Recommend contacting Champion Rescue Tools, E.H. Wachs about their Guillotine cutter or NuCut in regards to their battery powered electric shear. The NuCut will work fine on piping 2" or less. The Champion Hydraulic shear is used for larger material. We have also used the Guillotine hack saw to cut large material in a glovebag.
