Default Pipe Benders

Hi All

Very complicated plumbing job today, re routing 15mm copper pipe around
several obstacles - ended up using around 30 solder ring 90 degree fittings.

Maybe it's time to buy a tube bender :-)

This seems to be a generic piece of kit
http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/...8255&ts=73868#

£23 at Toolstation, £29 at Screwfix or £34 at Plumbworld. Same spec &
picture.

Anyone used one? Any opinions?


Same one I have got and I would avoid. It's so slack and sloppy that a
simple 90 by eye is difficult. It necks the tube badly as well.
