So whit happened tae yer axe pal?

 

[tamz]

The shaft snapped yesterday splitting up my trees to put on old reekie. Had it since i was a wean too so it will be sorely missed :frown:
Btw i fired a 4" nail into my finger putting the fence up. Hit a knot and it came out the side and blew my hand off the timber. Never went through but it has knocked the joint about a ¼" to the side. Major sore but nothing a bucket of sawdust and a wee dram won't sort :lol:
I would have been better at my work!

 

[Guest123]

Nae luck Tamz! My hands have so many cuts just now that they look like a map of the Rockies.
Sharp copper ends and me just fight each other every day.

 

[tamz]

I've got more scars on my hands than the back roads to Slammanan but this is as sore as i've had since my copex days. No sympathy from the bride :lol:

 

[stevetheplumber]

I'd forgotten how bad copex can cut yer hands

 

[Hardy1]

plastic pipe slice is the way-simple or get yourself a pair of plastic cutters.

I have a lot of scars from that stuff.

Thats why you are supposed to deburr after cutting

You can't debur copex. It is as sharp as a blade.

[Adamrob]

pipe cutters but don't go for the ratchet type. Simple is best and give them a little twist as you start to cut, mine also cost £14 .

That's just lazy!!

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!

seen the old fella stick it through the glove and slice his tendon in his hand blood every where me abusing him you stupid old t anyway few weeks later did the same thing when i told him he peed himself should have painted his with laco would have hurt more

 

[paul parker]

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!

 

[PlumbBobBob]

well done and thanks for the feed back

Copex flue liner, box of razors more like, agree with Tamz.

Had a Rems one of these things. Flattened every tube I ever put in it.

 

[Guest123]

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.

[SafeGasInstall]

too big if you ask me , but then we dont live in usa where everything is big , and I think if it was not no one would have bought one !!!

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!

 

[Guest123]

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.

 

[kozak1968]

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