saw it advertised in HVP. had a look at it and seems they cut up to 28mm pipe. not a bad idea if your up in a loft ripping out, and you dont wana be searching for one of your cutters thats lost in the insulation somewhere,think most understand were im coming from.

see its gotta be worth it with a free fleece.have to admit 170 is way over maybe take 100 off id think about. still though,not a bad idea in certain situations.

ONLY PLACE I CAN SEE THIS BEING WORTH THE MONEY IS ON LARGE PROJECTS (HOSPITALS ETC) WHERE SECTIONS OF PIPEWORK ARE BEING MADE UP REPEATEDLY LIKE A FACTORY SYSTEM.
IF YOU WANT TO SPUNK YOUR MONEY ON SUMMAT GET A NICE SDS MAX DRILL THAT WILL PUT A 1 1/2" SOLID BIT THROUGH A WALL.
NOW THAT'S A TOOL

id love to waste my money on power tools. but as my boss thinks we should buy our own power tools to use for his work.i make them last till they die. id love to have a cordless sds but hey its his time wasted with me setting up a corded drill

have used the milwaukee pipe cutter with mixed results,on new work it is a dream,on old tube it can be a right pita,mixed results with battery life and longevity.when it was first used we loved it but over time we have all reverted back to the pipeslice due to the fact it slips off the pipe too easily and is an extra weight to carry round.save your money unless you have a big project on the go would be my advice.

Wouldn't be so bad if they chucked a spare battery in with it.
