A new, innovative tool useful in fluidly coupling a lateral pipeline to a reinstated pipeline containing a continuous liner is provided. The pipeline reinstatement tool includes a flexible shaft that is coupled to a cutting head at a first end and a coupling assembly at a second end. The cutting head includes a hollow cylindrical member having cutting teeth that project longitudinally from the first end of the hollow cylindrical member. The tool includes a first compressible tensioner portion disposed about the flexible shaft proximate cutting head, a second compressible tensioner portion disposed about the flexible shaft proximate the coupling assembly, and a flexible sleeve portion disposed about the flexible shaft between the first compressible tensioner portion and the second compressible tensioner portion.

The device is for opening up a branch point of a pipe assembly. The device has a tip part arranged to be rotated, in connection with which there is at least one blade, and spring-loaded discs and protrusions which are separate from the tip part and arranged to remain essentially non-rotating as the tip part is rotated.
