A nice tool, but still needs improvements

| Pros: | Best in its class |
| Cons: | Cutting action is flawed |
| Recommended: | Yes |
This tool has its quirks, but if you are a professional, you'll find it indispensable for work. It makes multiple cuts effortlessly when new and working properly. The description above says the trigger is variable speed, but none of my tools have ever had that feature.
However, I am on my third tool in three years. Once it becomes broken in, the cutting wheel may track or thread on the tubing. Wheel replacement is not simple and doesn't solve the problem. More of a nuisance, the tensioning springs become weaker with time, and cuts take twice as long. Then it can no longer cut type L tubing.
Also, there is a learning curve for aligning the tube into the cutting jaws, but that is overcome with the users experience and multiple usage.
Still, there is no better offering from any other tool manufacturer, even Ridgid, so it is your only option. I'd hate to go back to manual tube cutting!

| Pros: | so much quicker with 25mm copper |
| Cons: | much larger tool than I thought |
| Recommended: | Yes |
will save lots of time if using a lot of copper on site
probably not useful for only one or two small pipe cuts as you will use the hand cutter instead

Journeyman plumber here...I am always looking for things that save time. This is the tool I can make cuts all day with one battery. Probably saves me 20 minutes a day
