Is there any difference between different pipe cutters? There seems
to be quite a range of prices for them

I bought the el cheapo Silverline jobby - only one my local shop had,
about
a £5. Seemed fine on the 15mm pipe, but it goes up to 41mm aledgedly. I
tried it on some solvent weld 40 odd mm pipe and it failed miserably - the
ratchet wouldn't engage.

Maybe a better one would cut bigger pipe as well?

I bought this one from Screwfix and unless there is a knack to it then I
am not
impressed .It is difficult to get the ratchet to enagage without fiddling
around
with the tool.

Made by Monument as well. That is crap. I know a few who have sent them
back.
