I recently started a project that should have been done more than a year ago. House had roughed in piping and wiring for a built in vac. Anyway, I needed to install piping to the main unit. I hate cutting ABS/PVC piping. No matter how hard I try, I could never cut the damn things perfectly straight using hacksaw, lol.

I was at Home Depot looking for fittings when I saw this............

RIDGID 1-1/2 in. ABS Cutter-41703 - The Home Depot

Holy carp, one motion (you get good at it after a few tries) and wham, bam, thank you, Ma'am......... perfect cuts with no burrs. You can buy replacement blades, but probably not needed unless you cut a few hundred pieces.

I thought the thing only does PVC, but it does ABS, as well. Only drawback is it only does one size of piping. My pipes were 1-1/2", so I got the 1-1/2" version.

I know there are all kinds of other types of pipe cutters, but this thing is, by far, the easiest to use.
