How to Start a No-Till Garden the Easy Way

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.
