I needed to cut a 3/4" copper line that goes vertically into the ground. The cut I was attempting to make was a few inches above a 90-degree elbow, which was about 12" below the ground. It was only about 5" away from the concrete foundation and there was a large bush with extensive roots in front of it, so enlarging the hole was not an option. I bought a cheaper version of this product (from a different manufacturer) without the hinged piece, and I was unable to clamp it onto the pipe. With any letup in force, it would pop off the pipe, and I was never able to get a cut started. Consequently, I was skeptical of this cutter, but since it completely enclosed the pipe, I decided to give it a try. Anyway, it worked! I was able to close the hinged piece and clamp it onto the pipe. Because of the position of the pipe, it was somewhat difficult to get enough leverage to turn the clamp, but with some effort, (probably around 8 complete rotations) it made a nice clean cut.While it is more money, I highly recommend this model over others without the hinged back piece that completely encloses the pipe. It is very difficult to get those other types to clamp onto the pipe.

Have not used my newest 3/4 " cutter but the 1/2" one I have worked very well in a very tight situation after having an issue pulling the old brass olive on a job where it was used 4 X.

Would recommend. Close end pipe cutters that will get into tight spaces. The blades had stayed sharp for a while for me and I work in the trade. Will probably pick up another soon. They're durable as well and had gotten rusty but work great.

These are the best pipe cutters I've found for working 1/2" or 3/4" copper water pipe in close quarters or tight spots. Just snap them on over the pipe and rotate till cut No need to adjust the cut as with other conventional cutters. Might take just a little longer than those cutters that have adjustment screws but if you can get one hand into the work space, you can get it cut.

I have been purchasing the 1/2 inch and 3/4 inch copper pipe cutters since they started making them. They work really well in tight spaces saving a lot of time and frustration. I would give them a five star if I hadn’t had a few of them over the years open/spread apart at the center seam causing the cutting wheel to off track.

I have both the 1/2 and 3/4, these are better designed than any other close quarter pipe I've seen. They just work

Before purchasing this I tried a cheap cutter from a big box store. That thing danced along the pipe, never cutting in the same line. This one clamps down and doesn't move. Only took a few turns to cut through the pipe. Nice little cutter for tight spaces. My pipe was up against the sill plate the house sits on.

Works perfectly. Used in limited space “in-wall” area cutting 1/2” M gauge copper. Handy, very easy to use. The standard “C” style cutters were inconvenient and went off track.
