Just been asked to help out swapping some radiator valves. Microbore with lots of paint on the pipework:-)
The last time I did this I lifted the floorboards and changed the pipework to 15mm under the floor so the stabs up to the rads were 15mm and we could use proper valves with no reducers. The copper was clean under the floorboards and at the rad valves and it was an easy job.
This time the microbore comes out of the wall with no play.
Never had a problem cutting an olive on 15mm pipework with a hacksaw blade but never tried it on 10mm.
Hints and tips welcome.
