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.

John, the tool is about £7, this is not an excessive amount . How much
does it cost to have to redo it because you haven't done it properly in
the first place? and once you've got it you won't have to risk bodging
the job in the future for the lack of the correct tool, I would strongly
advise you to do this as well, it will pay dividends in the long run.

Remember the DIY credo:

"No job's worth doing if it doesn't require a new tool"
