The MCC 1" PVC Pipe Cutter (Quick Release) — model VC-0334 — is a compact, professional-quality ratcheting cutter designed to make clean, square cuts on PVC pipe up to 34mm (1-1/3" OD). It is an essential tool for installing and modifying PVC fittings, mainlines, and lateral runs in any drip irrigation or sprinkler system. Made in Japan by MCC — a precision tool manufacturer since 1916 — this cutter delivers industry-leading sharpness, durability, and anti-pipe-cracking performance in a one-hand-operable design.
The Quick Release mechanism means you never need to open the handle with both hands between cuts, letting you move rapidly from one cut to the next. Blade replacement takes only two steps, and replacement blades (model VCE0334) are available separately.
