that is definitely the best option.

I have also used some $3 ratcheting pvc cutters from HF that worked just as good

^This...bought one when I did my Big 3...way too much work without it and typically the cut will not be clean. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

Hello/

*XS's-2* Similar cutters at:Home Depot/Lowes or MCM as stated.But...check S&H

on it *Before* ordering it,as it sometimes the Total Price at the end they can cost just as much

as the other 2 mentioned.But at any rate,these are the way to go w/*Clean/Sharp Cuts* everytime.

Good Luck in your search/=O]

Best Regards/
