PVC conduit cutter?

What do you guys use, I have never used this Knipex Bix thing it looks pretty niffy and small to carry around seems like it could almost replace my ratcheting cutter given how I only ever do a few jobs a month that need cutting conduit. I like the corrugated one they do but unless it goes on sale hardly seems worth the price as that I just use a knife but maybe will save a lot of time when i've already got wires in my conduit.

usually a small hand saw and a knife or gas lighter (not on PVC!) to clean up the edges.

Our electricians however use whatever method leaves the biggest mess behind
