Anyone tried these?
Bahco Plumbing Copper Pipe Slice Cutters 15mm & 22mm | eBay
Have felt them in the merchants a few times they feel like a really good bit of kit. Just wanted to know if they are actually any good in reality?

Same here, not used them but bahco are definitely the best adjustables I have ever used.
If we find we cannot help others, the least we can do is to desist from harming them. Dalai Lama.

Re: Anyone tried these?
I have a 15 & 22 mm set I saw at a cheap price , so had to buy them.
Not sure about them, to be honest. I tend to still use the Kopex ones I have & like them better. The Bahcos are much nicer on your hand to turn, as they have smooth rounded edges unlike other makes & I like the orange colour as easy to find them. Very fast cut. But they are not IMO just as easy to use & would slip of pipe easy. Not too bad though & I got the pair for about £11, so a bargain!

The bahco pipe slices are exactly the same as the forged-steel ones from screwfix only half the price.

Re: Anyone tried these?
i've got a set but the spring in the 15mm one seems to have gone a bit, maybe i will get a set of the forge steel ones and swap the springs over.

Re: Anyone tried these?
They're actually thinner than Kopex/roberger. The cut on the 15mm is good but the cut on the 22 and 28 is incredible. No burr at all, takes about 4 odd more turns that the others but that is their trick, they simply don't bite hard into the pipe. By far the best on the market at this moment in time and I've tried them all.
