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

Plumbers and DIYers cutting PEX or copper tubing who need a clean, square cut before installing push-fit fittings. Not the right tool if you need a general-purpose utility or wire cutter.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Light at 0.32 pounds for repeated use
  • Sized for tubing work from a plumbing-focused brand
Cons
  • Drive size listed only as Adapter, exact compatibility unclear

Performance notes

At 0.32 pounds the cutter is light enough for repeated use on a job, and its single-piece, single-pack packaging suggests it ships ready to use without extra blades or parts.
