It didn't work, just crushed the pipe,maybe the cutter wasn't sharp,or old copper pipe too hard,took it back to Toolstation they gave me a refund no problem
Brilliant product, easy to fit, would highly recommend
perfect for doing the job when you don't have access to the main stopcock or if it is seized
In general an excellent solution. My only comment is dont use the standard version on older 15mm pipe, it had a lot thicker walls and drill find it hard to cut and squash the pipe down, I had to switch over to a socket set to finish it. But this got me out of a very tight spot.
Excellent product game changer item. Really simple to install and immediate results
Very easy to fit. Fitted to live mains water supply before original stop cock tap as tap was seized and couldnt turn off.. not a drip works perfectly. Might seem expensive but much cheaper than calling a plumber. Will say though use a spanner or ratchet instead of a drill to punch through much safer 😉
On fitting it leaked after 5 minute , I will never buy this product again and I do not Recomended this product to anybody at all. I am experience trades man over 30 years.
Amazing piece of kit and a real lifesaver. In a flat with no other access to an isolating valve for the incoming supply this kit did the job perfectly!
Had a siezed main stop valve in an awkward position. It was a lot harder to turn the cutter plug than I imagined. My DeWalt drill stalled out, had to use a big wrench. I think this is because it is a 60 year old house and the copper was severely work hardened. With softer copper tube it would be easy.
Overall I think it is a great solution, and saved time and money.
Fantastic item which has got me out of trouble.Does what it’s supposed to do
First one had been used and returned the second was
Rubbish what a disappointment thought this would solve a problem just made things 10 times worse
Great and easy to fit. Always have one in the van now
Didn’t work for me followed instructions to the letter-one of the screws snapped and leaked everywhere -still think it’s a good idea but bit overpriced and just didn’t work on this old copper pipe
We bought this after sifting through Internet everything read ok coming to fit it instructions and video was easy to follow then came the actual fitting first part easy then actually cutting into the pipe the 2 drills i had one was a bosch professional range the other a milwaukee nearly ended up burning both drills out i had to finish with a socket and ratchet caution when you tackle this
Have installed many of these and although my drill isn't powerful enough a simple adjustable spanner woks every time.
It is easy fix live water good job
Our stopcock was seized, and we thought we'd have to call a plumber in to fix it until we discovered the Aladdin isolator. It is what I can only describe as magic, and throughout the whole process I was convinced it wouldn't work.
Our pipes are old and thick so we couldn't get it on using a drill. We ended up manually doing it with a socket wrench so it ended up taking perhaps 10 minutes to install rather than the usual <5 minutes. I couldn't recommend it more.
Very good product… ensure you watch the video online if you have never used one before
