AI Review Summary:
Across retail reviews, buyers praise the cutter’s compact size for tight spots and its smooth, clean cuts on copper tubing. The knurled knob control and included spare wheel are frequently cited positives; many note durable construction despite the small form factor. Some users mention it takes multiple rotations and patience on thicker-walled tubing, and a few report the small size can be harder to grip for larger hands. Representative quotes: “Perfect for tight spaces behind walls,” “Cuts copper like butter—spare wheel is a bonus,” and “Works well but can be slow on thicker pipe.”
