11 MUST-HAVE PLUMBING TOOLS TO HAVE ON HAND FOR YOUR NEXT PROJECT

Libraton Pipe Cutter

Once you’ve measured your pipes, you’ll need something that can slice them clean—enter the Libraton Pipe Cutter. Designed for copper, aluminum, and even stainless steel pipes, this tool uses a wear-resistant blade and ball bearing rollers to help you get smooth cuts without the struggle. It comes in sizes that handle pipes from 3/16 to 2 inches in diameter, and the ergonomic knob makes the job easier on your hands.

For just $16.99, you’re getting a solid tool with over 4,600 Amazon reviewers backing it with an average of 4.6 stars. It even comes with a deburring tool, which is a nice bonus. Need to replace the blade down the line? No problem—two spares cost less than $10. And if you’re working on heavier-duty jobs, the Doyle 2-inch version from Harbor Freight is a worthy upgrade at $59.99.
