No but they're similar to the bahco ones in the width of them, I tried the bahco ones and found them bad for threading the pipe , I know it's wrist action but never had a problem in 20 years until I used the thinner slices,
Bought a Bahco 22. Threaded the pipe after a really short time. Changed the wheel and it was great for about three cuts and its doing it again. Love my kopex.
 
I fancy a rothenberger rotrac one as an adition to my slices , anybody have one?
 
I have come to the fact that most pipesluces only last a few months if your lucky so I just lob them away when they start spinning.

The kopex used to be fantastic as I had one for years now the one that lasted the longest for me was hold on from city plumbing.
 
I have the todays tools ones from toolstation at the moment. They seem to be about the best. I have had the 22 over a year and its fine. Have only recently got the 15 but it seems great.
 
both those electric pipe slices are brilliant, especially if your wrist is broken/knackered, one learns with age to use anything that assists you to keep going.
 
A couple of years back I got a set from Williams with a red ratchet handle.

Other then the ratchet giving up the actual slice is still going as new with no maintenance. I just took the ratchet off Leaving me with a normal cutter.

Guys, the Rothenberger pipe slice IS the Kopex one! Someone told me that although the patent ran out so we can get monument auto cut and the bahco ones now Kopex still have the trade mark on the name. So if it says Pipeslice on the packet then it's Kopex! Rothy just charge more for it!

This issue arose about a year ago. Does anyone have an idea why I occasionally hear (about once every hour or longer) a hammer related noise coming from my copper water pipes when no water is being used? It basically sounds like the noise you hear after the water shuts off when your toilet bowl...
