Im glad you didn’t use oscillating tool

I have a Ridgid RC 1625 pvc cutter, which is a very nice pipe cutter. But, in a dirt/soil/irrigation conditions, the tool would jammed up. I have to open it up after every job and clean it. Anyone have a recommendation on pipe cutter in this area? Thanks in advance.

I used to own a house that was build in the 40s. Nothing was compliant. Everything looks like a diy job.

I would use a sawall.

Cool deal. I’m having trouble picking my 5.

I have the black version. The metal is soft. Wire cutter is all messed up. I stay with my Leatherman. Like someone already mentioned, if you like Gerber, then buy another.

I use Milwaukee ones. But they are on the expensive side.

I think I’m the only person that doesn’t like QR on 1/4. I always end up hitting the button. 1/2 or 3/8, Im good with QR.

Their ease of lifetime warranty is hard to beat if you live close by. When that changes, why go there at all?

Op is talking about Icon not The HF torque wrench. Speaking of checking for calibration every 6 months, I double check my HD torque wrench (back when it was made in USA) with a torque adapter before I use it every time.

Depends on project. I started with a mitersaw. 15 years later, a circular saw. Anyway, depending on project.

When I did my research on this set, many complained the same. Over all, $50 for 42 pieces is not a bad deal, it just wasn’t going to be pretty. In the end, I went with Gearwrench metrics set instead.

^^^This. The price they set is like they are made in USA. But they are not.

I have both. Ramp is quick and easy. Don’t have to bring out the jack. But, you can’t do anything to the wheels or brakes
