Have to laugh at all this stick with the junior hacksaw. Nothing wrong with a pair of conduit cutters. Clean cut and quick. Sometimes you have to move with the times.

I find them useful when I've brought a conduit from under the screed to the underside of a kitchen island, I normally leave the conduit too long, and once the island is in place can't get to it with a junior hacksaw. Also the conduit cutters will cut through the conduit, but not the cable inside.

I did not say i could not use either the saw or the bit and brace,
So lets not get silly, whats good for one is not good for someone else its all about your choice hey ?

You sound like your on about pipe cutters that you roll around the pipe as its sharp wheel cuts in... im more inclined to believe the majority here are relating to the large hand hand tool that you squeeze the handles to have the blade slice straight through...
They add weight and take up space in the tool box in my opinion that is best used for essential tools especially while you have another tool to do the same job, as for getting stradly bits of plastic out of carpet i would of assumed putting something down to catch the waste wouldn't be beyond any sparkies thinking.
Agree occasially roller cutter can get into spaces where hacksaw cant but i use one of my other essential tools - a tape measure to get it right first time.

I can't believe the weight of conduit cutters would be an issue
