Very complicated plumbing job today, re routing 15mm copper pipe around

What where you doing, tying a not? ;-)

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


Certainly worth having, but remember these won't bend a tight radius -
so there are still times when only an elbow will do.

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.


I have the Hilmor GLM one which does make very nice bends with very
little deformation of the pipe... order code 7762 at BES

Anyone used one? Any opinions?


Plastic pipe perhaps?
