Rothenberger plasticut waste cutter or pipe shears?

[Mgrant]

I have always used to pipe shears that you squeeze down and twist the pipe to cut. However I am thinking of buying the rothenberger plasticut waste cutters. What do people find the best?

Very good I use the Roth pipe slices

Never had the need for them but each to their own

As above they are much better and easier to use. Just remember to put the guard back on

Thanks easier than the shears type?

 

[ShaunCorbs]

You use the shears on solvent waste ?

Best choice I've made for plastic pipes. The plastic cutters are very very good, clean cuts, safes times.

As Shaun says I only use the shear type on my 21.5mm now.

I have the rocut shears they are ace, clean straight cut & blade is still sharp. Well worth the money & time saved over hacksaw. A colleague had the slice which came into its own in a tight space
Shears probably edge it due to fitting in the box, not having to carry round the set of slices

100% roth slice set, all three sizes in a kit. Precise straight cuts and you can get in tight spots and chop out. A bit hard to turn on certain pipes and watch your fingers on the blade. I think others have already said keep the blade guard in place. Expensive but really anice addition to tools.
