We had a leak in one of the pipes in the basement ceiling. My husband wanted to use an electric sawz-all. Hmm..a leaky pipe over your head, using an electric tool, water left in the pipe after turning it off, cut the pipe - BUZZZZZ! Very bad scenario! My daughter told me about this pipe cutter. Amazing! A simple snip with this tool, a shark bite connector - tada! No more leak! This is a MUST HAVE tool for any homeowner!
