Using this with my impact driver, it cuts through cast iron like butter. Saves a ton of time.

Works well but heavy
It's a bit bulky and heavy, but it gets the job done. I used it to cut 4-inch and 6-inch cast iron. The chain holds up well. It's a great tool if you need it often.

Not for every use
It's okay for occasional cuts, but I found it hard to get a straight cut on larger pipes. You need to practice. Also, the chain can be tricky to wrap around the pipe alone.

Great investment
As a plumber, this cutter is a game-changer. It attaches to my impact driver, which I always have. It cuts clean and fast. The dual power option (manual or powered) is handy. Highly recommend it.
