Default Bending 8mm and 10mm pipe, bending spring or cheap pipe bender?

In article , writes
I need to bend a mix of 8mm and 10mm copper pipe, I see that one can
get pipe bending springs for this (that seem to go outside the pipe)
and also simple pipe benders like this:-

Which should I go for? Currently I'm tempted to go for the tool (or
one like it) rather than the spring(s).

The bending tool is far quicker and easier to use, go for it! I have one
the same and it is great, or rather it was once I'd filed the 3/8"
mandrel out so a 10mm pipe could fit (good old CPC selling cheap junk
imperial sized as metric).

Any comments?
