I am also a master plumber with 40 plus years experience, Yes I have used a hack saw several times to cut copper pipe for various reasons which I cant remember why....I recently used a multi tool to cut a combo into a 3" dwv copper stack cause it was tight against a wall , worked pretty good and more controllable than a sawzall... I may have to try it on a boiler heating pipe which is tight to wall which I have to cut a tee into , actually thats why I am watching this video , to see if there are ways I haven't used yet... even with 42 years of plumbing and mechanical work under my belt I am always open to info and methods I may not be aware of... Thanks for video.
You’re welcome sir.
I support you against the haters. Thanks for the good video!
The haters are funny actually. Thanks for watching
Excellent advice for those of us who do not have specialized tools! Love the tag line at the end.
Licensed contractor of 15 years here. Was looking for best methods to cut copper when it’s tight against a stud….sometimes it might be ugly but that’s all you can do. Probs going 12v Milwaukee method with this one. Thanks for the reassuring vid.
Your welcome. Thanks for watching
Love the info and sense of humor. Thanks
Thank you. It’s nice being appreciated. Thanks for watching
Thanks
Fuck the haters I have loved this channel ever since you started it it’s great for homeowners fuck them haters don’t worry about them you’re doing a great job sir
thank you so much! sawsall it is
When in doubt whip it out. Sawzall for the win. Thanks for watching
Great vid man….ignore the neg comments….seriously…..don’t even mention them….just do your thing!
I hear ya. But it’s kind of fun calling out the trolls.
really enjoyed it. I need to cut a really heavy piece of copper pipe, 1 1/2 inches, what would be your suggestion for that?
They make tubing cutters that large but if you don’t have one then a sawzall with a fine metal blade or even a hack saw will do it.
Dremel could do it. Certainly not ideal but if it's what you got its what you got! :)
Very true!
What are your thoughts on using a rotary tool with saw blades?
Never tried it in copper I’m guessing it would. It do a great job thanks for watching.
There's a ratcheting cable cutter that I am dieing to see if it will cut pipe without bending it. Have you tried? Do you know??
I believe those are made for cutting wires and groups of wires and actual cable. Not pipe of any kind.
Would you recommend buying the Auto Cut. Amazon sells this exact model it's 54 dollars? I'm having trouble cutting off 1 mm thick rings off 3/4" copper pipe.I make keychains.
Is there a way to sharpen the blade on a regular pipe cutter?
Or would yhe Auto Cut be better?
Or should I just pay $15 and get a regular pipe cutter
I make keychains and having a solid piece that can slip onto a person's keychain is a lot more stable than using a jump ring.
1 mm in thickness looks the best but but it's really hard to do. Like hours go bye while i try and retry.
I’m not sure about cutting such small. pieces. I’d think that would be difficult with any cutter
😂I've done it. You reminded me to go slow. I had forgotten. Thanks.
Can a multi tool do a clean cut of copper pipe too?
I doubt it But maybe. I’ve never tried
What’s the last tool you displayed called?

👍🏻
Can an oscillating multi tool cut copper?
I supposed it might but not very well.
Worked fine for me when I had to make a cut very close to an old gate valve. I needed as much of the remaining stub as possible so I could use a push connect style fitting (like sharkbite, but Watts in this case). Just go slow, and deburr well afterwards
Angle grinder
Yes. But I find that angle grinders are best for cutting cast iron.
😂

@@masterflowplumbing9812 I was dying laughing at how you were coming for the haters! 😂 awesome vid.
Haters...lol
Read the comments in other videos. I have plenty of haters. lol. But I don’t care. Thanks for watching.
Oh sure tell us the Milwaukee tube is the best ,it'to expensive and all you need is the round cutter.,or the economy one , Milwaukee is to expensive.
If you cut a lot of copper daily as a plumber it’s worth it’s weight in gold. Trust me
40 years as a plumber, I prefer a dull butter knife that I welded onto a broken sawzall blade that was brazed onto a broken Joni bolt, 5/16 of course. I jam the Joni bolt into a drill chuck I took off my old hole hawg, ground the shaft down to fit into my hackzall ,,,, and poof square cut me tube. Than I cram the tube into a clean fitting coated in my blood dripping off my cut finger from the sharp edge of the tube and solder it together with some frozen cat veins I got off the local road pizza,, it’s winter so the veins are cheap. Hope this helps you novice type. 😊
im detecting the sarcasm ... i like it
