works great when used properly; no instructions! Sep 15, 2010 By Rion
I recently used this tool to remove a muffler from a pipe. It worked very well. The key benefits of this tool are that it is quiet, it requires no power to operate, and it allows you get much closer to mufflers and other objects compared to a sabre saw or sawsall.

The bit problem here is what I have seen with other Lisle tools: the marketing folks don't understand what they are selling and hence screw up the packaging. In this case, there were absolutely NO INSTRUCTIONS, and if the buyer does not have any previous knowledge of pipe or tubing cutters, they may get very messed up and disappointed.

So here are some instructions! Unscrew the handle so that the tool can placed on the pipe to be cut. Make sure the tools is positioned such that it can rotated AT LEAST 1/4 turn around the pipe. Tighten the handle so that the cutters contact the pipe and just slightly more. The tool should feel snug, but rotate easily. Apply a few drops of cutting oil (penetrating oil can be used). Rotate the tool around the pipe and then pull it back to the original position. You will notice a very thin line in the metal under the cutters. Tighten the handle approximately 1/8 turn to maintain the original snug fit, then rotate back and forth again. Repeat this process of tightening and rotating until you cut through the pipe. Expect something like 5-10 iterations. You will probably find there is a small section that didn't cut all the way through at the end, but either wiggling the pipe or a few strokes with a hacksaw will break it all the way off.

Poor Quality Tool Dec 16, 2009 By Pennsylvania "Reviewer"
I purchased this product to cut a seven year old 2 1/2" tailpipe. It was unable to cut the tailpipe and the tool actually failed before a single successful cut. The tool is poorly designed and one of the arms collapsed as the tool was tightened around the pipe. I can not recommen this tool. It may work better with a 2" tailpipe or smaller. The tool is too fragile to be considered a serious automotive speacialty tool. Lisle makes great products, but this is not one of them.

Great Tool May 08, 2012 By G. Campbell
I finally got around to using this exhaust pipe cutter,it worked very well.
Be sure to use lubricant on the pipe, tighten the handle 1/4 turn for every revolution.
It took me about two minutes to cut a 2" exhaust pipe. Take your time.
The tool is sturdy enough for occasional use.

exhaust cutt off tool Apr 10, 2012 By sterling
I worked great for the first cut but did not do so good for the second and third. I was cutting stainelsss and it was twice as think as the oem that came out of he vehicle. I would recomend it for 2.25in and below diameter. Cutting wheels did not look like they could be repalced either.
