I am a pool professional. As part of that business I make PVC plumbing repairs and I upgrdade equipment. I used to use a hand saw or a recip saw to cut PVC pipe. The hand saw was tedious and the recip saw was too heavy. Both of these left jagged, uneven cuts and a handfull of "shavings". When I saw the Milwaukee Cordless PVC Shears I just had to try them. I figured I'd return them if they were just another "gimmick". I almost did a cartwheel the first time I used them!!!! The shears cut 2" shcedule 40 pipe in about 3 seconds. The cut is clean, straight, and free of shavings. A few things you need to know: 1) maximum on schedule 80 is 1.5". 2) older pipe may crack and therefore EYE PROTECTION IS IMPERATIVE. The older the pipe the easier it cracks. I still use a hand saw to cut older pipe. 3) Be aware of where your fingers are! This cutter has a lot of tourqe and it doesn't know the difference between pipe and fingers. There is a "think twice" trigger unlock button. They put it in a spot which makes it cumbersome to push it and pull the trigger at the same time. This is my only negative comment ans is a small price to pay for the ease with which these shears work.
