Recommend me a 35mm to 42mm plastic pipe cutter

[aveatry]

I have a no- name cheap pair of shears that drive me nuts - it depresses the pipe before it can locate the correct notch on the ratchet then when i do get it to start cutting it will not cut square I usually end up starting the cut and then stop squeezing and just turn the pipe.
So I have had enough and want a new cutter

I got the old black rothenburger plasticutters which are very good, not so sure about the new combined ones from the mixed reviews.

Yes I have had a look and they do not seem that good and people also comment on the older black ones being better but discontinued

Both myself and most of my subcontractors use ridgid cutters.
Well made good to use lifetime warranty but pricey!

Expensive though for DIY

Buy cheap, buy twice... An occasional DIYer would just use a hacksaw. If you're doing this kind of stuff regularly enough to want a better tool, get one that actually works
