To the OP:-

Spike, if you want a laugh, do a Google for this group on IMM, Doctor
Evil
(same person) and hacksaw.

He flooded out a friends house after trying to joint plastic pipe when
cutting it with a hacksaw.

When working with new to you materials, it's always best to give
yourself
half a chance and use the correct tools.

Goes of Google wards ....Returns

Bwahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That made my day, that did... 397
posts!

Ill be doing what any smart person would in these circs... Ill be going
to
the tool emporium, purchasing said cutter, and then returning it once job
is
done due to it "not being the right one after all"..

And you'll find the plastic pipe cutter is nowhere near £15 as quoted by
John, its well worth getting the correct tool to do a good job, there is
a time for bodging and this isn't it

Bertie, £15 for one joint? Are you nuts? He is best using a hacksaw and
finishing off the pipe trim and square with a fine file, taking care not to
score the outside of the pipe. The use a brass compression joint.
