Absolutely loved your video and your honesty in stating what you think of these new I’m been looking for a great set of plastic pipe cutting thanks for sharing and being honest I would really love to be a winner regards from Scotland 🏴
Great review, it’s good to hear an independent reviewer that’s not being sponsored. Should definitely do more tool reviews. Your videos are fab and much appreciated 👍👍👍👍
Agree the black slice cutters are great .So easy to use when reaching in somewhere and always a clean straight cut. Might get the combi if I lose one .
I've got an old pair of monument pipe cutters that cut as well as they did the day I bought them, I tried a set of rothenberger ratchet cutters but the were forever jamming up I'd heard a few people had similar problems. Great vid Alan much love from Skegness 😉
I bought one of these cutters and it's going back. Apart from a couple of of successful cuts on 32mm pipe most spiralled the cut, both on 32 and 40m PVC pipe.
I’ve got the multi rothenberger (32/40) it’s ok for 40mm but 32 is tricky, had a number of “corkscrews”. Prefer individual cutters, ox are good. Ox Ratchet copper slice are good too
I did the same upgrade last December on waste cutters, my honest opinion I still prefer my older black version 32, 40 and 50mm I have. I dunno why but prefer the open slice then click together.. But never used ratchet cutter, I have that basic Rothenberger Rocut with spring up to 28mm... Cool video 👍👍👍
Ay lad love Rothenberger tools especially the water pressure tester which is good for testing an installed system and also for getting the young apprentices learning about doing good solvent or copper flux connections with scraps of material so when pressure tested they hold. That tool really does refine your technique. With the ratchet cutters sharp blades and if you can localize them in a fixed position with little movement you can get a clean cut but that maybe too much faff for some, not sure turning the pipe helps to get a clean cut - it no doubt makes it easier to cut - but I could be wrong.
Got the 4 piece Rothy set a year or 2 ago with 15, 22, 1.25 inch and 1.5 inch. They're great so no need to replace. Some guys use ratchets on lead for a decent cut but not tried it myself.
Abs? My hacksaw cuts any ABS. Thicker walled pipe I got my sawzall with a pipe blade attached. We really are in an age where plumbers can no longer us a hacksaw... damn... Kind of happy my journeyman when I was younger didn’t allow us to single size cutters lol.
I want to open the channel up to everyone. Let other people get free tools and i will add the videos here. I want this channel to be for everyone. Thanks for all your support.
A really well explained video. Like Alan, I have the old version push on twin-set pipe cutters which work great. Ratchet cutters are okay, but not the best.
Ive got the ratchet cutters, I use them all the time waste pipe and MLCP. Ground source pipe etc they get battered Allen. On waste pipe its a bit of technic, but they always leave a little burr on the outside that needs to scraped off. If you don’t it can push the solvent to the back of the fitting. stay safe and say hello to the clan.
I was taught to glue the pipe not the fitting where you can. If you glue inside the fitting the file will be pushed inside the fitting causing hair and gunk to cling to and cause blockage. Everyone has their own way but this is how I was taught.
We have recently bought these and they spiral on the pipe a fair bit and also very stiff to turn if you squeeze the ratchet to tight on the pipe think the older ones are better
You are doing great work and are a great bloke too. What would you expect to pay for a system to system swap vaillant to viessmann 200w 26kw. + magnet filter. Easy ground floor with flue exiting external wall . Electric to side of boiler and 22 mm gas pipe . A simple transplant ?
I've always used ratchet style cutters, I have had one rothenberger pair around 10 years and they have been good. Even cut lead with them for a real nice finish but the blade isn't that sharp any more (probably from cutting lead). I would give the other plasticut style ones a go though.
I bought the red set yesterday and took them back today to get my money back, they suck at cutting 1 1/2 plastic and just tramline up the pipe.. The black ones are the only ones to get
Black cutters all day long, easy to use when up ladders etc. Spare blades inside cutter and simple to change. Only ever have an issue if cutting pipe which has been painted, this can cause chip in blades
Great video review as always, i use the same cutters as you the 2 diff sizes Also i have the monument rachet cutters which i mainly use for plastic pipe 15/22mm but i have even used them to cut 42mm waste pipe they aint too bad
I recently bought the 32/40 one, worked great the first few cuts but now just cuts a spirals most of the time, wasted loads of pipe. Would not bother again.
Im definitely interested in the 2 in 1 cutters but will i just end using the rachet as its one cutter in my tool bag. Has anyone got these and who do you think
Dame I only bought some 32/40mm slices last month had no idea about the new ones Can’t justify buying them now But if I can get the 21.5mm one on its own I will
Hacksaw gang brother. Always will be. You won’t find me or any of my apprentices using these cutters. The reason reason why is you’re failing to build their skills for pipe, so when they come across pipe 3”, 4”, 6” which is typical in drainage they get intimated, and since they never built their hacksaw skills they give slanted cuts.
I love rothenburger tools and freeze kits and also look for parts but can never find a place to purchase in the USA very hard to find and I find my kit is not in English but fine tools you want me to buy your tools so then make it easier fo me to purchase them Joe C.
I bought a pair of Rothenberger gland pliers (water pump pliers) think they would be quality. They were just the cheap and nasty versions the sheds sell. What a let down.

