Took on this task last weekend. I felt kind of clever when I figured out I could cut the copper with my mini-tube cutter by turning it over. I placed it on way and went back and forth to the limits. Then turned it over on the pipe making sure it was in the same cut line. Then back and forth the limited rotation that way and bingo all done. I felt this was way better than using a hacksaw or cutoff wheel and getting a bunch of debris in the pipe. Anyone else used this technique? Sorry, not enough confidence to sweat in valves, so I used these compression style.
