I've been toying with the idea of getting waste pipe slices for years, always thought they were too expensive for what they were, then I noticed Rothy made one cutter that does 1 1/4 and 1 1/2 pipe for £20. Just bought one.
Brought it home and cut a piece of pushfit 1 1/2, it just spiralled up the pipe. Tried it a second time and it made a nearly square cut. Picked it up for a third attempt and grabbed it by the blade. Feck me that's a sharp blade nearly took the end of my finger off.
Have tried it on the pushfit pipe 6 times in total, not one perfect cut. I actually do better cuts on waste pipe with my cheapo plastic pipe shears that are designed for 15/22mm.
Verdict: Not very good at cutting waste pipe but exceptional at cutting fingers.
