Anyone else think that 15,22 & 28mm of the above is bloody hard to cut?? Even with brand new cutters it's still very difficult to cut.
Your thoughts please.

All the pipe slices are junk these days. Made by accountants.
The £3 ones from bes last just as long as kopex/ rothy's monuments and those things they sell in grahams or whatever. Tried them all.
My first set of slices 20 odd years ago lasted me about 3 years (with a few wheels). Now i'm going through 3 - 4 sets a year.
I've just ordered 10 sets (5 x 15 and 5 x 22 for £35) of the tornado ones from bes which should last a year or so. (they come with a spare wheel too )
My old freebie plastic pipe cutter will last another 10 years at least for all i use it.

I had a tear when I finally got rid of my original kopex slices. 1997 - 2000ish / few new wheels and lots if tlc.

Oh it's fine Trudy dear boy, we found her again.
She'd been saving her pension money for weeks & gone on a giant bender. At 89 you'd think she'd behave!!
Never mind, we got her Scooter back out of Cash Convertors & the Police are not pressing charges.

He was already on a second chance and didn't learn.

I know members rub each other up the wrong way occasionally. That's part and parcel of a forum. By and large everyone gets on.

I actually had one "me or him" pm. Normally I pay no heed to that sort of message because I won't be held to ransom but in this case I knew it wouldn't be too long before we had more pm's like that.

There's been more than enough upset these last few months. Really can't be dealing with another exodus.

So farewell Dickie it was.

I was cutting my 3/4 pipe with a junior on tuesday because as usual my new pipeslices (kopex), just bought on monday are shyte and the wheel won't spring forward and i stupidly took my old ones out the van on monday night.

Btw if they are loosing 4mm on a cut buy them a wheel :wink: :lol:

Try Irwin pipe slices, there brilliant and last well. Irwin ones are a bit bigger, making it difficult in tight spaces. My kopex slices do that, just bang them on something solid and the wheel pops back out, not a permanent fix but gets you out of a tight spot.
