What is the best tool to use to cut these 1.5” waste hoses? At over 2” OD, I can’t use the ratchet cutters I use for 1.5” PVC...

Thanks, Shannon

Sawzall works well or a hacksaw, both will cut through pretty easily. you will get some burs around the edge of the cut but those come off with a hard wipe of a towel or if you are tough your hands.

good luck,

If it is a wire-reinforced hose, smart installers tuck the wire under one of the clamps so it doesn't stab anyone.

A Port-a-band is my favorite tool for cutting the new hose to length.

Alright, I got it - - some sort of "cable / wire / band" saw. Or, a serrated knife - - thanks ;)
