hi , new to this forum so hello to you all.

i tried this type of plastic pipe cutter and found it very poor. the ex-plumber/merchant tried it as well with no joy either. he said the he will not be restocking them !

I've got the 32 and 40 mm sizes.

Pretty useless I reckon.

I had 32mm cutters and agree that they are useless. I have heard that the 15 & 22mm are very good though.

i have found the more you use these cutters the worse they get only cutting half the pipe (time for the bin)

I use Rocut Professional (rothenberger) plastic pipe shears..

Rothenberger Rocut 50TC Ratchet Plastic Pipe Cutter Shears

I use them for cutting 32 - 40mm waste pipe too, effortlessly and cleanly

There is a nack to using them properly, or they'll just squash your plastic pipe, but once you have it, they'll cut anything (except metal of course)
