Re posting as it seems the original never made it.

Hello,

The rollers in my pipe cutters have rusted and seized, I will try to
unscrew it and lubricate it to bring it back to life, but I wondered
about buying a new one. Are there any that are stainless steel and
don't rust?

I see some have a "flap" like this:

whereas some do not, like this:

Is the "flap" useful? Or does it make absolutely no difference?

Has anyone tried this ratchet cutter:

It sounds useful in theory but how is it in practice?

Thanks,
Stephen.

Both links are to the same item.

The red with a yellow flap type, make it particularly easy to cut a
pipe with one hand and in a tight corner, plus the pressure increase
automatically. If the other type was like a G clamp, they need more
space to turn, really two handed and manually need to be tightened as
the cut progresses.
