You can work in almost any environment, it only requires 4-6 inches of clearance around the pipe. Cuts cleanly, with no excess debris or chips. The tool is designed specifically for polyethylene pipe. The non-stick coated blade is durable and easy to sharpen or replace, and the small taper on the blade provides an easy start and smooth cut.
