True. The ends of the pipe come like that. But doesn't using full lengths
all the time make tap positioning difficult?

True.

Thank you

cutter is necessary.

I would probably lay there for 10 years with most people.

You don't leave it there for 10 years you dimm fool. You buy it from
one of the sheds, use it for a few minutes and then get your money
back.

Read any interesting plumbing leaflets today?

Recent reports from Japan of all places say consumers are totally fed
up with inadequacies of combi boilers and are now ripping them out and
installing high efficiency superinsulated copper tanks with a
condensing conventional boiler instead.

Copper tanks shiny and bright, What every fashionable airing cupboard
is wearing this year and for many years to come.

Remember the DIY credo:

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

Who said that? Your local rip-off tool shop?


It's called humour, so I'm not surprised it's lost on you.

There is a serious side to it too, which is that someone who understands
the
craft of DIY (rather than being an outright bodger) will appreciate their
tools and realise when a specialist, or even just better quality, tool can
be justified.

There are also craftsmen who will not pay a fortune for a one-off tool and
can do the job other ways.

You think making a plumbing connection is a one off job do you? I think
most people on here would disagree

But you're always recommending *inadequate* power tools with the comment
that you get a three year warranty so can take them back when they fail.

You say all your pals on building sites use cheap shed tools for this very
reason.

Bertie, it is for the OP. Not for me as I regularly do absolutely brilliant
things with pipes.

Yup. It takes real application to make a simple joint leak as you've
managed. How much practice did it take?
