If talking about 636, I'd go with the kit "TC3-636SK" for dealing with anything 3" or smaller. If you happen to work on some fairly big boilers or water heaters that require you using 4" often enough, you'll want the "TC4-636SK" kit.

For how often I use 4", I just use sawzall or hacksaw and clean up the big mess of shavings after I'm done.  I also use the milwaukee m18 hacksaw with a metal blade for cutting out old 636 or abs out of bad spots... I used to use the electric milwaukee pvc sheer for cutting out old abs and 636 when I used to have it. It made quick work of removals.

I would also get extra cutting wheels as the blade sharpness makes a pretty big deal in how hard cutting the pipe can be over time.

I edited my post. When I said blades at the end. I meant cutting wheels. I think there's specific ones for cutting 636 to work the best.
