Doyle - people build up tool kits over time

and end up with what they need

... which is what really, really hurts when their vans are burgled

 

[doyle]

[oilman]

Then why didn't you say, instead of asking such an open question? Do you think we're mind readers?

Tell you what, sort it yourself..............

10mm pipe slice - why dont they f'in do one ?

 

[doyle]

now now the info you gave was good and certainly specific enough to help, the concern for the technicla stuff was cause it wasnt mentioned.

1) you're hijacking the post.

2) because the pipe is soft annealed and you'll damn near squash it before you cut it.

can you not use them adjustable ones for the microbore pipes

 

[doyle]

obviously not ,oilmans just answered it for me

 

[oilman]

Techno tools'll cost you another £500 (at least)

The adjustable ones are the ones you CAN use since you can be gentle with them.

 

[bster]

sorry for hi-jack

(surly someone can sort a slicy pipe cutter for 10mm).

I'll stop posting on this thread now, so dont reply to this post on this thread.

sorry

thats a fair price for a tool kit, would have expected higher price, reason for asking is in cse i need my own for training if it ever happens or for work experience on the job.
