A plastic pipe cutter turns Saturday-morning plumbing into a five-minute job. The razor-sharp V-blade bites through PVC, PEX or CPVC in one squeeze, leaving a square, burr-free edge that glues up flush every time. No sawdust cloud, no shavings down the sink, no sand-paper touch-up. The ratcheting handle multiplies hand force, so you can slice a one-inch line while balancing on a stepladder without wobbling. A quick-lock tab keeps the tool closed in the toolbox, and the replaceable blade means decades of service instead of another disposable gadget. If you have ever chased a wandering hacksaw cut around a pipe, you will feel the instant satisfaction of one clean click and a perfect separation.
