KwikCut makes lightweight ratcheting PVC pipe cutters for clean, square cuts in the field. The ratchet mechanism shears through pipe in easy stages, and a PTFE-coated blade slides through the cut and resists buildup.
Match the cutter to your pipe outside diameter - the line here covers up to about 1-5/8 in. OD, spanning common 1 in. and 1-1/4 in. irrigation PVC. A clean, burr-free cut seats fully into the fitting for a stronger solvent-weld joint.
