What are the types of pipe cutters?
One-handed pipe cutter | |
| The single-handed pipe cutter is a small hand-held cutter in the shape of a wheel. It is used with one hand when working in small or hard-to-reach places, such as behind a toilet. | |
Ratchet pipe cutter | |
| A ratchet pipe cutter has a head similar to a one-handed pipe cutter with a permanently attached ratchet handle. However, unlike a one-handed pipe cutter, a ratchet pipe cutter allows for some adjustment in pipe size. The ratchet pipe cutter does not have to go 360° around the pipe to make the cut, so it is useful in very small or tight spaces where multiple pipes are close together. |
Adjustable pipe cutter | |
 | The adjustable pipe cutter has a screw handle that allows you to use any size pipe. When rotated, it moves the cutting disc backwards or forwards depending on the size of the pipe being used. An adjustable pipe cutter is handy if you frequently cut pipes as it fits a variety of sizes and thus saves you the hassle of buying multiple tools. |
Electric pipe cutter | |
 | An electric pipe cutter has a small, battery-powered motor that, at the push of a button, drives a wheel around the pipe being cut. This is useful if you use a pipe cutter frequently as it cuts pipes quickly and effortlessly. |
