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.
 
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!
 
Sorry @Petej999 but when doing loads of it they are faster, don't get me wrong I will go for a square, hacksaw and file if I want a perfect fit or its not a straight forward corner, but with prefabricated corners and joints now the shears do the job perfectly. I have some similar to the ones @Rhino-Spark listed, as long as they are sharp they do a lovely job!
 
Cowboy tools mate, no wonder the trade is or has gone to the dogs, junior hacksaw and files are the way to go. mind you I h ave seen some Butchers use side cutters to cut mini trunking.

Move with the times
