Pipe Cutter

they are OK for copper ,diy use.

 

I prefer Fast Kut cutters from TS, easier to grip & turn if in a tight space,

 

Used a multitool yesterday to cut pipe, not a clean cut and leaves the pipe with burr and cant push fitting on without filing around the edges but would have been difficult to get a cutter in.

 

If you have room to spin it around, then it will do the job for you - no question.

 

Will do the job. Once you have an indentation you'll be ok. Don't tighten down too much for each revolution as difficult to get leverage!

 

You're gonna get that in a hard to access place?

 

Use one of those regularly for the 8mm tube when installing a gas fire not worth the effort on 15mm though

 

Yes should be fine with the multi tool, tried a cut on an offcut. Just need to make sure it is squarish and debured on both in and out.

I had a similar situation where a multi-tool (Fein in my case) was my only option without creating a mountain of remedial work otherwise. It was one of those occasions where you justify the purchase of the tool on these grounds alone and wondered how you ever managed without one. The thing is I still come across situations where the multi-tool is the best solution and have even added a battery one to my Milwaukee kit bag just for where the job is quicker to do that than plug the Fein in. They have their limitations of course and if you cannot hold the work piece firmly it will just get vibrated to death without any other result. If I was asked what general purpose power tool to buy (other than a drill) I think this would be it.

 

If the space is really confined. You can resort to a wire saw. Wire saws will cut through almost anything wood, metal, bone etc.

 

The other thing you could try is an angle grinder with a worn down where the diameter is smaller
