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

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:-
http://www.dm-tools.co.uk/product.ph...oogle/sn/FAIMB

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

Any comments?

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?

Not used a mini-pipe bender, but 15/22m pipe benders are far superior
to bending springs.

With a new tool, you may have to deburr a bit with a file around the
pipe entry/exit points from the curved channel, and a little bit of
grease in the channel also helps.

A 6/8/10 bender at £10 would be preferable to any spring.
