Besides, I wouldn't just lob that into the bottom of the tool box, and the batteries never go flat on my bog standard £20 rothy, plastic pipe cutter!

In my opinion you need three tools to cut pex plastic pipes. And they are pipe cutter, crimping tool and de crimping tool

I've had some success using a 15mm copper pipe cutter to get it nearly cut through then a decent pair of secateurs to finish the job off. It seems a neat & accurate cut to me, but I haven't switched the water on to try it yet!
Thanks to all who replied to my original question.

Water (mains pressure) switched on & no leaks at all!

If I went out and bought every new gadget that comes on the market, then I'd need a Truck just to carry it all around.

How many 1 1/2" pipes do you come across sitting on a bench...........eh............none.
Looks too big to get in anywhere but maybe not.

I went into one of those all you can eat places and i was mesmerised watching them shovel heaped (and i mean heaped) plates of food down their neck then go back for more!

I remember reading last year about a coach full of American tourists stopped off to eat at at an all you can eat Indian Buffet. They ate EVERYTHING and the restaurant ran out of food. Guess what, the Americans complained that their wasn't enough food, even though they ate the equivalent of 6 standard buffets in one go. Big fat ugly greedy bastwards they are.

Twist the cutters if they are a bit blunt to advoid squashing the pipe

Remember to regularly re- sharpen the blades on your pipe cutters. An oilstone or failing that a kitchen steel. Barrier pipe in particular blunts the blades and they regularly need resharpening or you will struggle to cut the pipe.

I just give them a couple of swipes on my unshaven chin!

Great forum! I am sure this is going to help a lot of people.
