Default Pipe Cutter :

Does anyone have a used chain cutter for tail pipes they want to let go cheap . I only have two cuts to make and then will likely never use again .

I'll check my local area .

That chain cutter is great as long as it's sharp! They will still take it back broken, BTW.

If that doesn't work, try Harbor Freight, if the tool is for occasional use, as a hobbyist their tools are fine.

most small exhaust shops would cut it for you for a nominal fee

that way no tool to buy, try and resell, frustration level is lower as well?

just an idea
