Trovac FlipCut PVC Pipe Cut...

Product details
The FlipCut, part TFCOUPE3, is a hand tool built to cut 2 in. PVC pipe used in central vacuum tubing runs.
Rather than a hacksaw or a full-size ratchet cutter, the FlipCut wraps around the pipe and closes with a squeezing action, scoring and cutting through the wall of 2 in. PVC in a few passes. It is small enough to carry room to room during a rough-in, and because the blade travels around the pipe rather than being dragged across it by hand, the cut it leaves comes out straighter and more consistently square than a freehand hacksaw cut.
- Part: TFCOUPE3
- Cuts: 2 in. PVC pipe
- Style: hand-squeeze pipe cutter
- Use: central vacuum tubing installation and repair
A square, clean-edged cut matters more on a central vacuum run than it might seem: a ragged or angled end can keep a fitting from seating fully, and a joint that never fully seats is one that can leak air and cost the system suction later. For anyone piping a new central vacuum system, a dedicated cutter like this is faster than switching tools mid-run and takes up far less room in a tool bag than a hacksaw.
