    do you mean a cutter for cutting plastic pipe, or a plastic pipe cutter for copper pipe ? the plastic pipe cutters for copper pipe are rubbish, they don't last 5 minutes,

    Tom & Tony, it's quite interesting what Screwfix is selling. The John Guest cutter is £16.61 and says it cuts up to 22mm pipe, whereas the unbranded cutter is quite clearly identical and has been cast in the same factory, the only difference being that the John Guest cutter has their name embossed in a panel on the side where there is a blank panel on the unbranded cutter. However, the unbranded cutter says cuts pipe up to 26mm and only costs £8.95. It's quite clear that you are paying £7.66 for the name "John Guest" to be embossed on the side of the cutter.
