Love watching your videos Rodger, if only to keep up with modern tools. I moved from the UK to Spain, and had to wait 5 years for modern tools to arrive, then 6 years ago I moved to Colombia, I will be dead before there is anything modern over here :-) they still dig trenches by hand here, takes years to complete a project, the argument being, it helps employment!! Keep up the good work.

Great video Roger. Saws and swarf are a pain and few plumbers clean the ends up. The cutters just need to have very sharp blades, not that difficult to do and you get a square cut every time. The twist works every time to get the cut started. The solvent weld takes care of softening the slight ridge from a good pair of cutters. I use a mix of cutters and also a portable small, battery, cut off saw with a fine blade which is so quick on a big site and is easy to make fine adjustments. As I've mentioned earlier watch the spec. on waste pipes for heat tolerance.

I have the OX and a Rocut 42 and will always give a twist on the pipe with both. It didn't take long for the point on the OX cutter to wear and then it deforms the pipe just like the rest.For the best result, I ratchet them up to the point where it starts to squeeze the pipe, then just rotate all the way around, it will come off in one leaving a perfect edge with no deforming at all.

Im thinking of connecting both down spouts to a Y shaped connector so I have just one outlet. I want to reclaim the area over which the 20 foot pipe is located I discovered this after I took down s rotten deck. I dont really want to dig a trench to bury the 20 foot pipe. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.

Can I please ask why cause I own all sizes 32, 40 and 50mm and I find them just lovely, they don't squeeze the pipe no inside or outside burr and cut in 1 or 2 complete turns whic means less than 3 seconds. I can't think of working without them. Can I please ask what a great professional like you think is wrong with them? Thank you very much advance

I've found a hacksaw good for cutting the white waste pipes, and using a flatting pad on an angle-grinder to get it back square when the cut goes wrong.....perhaps that's why a broad-bladed saw is better??...it might keep a long cut straighter in general??. :)

It’s worth mentioning that with the pushfit pipes - waste and soil - when you insert the pipe into the fitting, once you’ve hit the stop you’re supposed to pull it back out 10mm to allow for expansion

I have old copper drain pipes which connect to the external gully under the ground level. I want to connect my bath, shower and sink wastes outlets with PVC to the copper pipe which looks like 2 inch. What connector should I use? Is a straight rubber boot with hose clips OK or is it better to use solvent weld one end to the PVC and push fit over the copper with internal rubber seal?

There is an exception to that external diameter difference PVC/Polyprop. Yorkshire is weird. There are 2 estates late 60's early 70's build South of Bawtry Road, Rotherham and the Hoyland estate near Barnsley. They have polyprop/push pipe that has the exact external diameter as pvc/solvent weld. So, in some cases mechanical or compression fittings are actually essential in joining pre-existing pipe to new. Some old timer at the plumbers merchants told me about it. I know that sounds daft, but it's true. Had me scratching my noggin for a time as I pulled off some old push fit and attempted to fit new ones. I much prefer PVC. Neater, better and cheaper. Even the chippies say that the door cases and sizes are "weird". It's grim oop north, tha 'nos?

I think that it was some attempt to standardise sizing as we went from the imperial to the metric system. Worse still some 1950's estates in North Sheff have nominally 1/2" copper... which isn't. Nearer 5/8ths" and with ruddy thick walls. That old adage that a 15mm will fit an old imperial 1/2" would not work. The wall thickness meant digging out my hand swager, repeatedly heating and walloping away to enlarge the insert. Holidaying in Rotherham? This year, the missus insists we holiday in Royston Vasey. She's feeling nostalgic for her youth. She is ex "local".

Just me.Some things work and dont need simpifiying for speed at the expense of not working at all.

Saws are for the dark ages, the cutters all squash the pipe and generally don’t cut straight, the slicer style cutters have a place, for me cordless grinder is far superior, better in cut quality, less fatigue ,speed of cut and adaptability it’s also your chamfer tool at the same time. Downside is, a mask. Each to their own method though.

Excellent video. However, I would NOT twist the waste pipe into a glued fitting. If the pipe is slightly off-circle in cross-section (such as after having been cut with one of your ratchet cutters), you run the risk of sweeping the glue away with the widest part of the oval. In a worst case scenario, both the pipe and fitting will be slightly elliptical. Any twist may introduce gaps in the glue. The drawback to non-twist entry is that you need to apply the glue well, to both parts. Just a bit of glue to the mouth of the fitting, so you're not pushing excess glue inside. Better to add more glue to the pipe! Half-circle, oval and elliptical in one explanation - what could be clearer than that. Anyway, no one could possibly be bothered to read this entire boring and pedantic comment. . .

Over the last few days I bought some 32mm and 40mm plastic pipe and wanted to cut my 3 metres down to a 400 mm length. I bought 2 of the cheap options, neither was any good on the 32mm which apparently is a standard size in the UK. So, I went back to the cheapest option of all as I just wanted one length, a hacksaw. Cost zero as I already had one. Took 2 minutes to saw through it

Those ratchet cutters are a waste of space , i use a little 12 inch Barco panel saw and mitre block which cuts perfectly every time and a tiny amount of swath that is so small you can clean off with ease...... Cheers

I did do a few television shows back in the day but they were always trying to turn them into game shows etc, they didn't believe that there was an audience for this kind of stuff.

I just wanna know why I have a big box full of joints and corners and fittings , all claiming to be 40mm and absolutoly not a single one of them will fit into any of the others in any way , its f000king rediculous how this industry doesent know what 40mm is and just make shit up as they go along .

Sorry Roger but that's not the correct way to use those ratchet cutters.. You apply gentle pressure until the blade touches the pipe, rotate the pipe 360° to score all the way around, squeeze handle one more notch then repeat. Unfortunately a lot of people tend to use them like scissors then wonder why the pipe deforms.

TD that is fine. I am happy to learn. Ox are saying there is no need to twist it but as I said it helps to prevent distortion. As for scoring all the way around I will try it but I fear it will trammel.

I thought exactly the same surprised to see bad feedback on the rothenburger cutters I’ve found them so much easier than anything else and when done like you say it’s a perfect cut every time 👍

For "waste" pipe, step 1 use someone else's hacksaw and gloves LOL
