Default Cutting fittings off copper pipe for scrap?

OK. I found a teensy model which works just fine for me. Ten bucks
worth gets you an inch and a quarter of tool that cuts up to 1-1/8"
pipe in really tight areas.
Y'know, like when you're hugging a toilet
to get down to where a couple inches of service pipe enters the floor
and you have a leaky supply valve. http://tinyurl.com/4jth24y


I've got one of those. Mine needs the cutter wheel sharpened though.

How am I going to spend $300 of time fixing a $7.00 tool today?

Nevermind!

I found one which cuts up to 6" at a garage sale for a buck, so I'm
covered for larger stuff.giggle


Like my 24" pipe wrench. (Your friends *really* know you when
they give you a big pipe wrench.)
