PVC Fitting Saver with 1-½-Inch and 2 Inch Head Aluminum, PVC Pipe Reamer, PVC Socket Saver with 0.315" Hex Shaft, For Water Lines, Drain Lines, Vent Lines

Well made. A true gem of a tool if you need it.

awesome tool. Easily reams out old pipe so fitting is still useable. Makes repairs easy.

Worked very well to re-use a 1.5" elbow in the wall without tearing into the drywall. I ran the drill at low speed, constantly checking to make sure I was perpendicular (though I think the smaller diameter guide is long enough to prevent the drill from skewing too much), and even though I'd taped a depth mark on the cutter, I could feel it break through the old pipe and glue just before I reached that mark. The reamer did bind a couple of times but low speed helped with that, and it was not a problem over all. In the photo of the reamed elbow, I hadn't yet cleaned out the debris--what looks like a step where the reamer stopped is actually a loose ring that was the very end of the pipe where glue hadn't reached in the old joint, and it popped right out when I cleaned up the plastic shavings, leaving the bevel of the original fitting showing clean. I haven't used the 2" adapter, but it all looks well made, and the included hex wrenches do not have excessive play in the bolts that I could reach (not the one that secures the movable tool steel holder for the carbide cutter). I do wish there were some protective padding for the carbide cutter; I ended up cutting the bubble pack envelope the box came in to make a smaller padded sleeve for the cutter that still fits in the box, which will isolate the brittle cutter from drops or just jostling in a tool drawer.

This worked well right out of the box, You just have to drill it straight on and it cuts well.

This tool is great to have to clean out existing PVC joints. In my opinion, I think this ultimately pays for itself as you’re able to save money on buying more and more joints. It’s relatively easy to use, and it definitely helps in situations where you don’t want to cut existing plumbing and have to find a way to fit it back into its original state.

Got the job done but the fit afterwards was sloppy it should have two blades instead of one. The cutting blade isn’t angled or tapered so it’s really clunky and aggressive if it catches be prepared for your drill to twist on you pretty hard.

Had to pull the pool solar off of my roof, for a house reroof.Needed to save some of the 2" couplers.Worked well and removed the old pipe remnants from the couplers.A little rough on the inside of the coupler.The real test will be when I reglue the pipe and couplers together.Update will be in a month. I will update then.

Great little tool. Well made. Great to keep on you. Quicker than a trip to the store for one mess up. Don’t think it’s everyday tool but great to have in on you. Worry it. I personally like that it’s 2 in 1. If using a lot you may want to get one of each size. But overall I was very impressed.
