Choosing the best pipe cutter for your needs will depend on several key factors. Most importantly, it is essential that you select a pipe cutter which can cut the material or materials that you need cutting, whether this is brass, copper, aluminium, or another material. First off, these pipe cutters allow you to cut pipes larger than 2 inches. A standard pipe cutter will be very effective for smaller pipes, but are useless for larger pipes. An internal pipe cutter is able to cut upward of 10 inches, making it much more effective for large pipes. Internal pipe cutters are also relatively cheap compared to manual and ratcheting pipe cutters. The most useful aspect to an internal pipe cutter is that it allows you to cut PVC pipes that are in the ground and in tight spaces.
