Can someone tell me what the pointy bit is for
25 cent garage sale find from yesterday

Deburring the pipe after you cut it.

Or actually deburring the tubing, because some autistic asshat will chime in shortly with, " Thats not a pipe cutter it is a tubing cutter!!!!! "

>>2415072
thanks. I don't think my previous one had that on it
been trying to replace the fuel filter on my blazer and I thought I crossed the threads. turns out someone before me crossed them and I already have a tool to flare the end. now I just need that special nut that attaches to the filter

To ream the inside of the pipe after you cut it. Effectively removing burs, but also allowing smoother flow of the fluid into fittings. Turbulent flow in pipes will increase erosion.

>> No.2415089

It's a knife for marking out where you need the drywall cut for you for access, a demand that will be fulfilled gladly because even though you are accustomed to working with some precision when fitting pipes, any hole you make in wallboard will look like a paranoid chimpanzee overdosing on meth made it in a desperate attempt to escape the voices in his head. The ones without a knife are for new construction.

when I first tried to figure it out by looking at it, I thought it was to score the pipe to know where to cut it
I don't do to much home construction. I believe the only times I've used my previous one was for break lines on my vehicle

no, you fucking tard its to clean the inside edge of the tube cause when you cut it with this cutter the inside walls get pushed in as the wheel cuts thru and you have to scrape off the metal edge it creates.

I find it best practice to keep fluids out of my electrical pipes, but, to each his own.

How are you supposed to clean a pipe with a triangle idiot? It's for stabbing drywall.

you are obviously too stupid to be using any tools let alone ones that require half a brain to use. its best you just stick to getting fatter in your moms basement while you browse the internet all day.

depends, as i understand tube is structural, pipe is for containment so it would depend entirely on how anon is using the material what it's called

Pipe is measured by random value. Tubing is measured by OD.

>>2415071
It's for getting memed on and fucking up the finish on the tubing you just cut.
Pointy ones suck and don't work.
You want the round one that actually cuts the burr off.
Nice tubing cutter btw

People have garage sales and will just have a cardboard box full of junk for .25 or whatever

Estates sales are better, that's when some old fart dies with no family, or family that doesn't give a shit, and they just want it cleared out so they can sell the house. I've showed up on the last day of sales like that and they'll usually let you fill up a box for $5. The last one I went to I got probably $1,000 worth of tools for $10

Have a need for tools to create and maintain plumbing infrastructure like potable water supply piping?
