The chrome plated stuff I got from Screwfix a few years ago was hopeless
any bend over about 10 degrees and the pipe just snapped. The stuff from
wickes I have never had a problem with.


Beware of Focus, who used to sell (and may still do) something that
looked like chrome but was in fact steel, which quickly blunted my
cutters. Now I always check the inside of the tube before I buy


Are you sure it wasn't a clothes rail someone put back in the
wrong place?
