Plastic Pipe shears

[printcom]

Hi Chaps,
I need a new pair of pipe shears for plastic waste pipe up to 40mm. The pair I have are blunt and a PITA to use. Anyone got any suggestions on what are a decent pair?

Can't you sharpen them ?
I use a no name orange pair , just tickle the blade with an angle grinder onece in a blue moon .

Have a gander at them.

We use them at work, a bit pricy. But work well, spares are available as well.

Had some from Germany that were part of a Rehau kit, they were the usual ratchet type but the handles were magnesium and the blade was either teflon coated or ceramic, black. light as a feather cut anything with ease. Had to hand them back when we stopped using their system :'(

Nearest i can find is Rothenburger Rocut 63, at over£60...ouch! And you dont get any lube when Roth do you

I know its no help...but if you find some tip us the nod

In the meantime just using the usual Holdon ones for bigger stuff or cheap plastic screwfix for 16 and 10 UFH pipe.

I have a set of these, hardly used. Might have been tempted to sell them but as you've ordered a set.
