Draper 230mm Exhaust Pipe Cutting Pliers | 19mm 15 Steel Cutting Discs | 355mm Chain | 83mm Diameter Cutting Capacity | 99495

I bought this to do a resonator delete from a Golf R. It took me about 10 minutes maximum to cut through the exhaust pipe. Clean cut, easy to use. The key to getting the cut done is to rotate this at least 90 degrees as you move it backwards and forwards around the exhaust - this is what gives it a 360-degree cut. You also should squeeze the handles as tightly together as possible while rotating, this ensures the blades are biting into the metal.Imagine trying to open a can of beans with a can opener. You apply enough pressure to let the blades do their job, the same applies here. If you don't apply enough pressure, the blades aren't really cutting as efficiently as they could be.After cutting my exhaust in two, this device looks brand new. I've no idea how often it could be used before the blades are blunt, but for the price, it saved me going to an exhaust place and paying someone to do the job.

Item was great for one cut and then came apart and struggled doing a second cut discs were worn and deformed emailed draper still no response

Easy of use

The cutter arrived seized solid. It needed a lot of lubricant and bending at each link just to get it to move and the wheels to turn.I managed to make a single cut, but not before most of the wheels become blunt. One of the wheels completely disintegrated and put a crease into the cutting point causing a leak on the new exhaust fitting. Poor quality, don't waste your time.

Good tool, takes a bit to get used to.

For the price I have no complaints here. Cut through a 3” exhaust 4 times and the blades still have decent life left in them.Used WD40 and took my time, don’t force them too much. I also cabled tied the handles together to make sure it stayed tight and in place but this was probably not necessary.Towards the end of the cuts it does get a bit tight and the blade is about as far down as it can go but it will eventually get it done.

Worked brilliant for the first cut.Second cut not so great.Since its third use it has started to fall apart!Time to seek a better oneAlways though draper were a solid decent brand

Used one quite a few times before so got my own and it broke on first use so this one I received is not very good quality

Compré este cortador de tubos de escape para cortar un tubo de escape, perdónenme por la redundancia pero quería dejar claro que compré un artículo destinado al uso que le iba a dar, y tan baja es la calidad del mismo que se ha roto en el primer uso. Ni siquiera era un tubo extraordinario. Tubo de acero normal y corriente de 50mm. De un vehículo ya antiguo además.Rodeó el tubo, ajustó la cadena a la altura más adecuada para cerrar la mano y lo osciló hacia ambos lados mientras presionó. De repente empieza a oirse un ruido de crujido y se notan como saltos así que pienso, vaya, ya lo tengo a punto. Que desilusión tras un rato sin resultados cuando examinó la herramienta y veo que está toda astillada. En resumen. Pésima calidad e inadecuada para su fin. Desaconsejo totalmente adquirir este cortador si tienes pensado usarlo.
