The MCC VC-0348 1-1/2" PVC Pipe Cutter is a professional-quality ratcheting pipe cutter designed to make clean, precise cuts on plastic pipe up to 48mm (1-7/8") in outer diameter — ideal for cutting 1-1/2" nominal PVC used in irrigation mainlines, sprinkler systems, and landscape plumbing. Made in Japan by MCC International, a manufacturer with over 100 years of tool-making heritage, this cutter is trusted by landscapers and contractors who demand durability and reliability on the job site. For all your PVC fittings and PVC glue and accessories, DripWorks has everything you need to complete your installation.
The quick-release blade mechanism allows true one-handed operation — no need to open the handle with both hands between cuts. The ergonomic handle reduces hand strain during repetitive cutting, and the compact body delivers impressive cutting leverage despite its small size. Blade replacement is a simple two-step process with minimal parts to lose. The replacement blade for this model is the MCC VCE0348.
