Overview
The SharkBite U701 is a cutter weighing 0.32 pounds with an 11 by 6 by 0.75 inch footprint, sold as a single pack containing one piece.
SharkBite is primarily known for push-fit plumbing fittings, and its cutters are typically built for cleanly trimming PEX and copper tubing before a fitting goes on. The listing notes a drive size labeled Adapter, which points to a cutter designed to pair with another tool rather than operate as a standalone handheld unit, though the exact fit is not detailed further.

Who it's for

Pros and cons

- Sized for tubing work from a plumbing-focused brand
- Drive size listed only as Adapter, exact compatibility unclear
- Not intended as a general-purpose cutter
Performance notes
