Cutting redundant small bore copper pipe

[rwb]

I want to remove a load of old and redundant small bore copper pipe from an old heating installation.
It's all underfloor in the crawlspace so only have limited access and normal pipe cutter or hacksaw would be awkward.
Are there some kind of snips that would cut the pipes. I'm not sure if aviation tin snips would last the course.
Any help and recommendations would be appreciated.
thanks, Bob.

Small bore is 15mm, do you mean microbore (8 or 10mm)? If so you might get away with heavy duty snips.

Do you have or have access to a multi tool?

if you have one Use a 4 inch disc cutter with a 1mm disc it will sail through it

thanks for that clarification., yes, it is microbore (10mm).
Thanks to all for your suggestions, all 3 ideas sound very practical, I don't have heavy duty snips but I have multi tool and disc cutter so will try those.
Great help here as usual, and appreciated, thanks, bob.
