Fork tube cutter

This tool did the job that other pipe cutters wouldn’t do! The steel on these handlebars is heat treated very well and they don't cut easily. This tool allows you to get a perfectly even clean straight cut where it would be much harder using a saw or cut-off wheel. This thing stays in place where you clamp it which is very helpful when you’re cutting something expensive and want it to be precise and not look like a crack head hacked it off! If you’re looking for a tool specifically capable of cutting hardened steel handlebars or forks, this is what you need!!!

Cuts my handle bars the way I wanted

I have noodle arms and the upper body strength of a toddler but I felt like a boss being able to quickly remove 10" from a too-long curtain rod, rather than packing everything back up and returning it and getting a shorter one. Get a pipe cutter now, before you need it! Also, keep it in the box when not in use and be careful how you pick it up--this buddy is SHARP.

Worked great on an aluminum 1 1/8 steerer tube. If not familiar with tubing cutter like this, 1 rotation direction is usually best, other can lead to small spirals off initial mark, so very lightly tighten up and test which is best direction - usually cutting wheel following pressure wheels, if that makes sense. Then to prevent metal squeeze up increasing diameter slightly, only increase tension very slightly each 2 rotations. I still had slight enough press-out that headset cap could not slide on. De-burrer on tool is not useful for anything of bike size, will need half-round file for inside, flat side for giving an angle on outside. 1 star off due to a noise on first use from cutting wheel rotation (not rough edges on stem), not sure what that means to longevity, but I'm not cutting forks often anyway (first time needed), so...

Just follow the instructions. Start one way finish that way and it will glide thru pipe. Sturdy, great value easy to use

We were thoroughly impressed by this tool’s performance. It handled cutting our IKEA metal bed legs with remarkable ease and precision.

I cut the aluminum steering tubes on two new forks for my bikes. The cutting wheel was already fairly chewed up after the first, which made cutting #2 a less than ideal proposition. The first cut was reasonably clean; the second required a lot of coaxing and then deburring. The cutting wheel was toast by that time. I wasn’t ultra-aggressive with the cuts, either, having used smaller tubing cutters many times for copper pipe. Thankfully there’s a spare wheel in the handle, but one would expect a bit more longevity from a tool like this.

I've had some thick pipes rotting in my yard forever because I didn't think I could safely transport them in my truck, they were far too long and heavy -- if they slipped out, it would be very dangerous. Some were double the length of my truck. These pipes are the diameter and thickness of heavy fencing (thicker and heavier than those used in home singsets, more like the industrial materials used in older playground equipment.) As you can see, it actually was a little too thick for this blade (you can see the blades edge actually can't go all the way through the pipe but it still did the job). This did require patience but it works! I would reccomend this for anyone's miscellaneous toolbox. I cannot express how glad I am to get these pipes gone (safely). This tool is like getting your first power drill or bolt cutters, you'll wonder where it's been all your life!

As advertized. Heavy duty, scores the metal til it cuts off. The edges werent burred, but a little sharp but not enough like a knife. Get a deburring tool to pair well with this. Tested on 3/4 emt. (Steel conduit) I wish the end had a hex head so you can tighten in close to surface areas

Bought the blue to cut a steel golf shaft. Never cut a shaft before and afraid I might screw up. Well I needn't worry as this cutter was up for the job. Couldn't believe how easy it was. 3 turns was all it took. Perfect tool for my purpose.
