Reed Tool DEB4 Deburring Tool for Plastic, 1-1/4 to 4-Inch

This one is made in USA and will last. Not crappy like the China knockoff version!

I am a pool contractor for over 40 years. I teach classes and provide training for pros in my industry on pool and spa plumbing.I personally use this tool for the correct bevel requirement as per the ASTM standard.Beware of knocks off as they may not provide the same bevel angle.This is an easy tool to use and yes it may be expensive, but you will get the correct the results.You can use a 1/2" drive ratchet if preferred but I do not.I highly recommend this product for any pro assembling PVC pipe for any application. Works on ABS and CPVC pipe as well.

Great tool for chamfering PVC pipe. Puts the perfect bevel on the pipe that allows the pipe to seat properly in the fitting. Don’t know why I waited so long to get one.

Pipes fit better high quality

Slick! And It makes dry fits VERY easy to take apart!!

This is a great convenient tool but I took away a star because it's expensive and so are the replacement blades. The lowest price I can find for a replacement blade on the internet is $32 from KSC direct ($20+$12 shipping).I'm using this tool on 4" PVC Sch 40 which has a wall thickness of about 1/4". As another reviewer said it is kind of cumbersome to work on large pipe. Once you have it on you have to kind of push it down slightly by the blade as you turn to ensure it takes off a consistent amount. It removes a continuous strip of plastic and the chamfer is uniform if you do that. There is a half-inch socket attachment on the back of the tool, and I've used it a few times to turn with my ratchet but the tool really needs to be held on the pipe so mostly I've turned by hand (fortunately the blade is still sharp enough). So far I've done about a dozen pieces. I can see how if you are a professional doing more frequent work you might want an electric tool.I'd like to mill my own blades or order custom cut blades (like from a fabricator) to get Reed out of the equation so if anyone knows how I can do that please leave a comment telling me. A blade for this should only cost a dollar or two as far as I'm concerned. On the plus side the existing blade looks like it may be reversible, so when I wear this one down I'll try flipping it over.Update 2016-06-28: I am using vise-grip style chain clamps to clamp down the 4" PVC when I cut it. I've discovered it is easier to do the chamfering while the pipe is still clamped. Attached is a picture of what the tool looks like after a rotation.

I used another deburring tool before which was not great, but this one is perfect!

A bit pricey but I can tell it is quality
