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,
 
Used to buy expensive ones they get broken or lost, now I buy 2 or 3 of each size of cheap ones off of ebay (you're laughing) they work just as good come with spare blades and for the price if they break or you loose them it doesn't matter as much I paid £8 for a 15mm and 22mm been using them for around 9 months now every day and i havnt even had to change the blade yet and they cut fine never spiral look the same as rb's

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.

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.
 
I fancy a rothenberger rotrac one as an adition to my slices , anybody have one?
 
I have come to the fact that most pipesluces only last a few months if your lucky so I just lob them away when they start spinning.

The kopex used to be fantastic as I had one for years now the one that lasted the longest for me was hold on from city plumbing.
 
I have the todays tools ones from toolstation at the moment. They seem to be about the best. I have had the 22 over a year and its fine. Have only recently got the 15 but it seems great.
