Inside Pipe Cutter for 1.25″ to 2″ Pipe – Professional Hot Tub Repair Tool
Introduction
As a retailer of hot tub spare parts, I’m excited to offer this specialized inside pipe cutter that revolutionizes repair and modification work on hot tub and pool plumbing systems. The IPC100 is designed for professionals and serious DIY enthusiasts who need to make precise cuts in confined spaces where traditional cutting tools simply can’t reach.
Product Overview
The IPC100 is an innovative cutting tool specifically engineered to cut PVC pipes from the inside – a game-changer for hot tub and pool maintenance. This professional-grade tool attaches directly to your drill chuck, allowing you to make clean, precise cuts in pipes ranging from 1.25″ to 2″ in diameter, which are standard sizes in most residential hot tub and pool plumbing systems.
Key Features
This ingenious tool attaches easily to standard drill chucks, transforming your power drill into a specialized inside pipe cutter. The IPC100 comes complete with a blade suitable for cutting 1.25″ to 2″ pipe, making it perfect for most residential hot tub plumbing systems. The innovative design allows you to make clean cuts from within the pipe – essential for repairs in tight spaces where external cutters cannot access.
How It Works
The IPC100 operates by inserting the cutting head into the pipe, where the specialized blade extends outward to make contact with the inner pipe wall. When activated by your drill, the blade rotates and cuts through the pipe from the inside out, creating a clean, even cut. This approach is invaluable when dealing with pipes that are already installed in confined spaces or buried within your hot tub’s framework.

The IPC100 inside pipe cutter is ideal for:
- Hot tub plumbing repairs and modifications
- Spa and pool system maintenance
- Cutting pipes in confined spaces
