Reed Quick Release™ tubing cutters are the industry standard; most recommended by plastic pipe companies and most imitated by other manufacturers. Quick Release™ tubing cutters for plastic are the most practical cutters for small, medium, and large diameter work and feature sliding bars now with magnesium for added strength. They cut clean with very little burr. Field tests show that Quick Release™ tubing cutters with Reed OP2 or 30-40P cutter wheels are excellent for use on ABS pipe.
