108 customers mention functionality, 79 positive, 29 negative
Customers find that the saw works well, particularly in tight spots, and one customer mentions it performs excellently on inground irrigation pipe.
...This tool works great on taking a couple of inches off the horn so that it does not grow into sheep's head....Read more
...Then I found my self in a tight spot and remembered I had this...IT WORKED GREAT and got me out of a tight jam.Read more
This tool does not work. I tryed cutting a piece of cpvc pipe and it would not leave a mark....Read more
...saw a groove into the PVC with a hacksaw for the cable saw to sit, works well, seems sturdy.Read more
37 customers mention ease of use, 29 positive, 8 negative
Customers find the saw easy to use, with one mentioning it requires very little space compared to clippers.
Easy to use but the wire balled up after use and is essentially worthless after cutting 2 pieces of 2” PVC.Read more
Great for tight spotsRead more
Very easy to use, worked excellent to get behind a pvc pipe in the wall. Cuts fairly straight and fast.Read more
...It was painful on my fingers to use. I think this probably works well on straight, smaller pipes, but not on a bend or larger pipe.Read more
89 customers mention cut quality, 43 positive, 46 negative
Customers have mixed experiences with the saw's performance: while some report it cuts through PVC pipe with ease, others mention it doesn't cut at all or find it difficult to use.
Totally useless, not sharp at all, does not cut. It's just a piece of 1/32" steel cable. No cutting/abrasive material at all. Total rip off.Read more
...cut with a traditional blade, but once the cable is in the cut, it cuts well....Read more
Doesn't cut. If you have to score before you use this, what's the point.Read more
...would work for a plumber in a bind. for nice clean cuts, look elsewhere.Read more
60 customers mention quality, 30 positive, 30 negative
Customers have mixed opinions about the saw's quality, with some finding it excellent and worth having on hand, while others describe it as horrible and a waste of time.
I'm not a plumber but this has been a great tool when I've need it. Good price...>>BUY HERE<Read more
This is not a saw. It's a piece of 1/8" aircraft cable with plastic tubing for handles and some of the cheapest aluminum crimps I've ever seen....Read more
It is a great product, but the only issue I had that it will snap/rip after few uses. I wish it would last for multiple uses.Read more
...That is probably why the photo on Amazon is such poor quality to hide the smooth wire. DO NOT BUY. JUNKRead more
31 customers mention value for money, 18 positive, 13 negative
Customers have mixed opinions about the saw's value for money, with some finding it good for the price while others say it's essentially worthless and not worth 10 cents.
I'm not a plumber but this has been a great tool when I've need it. Good price...>>BUY HERE<Read more
What a waste of money! I'd have had an easier time using dental floss or a butter knife. Terrible.Read more
GREAT PRICE AND WORKS NICE!Read more
...In other words, it's not a saw, not serrated, and hence a total waste of money!Read more
90 customers mention breakage rate, 13 positive, 77 negative
Customers report significant issues with the saw's durability, noting that it snaps in half and breaks before finishing cuts.
Wire is very thin and breaks easily...Read more
...Then it broke. Had to finish the cut with a paid of linesman pliers holding the other side of the wire. Would not buy again.Read more
snapped in half while cutting a 3 inch piece of PVD drain pipe... was more work getting the half that was stuck in the pipe than just using a hacksawRead more
Broke on first use. Don’t waste your money!Read more
24 customers mention wire quality, 4 positive, 20 negative
Customers have mixed opinions about the wire quality of the saw, with some appreciating the fine metal cable while others note that it is very thin and not serrated.
Just a smooth wire..had to go find my hacksawRead more
...Well it doesn't work. It's nothing more then a fine metal cable with a loop at each end. The cable is to long to get the friction you need....Read more
The one I received was not serrated at all. It was just a plain and smooth cable which would not cut anything at all. Maybe a manufacturing error?Read more
...i want to say this is not a serrated cutting cable .This is a regular wire cable .It just don't cut anything its a regular weight cable .I will...Read more
23 customers mention wire tangle, 3 positive, 20 negative
Customers report issues with the saw's cable, noting that it becomes tangled, kinked in multiple spots, and forms a tight corkscrew shape.
...However, when I finished, the cable was twisted into a tight corkscrew shape and is totally unusable. Glad I only needed it for one cut.Read more
This is just a braided SS wire. There is no abrasive aspect to it. It operates totally on friction with no cutting edges. It melts the plastic....Read more
...the first 3" PVC pipe - and it cut it quickly, the wire was kinked in multiple places and would not glide smoothly over the second pipe....Read more
Cheap, I was better off using an old hoe saw. Cable material easily twisted. Not even worth the effort of returning. Threw it away.😡...Read more
