BotusBuild Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 (edited) I need to cut the blue MDPE (25mm) pipe ready for mains connections, and know that when I get round to putting down UFH pipe, that I'll also need a pipe cutter for this plastic pipe. Does anyone have any recommendations for one to buy - don't need top of the range but something that will last for a single house build Thanks all. Edited February 27, 2020 by Nickfromwales 25mm not 28mm ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does pretty much all the normal sizes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterW Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Rocut shears are great but watch your skin as they can pinch the pad of your hand and give you a nice blood blister ... ask me how I know ...!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onoff Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Got two from Screwfix. One posh Rothenberger and the other their own brand. One's red, one's blue, look identical to me and do the same job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
