Interesting. Can you help us understand why this option that much better than traditional options?

You simply squeeze the trigger, and the pipe is cut in 2 seconds.

I used this for cutting the pvc for my tank, worked great and a much cheaper option.

They also make another version that handles up to 2” diameter.

You can buy simple ratchet ones for much cheaper, cut through the smaller diameters of pipe easy and square. These are suitable for pretty much anything used for aquariums, especially in thinner schedule. My choice generally is actually a multi tool, the cutters are too unwieldy and I can make super quick cuts in situee with the latter.

Bigger pipe, 2 or 3” I’d be grabbing the saw. Then 4” + then my weapon on choice is an angle grinder with a slitting disc then a flap disc for the chamfer.
