Exhaust pipe cutters

[atikovi]

I have a 20 year old version of this style that has worn out and need to replace.

Anybody use this style?

The thing I don't like about mine is you have to squeeze the handles together hard while swinging it to have any cutting action. That can be quite tiring.

I've never used them but I came across these recently and thought it looked like a good idea https://www.grip-on.com/186-chain-pipe-cutter-plus/

Those are like $120 I believe (give or take). For a professional they would be worth it, but for the backyard guy, the angle grinder works good enough too.

When I was younger I used to replace the exhaust system on my car and didn't think twice about it. But now I am older and hopefully a little wiser, so I just take the car to the local muffler shop and have them fix it. I am not trying to BS you when I say the cost to have the local muffler shop do the job is not much more expensive than if I do it myself. Plus, I don't get skinned knuckles and bruised arms. If I had a lift, then MAYBE I would be more apt to work on an exhaust problem.

To try and answer your question, I have an air powered angle cutter wheel tool that works quite well, but if I were a business I would want something faster and more suited to do the job. A cutting torch works quite well too.

If you are replacing the system.... this is my exhaust pope cutter.

This was mine, except it is not a Milwaukee... but just some Joe brand I have craftsman/dewalt/AEG... hahahahaha AEG bet not too many people have that.

Often there is no room for a saw like that. And I want a precise square clean cut so an angle cutter or torch is out.

I just took my '48 jeep to a muffler shop. They guy took a sawzall to the old exhaust. It cut through it like butter, simple and easy.

Blue Point TC90A. You can get one on eBay for around $30.

May I ask why you need a precise cut for an exhaust system?

I have the second style and it has worked good for me. Even in tight spaces

You go to a muffler shop, you'll get cheap tubing and crush-bends.

You buy a mandrel-bent kit, (available for popular cars/trucks, sometimes in Stainless) or mandrel bends and piece the system together yourself, it'll perform much better.

I bet that Lang makes the tool for Blue-Point.

I used a hacksaw (manual), sawzall, angle grinder/cutoff tool and a portaband saw. They all got the job done.
