I could have saved some skin and blood vessel bruising if I had bought the mallet before I started pounding PVC pipe together. The right angle is necessary to square connectors along a pipe where connecting pipes go in perpendicular directions. The pipe cutter is fairly easy to use and convenient, but the second photo shows that the blade pushes the pipe apart, thus cutting a slight angle at the bottom of the cut. It hasn't caused a significant problem when glueing.
