Professional One-Hand PVC Pipe Cutter for Irrigation & Landscaping
The MCC VC-0363 PVC Pipe Cutter is a professional-grade, one-hand-operation tool engineered in Japan since 1916. Designed for landscapers, irrigation contractors, and serious DIYers, it cuts plastic pipe up to 63mm (2-1/2″) O.D. with clean, crack-free results. It’s the ideal tool for cutting PVC pipe and fittings used throughout in-ground sprinkler and drip irrigation mainlines.
The quick-release blade mechanism lets you reposition and continue cutting without removing the tool from the pipe — a major time-saver on the job. When the blade eventually dulls, swapping it out takes just two steps using the VCE0363 replacement blade (no disassembly required). California Residents: See Prop 65 warning below.
- True One-Hand Operation: Quick-release mechanism lets you open and reposition the blade with a single hand, keeping the pipe secure between cuts.
- Superior Cut Quality: MCC’s proprietary blade treatment delivers industry-leading sharpness and anti-pipe-cracking performance for clean, square cuts every time.
- Ergonomic Handle: Specially contoured grip reduces hand fatigue during extended use and maximizes cutting leverage.
- Reinforced Mechanism: Rust-free spring and heavy-duty ratchet gear maintain reliable performance on any job site.
- Simple Blade Exchange: Replace the VCE0363 blade in two steps with minimal risk of losing parts.
- Compact & Lightweight: At just 650g (1.4 lbs), it’s easy to carry on a tool belt for all-day use.
