A plumber's PIPE cutter isn't for thin walled copper only. Sometimes plumbers have to cut large diameter thick wall cast iron pipe and other materials as well.
Also a lot bigger, heavier
I'm not sure what your point is. Pipe cutters (like pipe) come in different sizes and weights. One capable of cutting 1-1/8" OD pipe doesn't need to be very big.
and more expensive.
Expensive? This one is suitable for steel pipe up to 1-1/8" OD. $5.83 at Amazon and it includes a de-burring tool. A BIG one like above can be had for under $20.00.
