I bought the 1/2" version years ago and loved it. Just got the 3/4" version to remove some old pipe. I can't believe more models don't have the "door" to snap over the pipe. Makes a big difference! I'm very happy with mine.

I love these cutters Julio. I have the 1/2 Lennox and the 3/4 Autocut. I prefer the Autocut design. Now I know how to change the cutting wheel thanks to your video. Keep the tips coming. Love your channel! Eddie.

I bought a Milwaukee 3 pack with a case 1/2", 3/4", 1". They work well enough for me and I just started plumbing 5 weeks ago. The case also holds extra cutters and a reaming pen. All in all a very awesome product to have available because I can keep my cutters safe and organized in my tool bag.

the ratchet handles, are simply wonderful, they make things easier to do. in a tight spot.

Not bad cutters, but after 30.5 years of cutting cooper pipe. I bought the M12 pipe cutter tool from Milwaukee that thing works great for me. Good video.

Love my AutoCutters, thanks for the recommendation!

Excellent video. I appreciate the information. Wish I had seen this before a big job in close quarters!

Been using them for around 20 years LOVE THIS TOOL👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

The Auto Cutter's are my Favorite ones to work with, Great video bro 👍

Once my Lennox set wears out I'll give these a try but I'm enjoying my m12 Milwaukee coppee cutter

Looks good, I like the ratchet feature too. I just hope they use quality plastic and not some junk that cracks apart after a couple years. Then again I'll never be doing enough plumbing in my life again that I'll have to to be buying more tools than I already have so I guess it doesn't really matter to me anyhow.

FYI you can get that 3 piece Lenox kit for $47 at Menards.

I really like those cutters too. I did not know they had a handle for them. Great video!

Nice, that is indeed a very nice pipe cutter. Nice addition to the tool box 👍

I M H O the AutoCut is an excellent choice for the D i y er they're so easy to use & produce excellent results take so little room also relatively inexpensive 😊

Wow!! Thanks A Million!!!

Only reason I carry the adjustable is for TP pipe since it’s odd sizes

Sold!!! thank you buddy

thank you, yet another great video. I like all your videos.

Great info as always.

I detect a french haccsent tabernac! Very nice video. Tanks. ;)

Thank you for the helpful information.😊

Love them cutters been having mine for already six years

Thank you for all your useful information

They are pretty cool. Did you see the Ridgid 2in1 tubing . It does 3/4" and 1/2". Pretty good cutter. It was like $34 but we'll worth it🤘

You are really thorough

These are great except for not making straight cuts. Not always a big deal for sweating, but having a decent right angle on the cut is valuable for lots of use cases. I've tried 5 of these and not one made a straight flush cut

I got the Milwaukee close quarter cutters and I hated them. Not because they were bad but because as an hvac tech we measure our copper pipes by outside diameter where plumbing measures inside diameter. I’ve come to realize all of those close quarter cutters are made for plumbing. I have to stick to the adjustable ones for now sadly

Awesome I am getting one of those Thanks

Gotta get one of these! Great vid!

Sold me! Thx!!!

Thank you. Very nice tool.

Hi can you make a video about hot water return line please

love them great review enjoyed the video

when I am replacing the self tapping screws, I turn them anti clockwise, gently and hear or feel a click, then I turn the screw in, so that it picks up on the original internal thread

I really need this

Great video! The cheaper version (without the door) is $6.99 at harbor freight! 😁 Also, you said "pop in the shaft". I think I know who you were referring to there...🤣🤣

Great video! Great information for people

YOU ROCK!!!! DVD:)

I have three of the Autocuts in my toolbox. 1/2", 3/4" and 1". They are great for all tube cutting, not just close quarter. But, those are my back-ups. The tube cutter I use most is the Milwaukee M12 copper tube cutter. Cuts copper pipe up to 1" in about 6 seconds. I picked up a refurbished one a couple of years ago. It cost me 50 bucks for just the tool only. It takes a little time to get used to centering the tube within the rotating cutting assembly, but once you got that down, you 'll wonder why you ever cut tubes manually. Have you used one, Julio? Just curious. Anyway, everyone should have the Autocuts in their plumbing toolbox. Excellent tool!

