00:00Hey everybody, this is Chris, your dependable host for all things reed, and today we're
00:10here with Ross.
00:11And Ross, what are we doing here?
00:14We're going to demo a six inch roof drain pipe.
00:16We're going to use a hinge pipe cutter with the proper wheels on it for the steel.
00:23This one here is set up for the steel.
00:26This is used for a schedule 40 pipe, which is a normal wall thickness of a pipe.
00:32Now they do have these for doing the schedule 80 and schedule 100 wall thickness.
00:38This is a good tool because it doesn't require anything other than muscle power.
00:44It's not a tool that would make a spark or anything.
00:47You know, you can control what it does in the environment, and you also can use it out
00:53in the field where you, you know, this would be the tool you would want to take out there.
00:57Well, let's wrap this up and go to work.
01:00Let's get her done.
01:01Okay, we're going to unhinge this tool like I got here, wrap it around here, tighten it
01:07up and then start the sequences of cutting it.
01:11You make your first initial cut to mark it.
01:18You got to go both ways on it with one turn.
01:21The first time, there might be paint or something on the pipe, so it might be irregular, so
01:26that's why you do a light touch-up to it.
01:31If it feels hard, you could go a couple times like that before you twist it.
01:36Don't go a whole lot.
01:37You don't have to force the handle because it doesn't do nothing but put too much pressure
01:41on the cutters.
01:42There's four wheels on this cutter, so it's cutting a quarter of a section of the pipe
01:50at a time, so it kind of overlaps, so that's how you get all the way around the pipe.
01:56As you get close to the end of your cut, you'll feel less resistance on the, on the turn and
02:02on the movement of the tool, and you got to start being careful that your section of stuff
02:09you're cutting off, demoing, doesn't fall down on you.
02:14These are the fingers, and the guides are top and bottom that support it to the pipe,
02:20so it shouldn't fall over, but Murphy's Law, you always want to be safe and be ready.
02:27It is a tool that one man can do, but it's a lot easier when you have two people doing
02:32it.
02:33That way you can push and pull.
02:37We are through.
02:50Well, that didn't really take long at all.
02:53I mean, how did you feel it went?
02:55It went okay.
02:56Like I say, the only resistance you have is the scale buildup, so I guess that's a little
03:01better than buying a membership.
03:02Why membership?
03:03I was going to say, does it work your arms and your shoulders?
03:06Yeah.
03:07Want to do another one?
03:08Let's do it.
03:12Got the wheels touched up again.
03:14Remember, when you're setting the tool up, like right here we have piping, you don't
03:19want to have it where we're going to interfere with not being able to get the full cut.
03:26What is your personal favorite part about the tool?
03:30You just grab this tool and go to work.
03:32You don't have to have a whole big toolbox full of stuff to complete the task.
03:41So there you have it.
03:42There's a look at the Reed Hinged Cutter.
