Link is to a computer....

Are you trying to cut the cooper rings, or the oetikers.

The one you linked has 90+ percent 4 and 5 star reviews based on 500+ reviews. That's about as good as you'll do since there's always a certain percentage of people who buy tools and are so dumb that they couldn't figure out how to use a soup spoon, but they still blame the tool for their own ineptness.

I picked up one at Menards that seems to work fine.

Grinder with a cut off wheel.

Grinder with a cut off wheel.

Or a Dremel type tool with appropriate disk. Smaller, fits in tight places better, but slower.

I didn't even know they made such a thing. I also just use a Dremel with a small cutoff wheel.

Thank you for the thread, OP. Now I have an idea of how to use this tool.

Ridgid for crimp rings. Side cutters for pinch rings. Just grab a twist apart.

I'm happy with the one I picked up at Blowes or Dome Hepot. It looks pretty much like your link.

The cutters are faster and easier. Require no power

I'm more inclined to believe bad reviews depending on what they say

Thanks. I'll give those a try

Dremel and a cut off wheel works every time. Saves the fitting, too.

For SS cinch clamps, I've used a pair of pliers in a pinch when I didn't have my Dremel.
