    OX do make a great pipe cutter. I have used their ratchet one before and it is a real game changer when the space is tight. Build quality is spot on. I would be happy with a Ox Polyzip Flex pipe cutter is my toolbox.

    As a new self employed plumber, the first bits of kit I bought were by Ox. The ratchet cutters are my favourite thing ever and don’t put a little dent in the pipe like other cutters. I’m sure these plastic cutters will be just as good and I can’t wait to add them to my kit 💪🏻

    Talk about perfect timing, I'm currently fitting out my new canal boat and have been looking for a suitable pipe cutter and was not sure which product would be best, I have a Prowarm underfloor heating being put down, an Impey wet room going in (all inspired by following your channel James) and plastic water pipe feed throught out the boat, this Ox Polyzip would be a god send or a James send in this case, either way love your videos and thankyou for making plumbing doable for us amatures.

    Hey James. Good video Looks like great tool. I did buy the Knipex BiX but couldn't get on with it because it would track the pipe so went back to my trusty Rothenberger snips. But always looking for alternatives, especially for those tight spaces. The BiX does allow the blade to be positioned closer to the outside edge of the cutter so you can cut exiting waste pipes flush with the wall: an enhancement for Ox perhaps? 👍🏻

    It will be interesting to see these up against the knipex bix , as the bix does I believe 15-50 mm all in one , has a spare port for blades , only main difference is the bix you can move the blade closer to the edge of the plastic so it can cut closer to the wall, also I’ve just retrained as a plumber , so slowly getting my tools together so these would be a great advantage for me in my tool bag

    just bought a polyzip 35 for £12 from City Plumbing and returned a rothenberger manual cutter to Wickes that was £18 that did nothing but crush ABS 32. If I had seen this video before I would have bought the C2. Ox make some great products. Plastic Pipe sizes are a bit mad. I was looking for a 32mm rotary cutter for 32mm pipe. Decided to actually measure it with a caliper. Definitely says 32mm on the label but outside diameter is 35ish. 32 is ID, just thought I'd share so you don't waste your time and think you're going mad like me.

    Looks great but I wish you’d of tried to push a fitting on the end of the waste pipes to see how easily it goes on, I’ve had many different cutters but they seem to leave a very slight ridge that you need to chamfer down in order to get a fitting on, not just push fit even solvent weld fittings are a struggle to push on and off if you want to do a dry fit first.
