IWISS
A State Full of Burst Pipes? Yes, it's Texas. You need a plumbing tool to rescue your household supplies. Don't wait for the plumber to come! The winter weather nightmare that swept through the state last week cut off power and heat to millions of homes that were never designed for frigid temperatures. Up and down the state, people were driven from their homes, or came back to find them badly damaged, by pipes and valves and tanks that froze and burst.

PEX pipe typically works best with insert fittings using a copper crimp or stainless steel clamp ring around the outside of the pipe to hold the fitting in place. Because PEX always wants to revert to its original shape.IWISS and its sub-brand manufacture all sorts of tools that work with copper rings and stainless steel clamps. We are intended to offer high-quality and effective products at a reasonable price, save your budget.

The pipe cutter is made of rubber-textured handle, which is more comfortable to use, reliable to hold, and not easy to hurt. At the bottom of the tube cutter, there is a stainless steel buckle for easy storage. When you don't use it, you can shrink the handles on both sides and lock the security lock to save space and prevent accidental injury.The professional pipe cutting machine adopts ratchet drive technology, which greatly saves your energy and is simple to operate: the one-handed quick pipe cutting tool with ratchet drive can cut less than 2-3/8 inches (63 mm).

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.

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.

Great tool, good quality but I put somewhat of more pressure than usual on the cutting wheel and the cutting wheel broke. I’ll buy a new wheel but geez. Not specifically about this tool but a pvc tube cutter like this has its place when square cuts are crucial like floor drains, clean outs , or cow tongues. Sometimes I don’t even carry my sawzall and just use this tube cutter along with my reed deb4. The build of the tool is excellent only disappointment was the 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.
