I think using a blunt blade must damage them, I keep meaning to get new blades but keep forgetting lol

its called dirt!

open them up give them a good clean and a little oil, change the blade as 1/2mm wear on the wheel means it wont cut .75mm pipe wall.
biggest culprit for this is painted pipes.

I've had mine for about 7 years now, I strip it regularly and give it a good blast with WD40 and change the wheel when it has lumps out of it.

The new pipeslices seem to be garbage the past couple of years. The springs are useless and i've had them threading straight out of the packet. Probably made in some far flung corner of the world for 2 bob a time. Get rothenberg ones from a merchant and the first time they play up fire them back for a new set.

I never seem to have one long enough for it to wear out, the cheeky little buggers roll away from you when you put them down and dissapear off the face of the earth.....there must be a mound of them somewhere, due to there colour they blend in with everything.

Am i the only one that has that problem, also pipe machine formers...lost count off the amount of them i have lost over the years.

Should we ask the manufacturers to stop making grey tools, and to recolour them bright yellow.

I've lost two 15mm ones this year,I've thought about spraying them a bright colour too. I lost my 22mm slide too,ordered another one and a week later found 2 spares in my shed!

i change the wheel now and then and keep them lubricated with wd40. the worse ones i find dont last long it 28mm slices they always seem to start traking after about 2 months wear or so

 

[Dannypipe]

I've had my slices for a few years. I have a few spare ones kicking around in the van (from where I've misplaced them and then found them again!!)

Anyway, I think Tamz might have a point that they're not made as wel as they used to be.....as I just recently bought a 28mm slice after years of using an adjustable pipe slice, and it's crap, right from the off. Oh and it's Rothenburg and its made from plastic. PLASTIC. I mean how penny pinching is that!!?

I've had the same kopex pipeslice for 21 years. It's had 17 new wheels and 8 new handles!:winkiss:
