How to cut this bended copper water pipe?

Hi Guys

Someone seems to have bent the outdoor water pipe.... I googled it, and it seems like the best way to deal with the problem is to cut the bent part off and use some kind of jointer.

Something like https://www.bunnings.com.au/sharkbite-dn15-copper-slip-coupling_p0692418

But before that, are there any ways or tools to cut off the broken pipe? Do I really need to make a bigger hole in the wall?

Hello @JK8486

Just a friendly reminder that any plumbing work must be carried out by a licensed plumber for safety and compliance.

Generally speaking, the repair will require that the hole be made bigger so that you can have better access to the pipe work especially if it can't be disconnected and pulled out from within. Due to the limited space a multi tool with a steel cutting blade should be enough to cut the copper pipe. The plumber will probably solder another piece in front of it as it is an outdoor application.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
