Good priced pipe slice

[ade2k]

what recommendations have people on pipe slices , I have a few but the wheels keep going back and not springing forward. I had a good 28 aluminium one with yellow on the side but lost that.

Most of mine are kopex or rothenberger and none have had any faults.

KOPEX are good rothenburger have a quality issue for past couple of years where some of them last half a dozen cuts.
Dont touch the PTS own make ones they only last a copuple of cuts to

Monument as always, they make quality Plumbers' tools. Kopex are also good, in fact the Monument ones may well be Kopex?

I fully agree kopex are the best with rottenbugger when you get to 28mm the case is plastic which let's it down IMHO

You do need to keep them lubricated often.

Particularly after they get wet.

I find the cheap Forge brand from Screwfix very good and often easier to use than the market leaders. About £15 for two!

My Rothenberger mini and medium sized pipe cutters are about 20 years old and still going strong - and still have the original cutting wheels fitted.

Mind you, being - allegedly - a counter boy and having only used them on half a dozen occasions that's not surprising.

I wish I had a quid for every one I lost Charn..
I recall when I was serving my time the old boys always said; two things you must carry in your pocket at all times are a pencil & a pocket knife. I bet these wonderfull auld yins would add a pipe slice if they were around today....

I thought in your day they carried the pencil behind their ear!

In my day it was chalk and slate.

Delta you must have lived in a quiet area of Glesga to just carry a pen knife our choice was a hatchet or a machette .

I remember driving to Scotland with this lady and when I explained what they did in Gretna she wanted to check out the prices at their marriage parlours!

A couple of years later she wanted to ask the same question when I went to Las Vegas with her!

She got married to someone in LA but he was killed in a car accident a few years later!
