Pipe Cat (Copper Cutting/Cleaning Tool) - Plumbing Zone

DUNBAR PLUMBING · 03-02-2009, 11:52 PM

Bought this off ebay years ago, maybe used once. This device is more for production type jobs, new construction and the like. I never do large jobs so this tool is not worthy of dragging around for such small jobs.

NO WARRANTY ON THIS ITEM.

The battery is dead in the item now, I would assume the battery is dead in the box. The pictures should indicate there was hardly any use of this tool.

Be an informed buyer and research this product before bidding. I will charge a battery and do a youtube video of cutting pipe with this tool by request.

I personally think this would cut CPVC as well, and EMT conduit, even though it was not designed for it.

I brother has one of those. He can't get replacement cutting wheels since they stopped making them.

Great. Looks like this item will be cancelled in 5, 4, 3, ....

I guess now I need to find replacement cutter wheels.

Anyone have the history timeline about this company, did they make money, lose their tail....couldn't keep up with repairs?

I think they went under about a year or 2 ago. not sure why though.

I just went to http://www.plumb.com and the site is down.

If I did large jobs I'd use it...I just stick to the small stuff.

Any luck on another link to repair parts?

I'll have to tell my brother about that site when it gets back up. He still has the pipe cat and it does work well.
