Pipe Tools
The right cutting tool turns a 20-minute repair into a 5-minute one — and a rough or angled cut into a fitting that never seals right. Shop pipe cutters, saws, and replacement blades sized and built for irrigation pipe, from ratchet cutters for clean poly cuts to fine-tooth blades for PVC, so every cut is square and ready to glue or connect on the first try.
Pipe Tools
A clean, square cut matters more in irrigation repair than it gets credit for — an angled or crushed cut edge is one of the most common reasons a fitting leaks even after it's glued or clamped correctly. Ratchet-style pipe cutters give you a straight, even cut on poly pipe in one motion, without the crushing you get from a utility knife or standard shears. For PVC, a fine-tooth saw or blade designed for plastic pipe avoids the chipping and burring you'd get from a wood-cutting blade, and leaves less to clean up before deburring. If you're cutting pipe regularly across a range of diameters, it's worth keeping both a ratchet cutter for smaller poly lines and a saw for larger PVC runs on hand, since neither tool does the other's job well.
