clockwise no need to adjust screw every few turns. The cut is also very clean. Highly recommended.

I was very nervous about cutting my copper pipes for a DIY project, but this tool made it so easy. Simply snap it on your pipe and make sure it "clicks" shut and begin to turn in the direction of the arrow printed on the tool. Turn 20-30 or so times until the pipe pieces separate (don't stop early when it feels ready to pull apart, keep turning until the pieces physically come apart). It's basically impossible to not get a straight/level cut because of the way the tool grips the pipe. I did some practice cuts on some sample size pieces of copper, and I could not tell the difference between where I'd cut and the other end of the pipe each time. It will fit in a tight area easily, and it doesn't require much effort to twist. I can't think of any way to improve the cutter; it's designed perfectly.

Way better than the traditional pipecutters.

I used it to cut a 1/2-inch standard copper pipe that my tub spout goes over. Got really good cuts both times that didn't require much deburring.

Tool works well and can get into the tightest of spaces. There is no country of origin marking on the tool which means it's probably made in China.

I love this tool! I have always struggled to cut a pipe inside a wall or in a confined space, and reaching the tightening knob on a standard cutter was always a challenge. Click this easy-to-use tool onto the pipe, turn it around a few times and you get a nice clean & straight cut. I don't know how I ever got by without it. Definitely recommend...

This is great for cutting a lot copper pipe quickly without having to manually tighten a cutting wheel. It works well in tight spaces and I also like how it completely closes around the pipe for a better hold.

Easy to use even in tight locations.

I love this tool! It's so easy to use and simple and cuts perfectly. Very happy with my purchase from general and I will deffinately be buying more in the future! Thanks for creating such a well functioning, and lightweight yet compact tool!

As a plumber I thought this looks like a tool for cutting pipes in hard to get places. It does not cut all the way through the pipe, you either have to try to snap the pipe or use a 2nd pipe cutter, don't waste your money

Bought these for 1/2inch copper in Aus. Cutters are way too big.Says 1/2inch and 13mm on them but our 1/2inch 15mm copper is too small for it?? Waste of money

Product works exactly as advertised

this does not work on Australian 1/2" copper tube. It seems the US 1/2" tube is bigger than ours.Its on its way back
