Original caption

Someone sent in this little trick that saves your fingers and your gear 👌 Slip a bit of 1/2” copper over your internal pipe cutter and let it spin free while you cut. Stops the cutter heating up in your hand and saves chewing out your drill chuck too. Simple trick, makes the job easier. #thehandyplumber #plumbingtips #tradietips #copperwork #apprenticetips
