Cutting Pipes (in tight spaces)

[undercover]

@ undercover - interesting. Which accessories do you find best for cutting tasks?

the E-cut universal saw blades will cut through most metals. For those times when you cant get a pipe slice in. Gives a neat burr free edge also. I also find the diamond segment saw blade a very handy tool, its like having a very powerful mini cutter and grinder all in one

That URL doesn't work for me - do you have an item number?

s#item number 150151203239

Still not useful for getting at pipes close to skirting, joists etc. Its a pipe slice with a ratchet handle - looks OK for general DIY'er but prob wouldnt stand up to much pro use

Got one of them. OK at £7 I suppose, but nothing special. Needs more room than a pipeslice. If you've got plumber's fingers, no advantage. If you haven't (eg you can't explode an apple by squeezing it) then it may be useful.

I'd rather use my teeth

How did you know I was going to add the bit about the apple?

It looks it. Slightly confused over what you get with that one. There are special tiling tools, which the title says, but they aren't shown or described.

I ended up getting that and it's so much better than the other one I had where you had to tighten the blade every couple of turns. 20 seconds and you have a clean cut - now I just need to improve my soldering technique!
