I'm working under the house in a crawlspace with no more than 2.5-3 feet of headroom. Hands down, this is the best tool I've found to cut 1.5" ABS pipe. It should cut 2" pipe just the same. Unfortunately I have difficulty cutting current sections of pipe out, as duct, copper water line and structural joists prevent me from rotating the tool all the way around, but that's not the fault of the tool. Don't waste your money on a ratchet cutter unless you know of one that doesn't slip and/or warp the ABS. Get this guy.

This is a no-nonsense, commercial-quality tubing cutter. I'm not a professional plumber, but I am a retired engineer and I recognize quality design/manufacturing when I see it. This cutter is a joy to use. The four support wheels (each 1+ inches wide) ensure secure contact and tracking over the full range of tubing sizes it handles; the spring-assisted quick release has enough tension to retract the cutter but without enough force to jar it out of your hands or to pinch a finger. It's a little heavy -- the components are all cast or machined-steel -- but I think its mass makes it easier to handle. This is a bench-style cutter; it isn't a tool for tight-quarters nor are you likely to use it lying on your back (I will admit, however, that my "bench" has more than once been my leg in the 30" crawl space under my house). I have a half-dozen other tubing cutters I've acquired over the years; except for tight-quarters work, I never use any of them since I bought this one. If you're using this cutter on plastic pipe, Reed sells deburring tools that ensure perfect glue-ups every time; their DEB-4 model works with the larger tubing sizes that this cutter handles.

It is amazing, works perfectly, can't be improved upon. ...I don't think.

Product works as described and is of good quality. It is spring loaded with a quick release. It does not come with a spare cutting wheel.

Heavy duty tool that has one additional blade included. It aligns well, cuts clean, and give you great square joints. Far better than saw. Takes very little time to make a cut. Would highly recommend to anyone doing pvc work.

Gives you a straight cut

The Reed TC3QP made the day with a plumbing project to replace a diverter valve on my swimming pool. It gave me clean cuts, while doing it quicker and cleaner. Though the compression burs still needed to be sanded down on the outside since I did not have a deburring tool for outer edge of the pipe. Its long handle made it difficult to work in close around other pipes. I wasn't able to do the job solely with this tool, but I was able to clean up cuts with it once the pipes were free to be recut. It is very durable, I know it will be around for a long time. Unfortunately, when cutting a 3 1/2 " pipe near the edge with thin pvc walls, it would compress the plastic and get off track. Had to use a hacksaw in that instance to get my straight cut.

Find it hard to understand why a package isn't verified before shipping.. Missing the pin and cutting wheel. Now I have to return.

It's a Reed tool. Those who have used Reed tools know that you don't need to say more. Five years later and still works like a charm!

Expensive tools are usually worth it since they will last a lifetime, but also do a quick and good job doing what they are designed to do. Since I'm not a plumber, it will last me 5 lifetimes.

It's a good quality tool. The spring wasn't attached to it, it was in the box so unfortunately I lost it.
