The plastic pipe makers sell their own tools. None are a fiver.

... and your point is?

The makers tools are not a fiver. Duh!

So what.


Frankly,even if they cost £15 it
doesn't matter if the result is that
a proper joint is made under a bathroom floor.

A proper joint can be make without a
specialist cutter. The cutter makes
matters quicker, nothing else.

The manufacturers (all of them) recommend
using a pipe cutter.

They "recommend", not say it is mandatory.
Even Hepworth on this ng stated
a specialist cutter is not necessary.

In manufacturer's published installation directions there is

snip drivel

I said..."They "recommend", not say it is mandatory. Even Hepworth on this
ng stated a specialist cutter is not necessary." Now read that out loud for
a few hours.
