This /golden rule/ was broken by our plumber (we call him "hamfist").


Over a year later we sprouted 2 leaks due to the O rings eventually
failing, presumably due to nicks introduced by the burrs on the pipe
ends.


The rest of his work only just avoided the best bodges thread.


I really can't understand a pro - or anyone plumbing for money - not using
the correct tube cutter. They're hardly expensive, and save time too,
apart from giving the cut required.

Of course bar room experts like IMM or Drivel will always think they know
better.
