anewbie Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Can someone recommend a good cutter for larger tubings? I did buy a random gizmo with lots of high ratings on amazon but it doesn't really do what i want since it assumes you are cutting more a pipe than a tube - event hat i'm not sure - it is just kind of clumsy. So instead of throw more money away i'm hopeful someone has cut larger tubes and has an actual gizmo they have used that works well and they can recommend. The primary difference between tubing and pipe is they are not rigid and most cutters seem to be designed around smaller tubing. Yes my new aquarium uses 1.5 inch for overflows and 3/4 inch for returns and i have *lots* of tubing to cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overkill, but it works. Does it work well on soft tubing or do you use it on pvc pipes ? This is the one i had purchased which seems similar and it doesn't really do what i want: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07Y997XKC Edited March 19, 2023 by anewbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darax Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 (edited) I used it to shorten uplift tubes. It might be too small if you need 1.5" Edited March 19, 2023 by Darax 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
