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 :-)

I've found pipe bending skills a bit beyond me, in muscle _and_ skill, or
maybe it's Norm next door's bender.

But perhaps 45 deg elbows would help (screwfix 26209-85); and even *I*
don't use solder rings any more, end feed are no harder to fit and _much_
cheaper; ie 15 mm elbows end feed 100 for 14 quid, solder ring 100 for 25
quid.

And my local discount place is a lot cheaper than that
