Yes, done that too, but there is the risk of scoring the pipe surface. I
found the spanner and hammer quicker and cleaner.

There's a good possibility of scoring the pipe with your method too.
Unless access is difficult - and then you'd likely have problems with the
spanner/hammer anyway - cutting a groove with a hacksaw then splitting it
is easy to do without marking the pipe. It just needs a little care.
Of course dribble and hacksaws are legendary for causing havoc so perhaps
more than a little care. ;-)
