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

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

Anyone used one? Any opinions?

Pipe benders are excellent tools: Much better that stupid springs etc...

Also, read this ( I have a copy printed off in my pipe-bender box. ):

The only thing to watch for is that the radius is much larger than a 90
degree elbow, so you can't make sharp bends round an obstacle.