Why are you spinning the ratchet cutters, you will get a perfect square cut if you go straight through. you are using them wrong, learn to use them before you review them 😆
After watching this, I’m definitely going to be investing in these bad boys!! Thanks Alan 👍🏻
Makes the job so much easier. Thanks for watching.

Well done giving Insight to the cutters we all need. On the job. ✅
What do you use at the moment? Thanks.
Black rothenberger plasti cut set all day long bought a set and work brilliant wouldn’t change
They are brilliant for sure. Thanks.
Nice to see you made it out the igloo Allen.

Hi Jamie. Thank you so much for the comment.
Got the 32mm/40mm one, I stoped using it and went to the monument ones as found it was hard to cut pipe when it’s in place with the rothenberger ones
Old generation of cutters much better in my opinion
Thanks for sharing Allen
Thank you for watching.
I bought one of these cutters and it's going back. Apart from a couple of of successful cuts on 32mm pipe most spiralled the cut, both on 32 and 40m PVC pipe.
The older one is definitely better in my opinion. Thanks.
I've got the 2 in one Rothenburgher and its woefull. Great for cutting spirals on 42mm solvent weld pipe.
Thank you so much for the feedback. Reviews like this are priceless, Thanks again.
Hello Allen - keep up the good work....!!!!
Thank you so much for your kind words.
You make me laugh with you when a box sundly open 😁 cordially good video

Wouldn’t want to try the ratchet on lead just know it would squash it always use a hacksaw personally

Hi Ian 😂😂😂😂 I do not miss them days. 👍Thanks
i’ve got old faithfuls will stick with them, have never changed the blades.

Hi Mike, Thank You very much for the feedback.
The black cutters have spare blades inside when you open them up
Have you ever changed the blades? Thanks.
New tool Tuesday is calling me

Hi Tom. Thank you so much for your feedback.
Great video are the twin rocut made in Germany or Spain thanks
No idea where they are made. Sorry.
I bought the red set yesterday and took them back today to get my money back, they suck at cutting 1 1/2 plastic and just tramline up the pipe..
The black ones are the only ones to get
The ox rachet ones are the best I've found, but they all break eventually
I do not know what they are, to be honest. I will check them out. Thanks.
Allen what make are your black pipe cutters.
Rothenberger.
Black cutters all day long, easy to use when up ladders etc. Spare blades inside cutter and simple to change. Only ever have an issue if cutting pipe which has been painted, this can cause chip in blades
👍👍👍👍
Good review
Allen what type of pipe were you cutting was it pvc or abs will they cut both
I am not actually 100% sure, I will check and let you know. it will definitely cut both though. Thanks.
Great video review as always, i use the same cutters as you the 2 diff sizes Also i have the monument rachet cutters which i mainly use for plastic pipe 15/22mm but i have even used them to cut 42mm waste pipe they aint too bad
The black ones are amazing no question about it. Thanks so much for the feedback.
The Rotocut can squash thin ABS overflow. But are really good, for cutting Multilayer pipe. My Roto cutters are, different. No large and small slots!
Hi Kevin. Thank you for your feedback.
I recently bought the 32/40 one, worked great the first few cuts but now just cuts a spirals most of the time, wasted loads of pipe. Would not bother again.

Im definitely interested in the 2 in 1 cutters but will i just end using the rachet as its one cutter in my tool bag. Has anyone got these and who do you think
How we doing Paul. Have you still got my little Allen Hart cutters lol..
Yes need new 10mm cutting wheel 🤣 send you a picture tomorrow.
Dame I only bought some 32/40mm slices last month had no idea about the new ones
Can’t justify buying them now
But if I can get the 21.5mm one on its own I will
Hi Alex. What's your opinion on the ones you have?
@@AllenHart999 the ones I have are great they are similar to the ones you use (the black ones)
But having two in one is a great idea
The plasticut pro looks good will have to order a set and give them a go in still using a hacksaw for overflow and waste pipes 😂
Let us know how you get on with them Mark. Thanks.
@@AllenHart999 will do collecting them tomorrow for a boiler I'm fitting on Tuesday
Feel free to do a review on them and send it in. I will add it on one of the plumber's videos. Thanks.