Lol, I have called rigid and talked to the designers about making oval knobs on their small tubing cutter. I cant believe that they haven't changed the design.

I bought one of 1/2 cutter for 3.00 Dollars in Florida USA.

Thanks

Good stuff

why don´t you use the Milwaukee® M12™ Copper Tubing Cutter instead

I can never seem to get the pin out to change the blade so I have about 20 of these , I have gotten to where I just consider them a consumable on the job. Also the leave a ridge on the outside of the pipe which eats up time on the job using a file to remove, and these cutters where only used on a small job once before the job I just did. just purchased the Milwaukee ones, and they do not leave a ridge but they take a little getting used to. any tips on the ridge problem, like I said I don't think the blades have much use on them to be the problem.

hey knipex man. nice vid. and nice knipex pliers wrench in your tool box. all u need now is a fluke 85 and u r golden.

Only problem I have with the auto cut is that it won't cut all the way through soft copper, my cheap Harbor Freight cutter cuts all the way through soft copper.

Hi, I’ve seen people cutting PEX with that general pipe cleaner cutter, is it good is it bad? It gives straight cut but not sure if it is good to use it for that 😅

what r the disadvantages of cutting with a grinder with metal disc ?. once you cut it, debur, clean it ...does it make any difference ? i am talking 1/2 or 3/4 copper pipe. yes you could cut at slight angle by mistake ..but the pipe is 1/2" into fitting anyways once soldered. thoughts ?

is the 1/2" copper tube pipe 1/2" on the outside diameter, or 1/2" on the inside diameter on the copper tube, where I am it is named 15mm copper tube / pipe which is the outside diameter, with a wall thickness of 0.7mm, inside diameter 13.6mm for half hard temper.copper tube. we have an equivalent tube cutter, but when I used it, it dented the wall of the copper tube a bit, which I did not like, this was years ago, so may have been improved ? I was using imperial size copper tubse, when I first started plumbing, it was a heavier gauge then. General RH12 1/2" Autocut Ratchet Handle, General RH34 3/4" Autocut Ratchet Handle General ATC12 1/2" Autocut Tubing Cutter General Wire Spring ATC34 3/4-Inch AutoCut Pipe Tubing Cutter General ATC1 1" Autocut Tubing Cutter are good., if you have enough space between the tube, and the wall, it's a shame they don't make the pipe clips longer, and life would be easier, and more functional. your videos, are great, well worth watching, thanks.

For the sizing, do they cut 1/2 inch outer diameter pipe or internal diameter etc? Would be interested in using them in Australia

This is probably a stupid question but I would rather be safe than sorry. Can this be used on pvc pipe?

Do they still sell the "General Pipe Ratchet Handles"? Couldn't find them. thanks

Unfortunately the ratcheting handle looks like it's no longer available on Amazon.

Great video! Where do buy the ratchet handle? Do you have a link for it as well?

AutoCut ratchet handle in the video is different than the one offered now

I bought a 3/4 autocutter but it is deforming the copper to where I can't cut it completely ;_; the diameter looks like a triangle on one side but the other side only experienced a little deformity. Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

I find that these cutters make a small dent in the end of the pipe.

I have a 1 inch pipe to cut. Do they have in 1 inch??

How do you align the autocut to the cut mark?

where do i buy a ratchet wrench for the 1/2" auto cut ?

Do these cutters work on EMT pipes?

Are they plastic? I know the Lennox are metal and seriously tough. I'm hesitant buying any plastic tools

👏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🤗🤗

Do they not have 1inch ?

how can I find the handle from 0:14?

I have checked most of your videos and your link for the 1/2 inch of auto cut doesn't work. Give me a new affiliate link so that I can buy one.

How much

C’est pas un plug ça? 😉

:)

The newer open cutters are best, one in the thumbnail sucks

This video sounds like propaganda after finding one major weakness: it is more likely to spiral than shear. Of course this happened at the most stressful moment possible: in a tight spot, the first time I tried to use it. Beware of videos that are long on praise and short on critical analysis.

Haha the "best" cutter... You compare the crapiest cutters you own with this piece of shit? That tool will say goodbye in notime.

Only thing i hate about them cutters is the giant fucking burra they leave
