In order not to buy every pipe slice make out there. ...
Does anyone have a preference?
I find even good old rothenburgers fail just a frequent as the cheaper makes. I jave tried wd40 and ot just makes it so it takes 1000 turns before it cuts.

Any advice?

Thanx

Kopex was always a favourite, I have had them, but don’t seem to last as long. Rothenbergers ar usually good as are monument. Only tried one cheap one (city plumbing) and didn’t last long.

I've always used kopex but got my eye on the nerrard ratchet pipe cutter that does all the sizes and has a handle on the end. As even as someone who hasn't reached thirty years old yet I can suffer with hand pain after a days worth of pipework nowadays

FWIW, my experience is to buy spares wheels for whatever make you buy. I used to use Kopex & Monument.
I also found that as soon as it starts to wander, strip it right down, clean it properly and apply just a film (DO NOT BLATHER) of silicone grease to where the cutter slides and also to the ends of the rollers.
In my experience that takes it back to new.

(DO NOT BLATHER

To decipher that for all you southerners , it means “just put a bit on “

Nerrad pipe slice for me all day long. A little pricey but top notch cutters.

It's the blade as much as the housing. Keep it fresh!

Not a fan of Kopex myself, had a rothenberger for a couple years with new wheel every now and then. Currently using Arctic Haynes pipeslices which are a nice blue colour which helps find them when misplaced, they’ve so far last a long time and also happen to be the cheapest in my local merchants!
