KNIPEX BiX Cutter for Plastic Pipes, 20-50 mm, Cuts without Shavings, 2 Spare Blades Included, Pipe Cutter, 90 22 10 BK

It may seem expensive, but this is a high quality professional tool and the results are impressive. It’s very well engineered and accurate, spare blades are provided (and also available to purchase). If used correctly this tool generates incredibly clean symmetrical cuts but it’s important to read the instructions properly before use as technique is everything in order to maintain a clean neat edge!It’s important to first create a guide track with soft equal pressure, only then do you use the guide track to cut deeper (with increasing force) until the cut is all the way through. If you just grip it hard and twist it without making a guide first it will make an asymmetrical mess (user fault not tool).Also something to keep in mind is regardless of appearance, extrusions meander all over the place in terms of symmetry (a pair of Vernier callipers will illustrate that quickly). As the tool uses the circumference of the extrusion as the guide, any minor deviation in symmetry (fabrication tolerances) will result in a skewed cut. Again not the tools fault, but with practice and care you can produce consistent clean cuts (as neat a laser can)!

Used for 32mm pressure pipe and it made the whole thing effortless. Cuts are square with no chips and minimal burrs.Quicker and easier than any other method including power tools.I wish all my purchases worked this well.

This gives a nice clean cut when used properly. It needs a firm grip to cut straight and larger hands will find it easier to use when cutting wider diameter pipes That said, it makes the job easy and is a useful tool with a compact profile when folded shut.

Good Product

The media could not be loaded. After a million rough cuts on waste pipes finally invested in the bix. It makes neat cuts with no burrs and is very quick. If you do a slow past first its even straighter. Comes with two spare blades hidden away, once you remove the metal blade holder they are tucked underneath wrapped in paper so you cant lose them. I should of got this a long time ago, would have saved me ages. Tried it on 32 and 40mm pipe and works great.

Ok but tend to spiral if you’re not careful

"Does exactly what it says on the tin".One of the better plastic pipe cutters on the market as it won't crush the pipe whilst cutting.

I bought this "just in case" and the just in case happened a couple of days ago.I needed to cut some 32mm plastic pipe to very precise measurements to get it to fit beneath the sink. I did not expect the results to be so rapid and very clean edged. A couple of rotations and it was cut.I am never going back to a saw again.Something that will always remain in my toolbox.
