Yup, just to bend normal 15mm and 22mm copper pipes.

It might struggle with 22mm - I've heard of some cheap benders breaking.
Annealing it would reduce the effort needed - but be a bore.

It seems quite robust so I'll give it a go and see what happens. Works
fine on 15mm and does a neat job.

I only need it to do 3 or 4 'hops' over adjacent pipework and it was
cheaper than buying the appropriate fittings..
