When you finish, look at the cut edge. It should be smooth, not jagged. If it’s rough, hit it with a file for two seconds. That’s it. You now have a perfectly cut pipe. It’s oddly satisfying. Like popping bubble wrap, but for adults.
You can even deburr the inside with a small file or a reamer. This stops leaks later. A clean inside edge means water flows happy. Leaky pipes are for sad people. You’re not sad. You’re a multi-tool wizard.
And the best part? You didn’t need a specialty tool. Your multi-tool already lives in your drawer. It’s the Swiss Army knife of power tools. Copper pipe cutting is just one of its secret talents. Tomorrow, you might cut a bolt or a nail. The world is your copper oyster.
So go ahead. Grab a pipe. Put on safety glasses. Let the vibration take over. You’ll feel a little bit like a construction ninja. And when someone asks, “Can you really cut copper with that thing?” You’ll smile and say, “Watch me.”
