Absolute pants IMHO sp, get the abrasive role. Those tools rust up in no time.

 

[Billy Bob Bob]

steel wool ,heat and emery strips have not failed me yet

 

[Leo21]

I was given one, waste of tool box space.

 

[PlumbBobBob]

i use abrasive strips on a roll, cheaper then individual strips.

Croppie loves the half hacksaw things!!

I think it was croppie anyway.
Them hacksaws with the blade poking out the top. He found it to be the god giving light of our saviour Christ!!

Weren't me. But I was impressed by the string on soil pipe trick.

 

[TerryWaite]

They are good for cleaning hemp from screwed joints that's the only thing I have ever used one for

 

[Phil]

Makes me wonder who here actually deburrs the inside of their pipes? I'm going to slice open all your installs to check.......

 

[TerryWaite]

Only ever seen 1 person do it, respected that man, if time wasn't an issue I would do it myself

 

[Roger Welton]

I only tend to do gas lines myself

I missed that. What is it??

 

[PlumbBobBob]

there was a vid on utube about it. basically you can cut through any size plastic pipe with string. the friction caused by the fast sawing action of the string on the pipe melts through it. i'll have a look for the clip and post it up.

Regular away and I don't do gas. That's the benefit of living in the sticks, plenty of 28mm/1" copper 🙂 But the 28mm slices are pants.

Love my 28mm slice, great for cutting out gravitys. The ones with deeper serrations are better for gripping. Or irwin slices are good as well, buts bit big.

Give it time 😀 just use webbed abrasive tape on the outside, far quicker and better results.

if your hot about deburring use a pen debur tool and do it properly.
These pipe prep tools only deburr less that a 3rd !! Oh and i have them sat in my tool bag for those LOVELY kitchen gas/grease pipes 🙂
