If you can pick them up cheap they are very good at the job they do.
Dont care how much you say hacksaw for yt2 you will never cut as neat that these do.
So if your installing alot of yt2 then I would buy these.

Good for a few weeks until they get blunt then they just squashed the trunking
Use the CK variant for trunking (MMT2) and conduit for years, won't get a cleaner cut and no clearing up to do after - would recommend!

18V circular saw works great
Might just be me but they seem a bit pricey.....I'm sure they'd be handy because they can cut a 45 degree mitre but the jaw only opens to 35 mm so only good for mini trunking.
I used to be a glazer many moons ago, but as I'm a spark now I use a tool from then an it's by far the best for trunking, it has angles marked out and can create notches etc. They are miter snips, but if you get a set don't go cheap and steer well clear of the stanley blade kind, Lowe miter snips are the only ones worth getting and are approx 20 great British pesos.

Link to these provided but if you check a local window supplier or plastics supplier you will get them cheaper.
I hope this helps, but once you get a set you'll use them for far more, blades can be removed and sharpened or replaced. I used these everyday for atleast 5 years, sharpened twice and still going.

Strangely enough I done glazing many moons ago as well and have a pair of these, But must admit never used them on mini trunking as always relied on the trusty old hacksaw

I've been using the red CK ratcheting cutters for a little while now with no problems. Yes obviously you can use a hacksaw for a very similar result, however when doing a lot of trunking work the cutters save time and a lot of mess!
If you try them, please let me know if you find them useful or not.
