Rothenberger 52000 Rocut 0-42mm Plastic Pipe Shear

I, like many others I imagine have bought cheap alternatives of this tool. They have all proved useless so eventually I decided to part with some hard earned and get the real thing. I should have bought these years ago as the outlay is soon earned back in time saving on the job. Only used on 40mm solvent weld pipe so far but the time saving is huge. No need to deburr like you do when cutting with a saw just cut glue and assemble. Perfect square cut every time

Great cutters for plastic pipe

Doing a new bathroom install, and with plumbing not being my day job I didn't want to buy separate cutters for 15mm supply pipe and larger waste pipe. Also produces much better cuts than a hacksaw. On 15mm speedfit barrier pipe you get a nice clean square cut, perfect for leak free joints into fittings. Some reviews complained that these cutters crushed waste pipes, but I only found this to be a problem if you're trying to snip a tiny section off the end of a pipe. One tip, put the pipe in the jaws so that the point of the cutting blade which is mid way along the blade, enters the pipe first. This gives a cleaner cut with less chance of crushing. The blade is replaceable should you use it lots and wear it out, but I doubt I'll need to try that anytime soon.

ok

Rothenberger quality tool

Great cutter but the spring that allows the blade to snap back is extremely brittle and has snapped on me very poor quality do not recommend purchasing this product

Very hardy, good clean cuts, lasts for ages and spare blades available

Best cutter I used. Super staraight cuts and very sturdy. Well worth the money. Paid for itself after one job

Recomendo

Die Schere schneidet PE-Rohre einwandfrei, macht gerade Schnitte ohne ausgefranste oder scharfe Kanten und das alles mit geringem Kraftaufwand. Was ich eher zufällig entdeckt habe ist, dass man damit auch kleine Schläuche perfekt schneiden kann. Druckschläuche aus PU, wie die von z.B. Festo, lassen sich ebenfalls schneiden, ohne dass der Schlauch gequetscht wird, indem man die obere Vertiefung direkt unter der Klinge (von der Seite gesehen) nutzt und dort den Schlauch einlegt. Der Schnitt wird damit ebenfalls gerade. Silikonschläuche habe ich aber noch nicht getestet, die sind aber sehr weich und eher ungeeignet.

Goede kwaliteit en doet zijn werk.

Nice cutters, sharp and can open one handed.

Se siente bien a la hora de hacer los cortes. espero me dure mucho tiempo !!!
