Thank you. Not silly to me! I don't have a vice so I was looking for a handheld method/tool. Demonstration helped know what to expect when cutting through PVC pipe with saw (teeth). I have a Sawzall with different blades so that helped me pick the right one. First time I've ever added extension to drain pipe, need to cut off atleast an inch. So, thanks for the simple demonstration.

This is a VERY useful video! Cz many of us never had to work with pvc pipe before so we're lacking this part of knowledge! Thanks for the video!

Thanks for the video! I'm very short on tools, I only need to make one single cut, and I didn't think about my Dremel.

Awesome review of basics - never had to work with pvc until I got a new aquarium with sump, wanted to add a backflow check valve, was going to go the dremel route but thought there's gotta be a better way... ratcheting pvc cutter tool just opened up all kinds of DIY projects for me. Thank you man!

[joeb]

Thank you. Beneficial video. I didn't know about ratchet PVC cutters until your video. I had used a hacksaw to cut an older outdoor PVC pipe, and it cracked the pipe. These additional methods are helpful to see.
