For what it's worth I bought kopex 15, 22 & 28 5 years ago and are still going strong
If you're interested in the Bahco ones, the cheaper Forge Steel ones from screwfix are the actual same pipeslice.
Harsh :wink:they will if they never get used though
the rollers come off th spindle. smear with silivone grease and its not an issue. keeps em rolling nice and free.The older Kopex cutters I had never missed a beat, unfortunately I lost them. The newer Kopex ones never seemed to work as well, and I've now gone to Rothenberger simply because they were best priced at the time. They also seem to be adequate, but I'm still forever taking them apart to clean.
I do think painted pipework quickly stops them working as well, as does getting them wet, something to do with the rollers becoming stiffer I guess.
Monument or milwaukeeeeeeeeeeeee
Anyone used tornado pipe slices. Browsing ebay and came across them British made mite give them a bash
I have some 15mm ones, lasted about two months and spring went kaput. Still sat in the box and get the occasional trip out if I can't be bothered hunting for my mate who normally takes my old Kopex ones.Anyone used tornado pipe 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.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,
Oh this reminds me!!
Could these be the most pointless tool ever made?
An electric abs pipe cutter. REALLY!!?

one learns with age to use anything that assists you to keep going.
Which is how ****** came to be so popular...
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!
