I believe my local Lowes/Home Depot also sells the thick-wall conduit. I was looking for 2", and it was too expensive, so I got the EMT.

The 2" EMT I got wasn't seamless, but smoother than normal pipe. The weld bead was smaller. because the material that was welded was so much thinner.

Yes, like that. Off brand ones can be much cheaper.

Whats a good price to pay for one, I saw them everywhere from 300 bucks to 7.50(It probably had super high shipping)

I have big pipe cutters for PVC, and when I tried using this type on PVC it didn't work, I'll give it a few more goes tomorrow maybe.

you can get scissor like tool to cut pvc aswell, its just quicker than spinning the tool around

Make sure you make the first 2 twists very slowly, beacause if you do them fast the cutting wheel on these will disalign itself and wont cut at all.

This is a little off topic but would the 1 1/2in EMT pipe fit golf balls the specs make it seem like it will but I'm not too sure, the outer diameter is 1.74in
