I bought the rothenberger plasticut set 32,40 & 50mm I got it from screwfix. £36.99, at checkout it was £24.99 so a bargain as individually they’re £15 odd each One turn in the pipe & it’s cut, perfectly, Very pleased with it I’ll buy the 20mm one next for overflow although that’s easy to cut with plastic snips. Plasticut cutters are excellent but the price is scandalous for a bit of plastic and a blade. The time saved and ease of cutting makes them worth it though. They must still be under patent because I haven't been able to find a cheap copy version. Top tip - if you buy the 1 1/2" one you can also cut 1 1/4" if you squeeze it hard. They’re great mate, but we’re talking carrying the minimum amount of tools to do the job. I mainly now do New Builds & it’s repetitive, so you can limited your toolkit. |

Don't tell anyone but I have a collection of Jubille clips I sometimes put around the pipe to guarantee a clean straight cut if I'm having an off day. thanks battle, you've just reminded me of a tip to cut soilpipe straight, wrap broad selotape round the pipe and saw on the edge,  I'll do a vid tomorrow, |

Imo repetitive work is where they would really be useful with the time and effort saved really adding up. No deburring, no backwards and forwards to where you are sawing or sawn hands from trying to hold the pipe in mid air and saw it (yes I have done this and have the scar to prove it  ) |

When my new hacksaw arrives I'll do a video review of it, that's how confidant I am of it being the undisputed "king of junior hacksaws". |
