Clean, quick cuts, tool-less blade changes

PVC and vinyl tubing are super-useful not just for their original plumbing or electrical applications, but for DIYers and ID students seeking to cobble things together with a relatively inexpensive, easily-workable material.

In that case you want to pick up a PVC pipe cutter. And you could do a lot worse than Greenlee's killer ratcheting model with tool-less blade change. Here our friends at Pro Tool Reviews give you a look:
