Maybe useful to someone who runs lots of pipe. For me, it would take up too much room in the tool bag that then has to be lugged through loft hatches, etc. My goal is to keep the weight down in the bag, so I would stick with the manual slices.

Also, yet another battery to be charged.

Nice bit of kit though for someone who will get the use out of it.

Yes I've got one!

Used it a fair bit when I first got it. But since the battery has run out I haven't bothered to recharge it.

It's just a bit too bulky and heavy to warrant using it over a manual pipe slice. And for awkward cuts I prefer my multi tool with a plunge blade as you don't need as much clearance as the milwakee cutter

Use it all the time ,brilliant piece of kit when being used on Installs

!t will cut 15 22 and 28 ,it saves your wrist and fingers from all that reptitive strain as well

I always try and use it wherever I can and use a normal pipe slice where i can not fit the cutter

For installers its a god send ,diyers or uf you are doing small bit of general plumbing then the humble pipe slice is fine
