These adjustable designs ran for many years until Mr Garton from Isleworth invented the very ingenious single sized pipe cutter that became the Pipeslice ®. These slicers of Pipslice revolutionised the market and not surprisingly hit Monument’s production of adjustable pipe cutters. Monument successfully sold the Pipeslice product right up until the expiration of the patent, Kopex then refused to supply the product any longer to Monument; dozens of copies of the original Pipeslice design now exist in the marketplace. In the early 1990’s John Collier and a colleague designed and patented single size competing tools based on an entirely different method of cutting compared to the Pipeslice ®. These are the 15PC MON15PC and 22PC MON22PC Automatic Copper Pipe Cutters. #AskForMonument #MadeInBritain Take a look at the cost – a genuine Kopex Pipeslice® will not necessarily be the cheapest on the shelf – but it is true that ‘you get what you pay for’. Genuine Pipeslice® is designed as a labour saving tool. It can generally slice through copper pipe after just two or three rotations and twists of the wrist - depending on the size of the copper pipe.

The original concept of the built in ratchet pipe cutter was Canadian, designed by Heinz Hutt and there are now a proliferation of copies of this and other fixed size pipe cutters.

Our range includes: Ensure that exactly the right size rollers are incorporated in the assembly. They have a direct bearing on the tension and the performance of the springs - again affecting cutting performance. Remember the cutting performance. Genuine Pipeslice® is not easy to copy and that means alternative products may not have the same cutting performance. You may find the blade skids off the pipe as it may be difficult to engage.
