aldi pipe bender

[LordEoin]

Did anyone get on of these? and if so are they of much use?
The max pipe thickness is 10mm, but i noticed that they still have them in my local Aldi and it's one of these things that will keep clawing at me until they run out or I buy one.

I borrowed my mates to make my chiller, I couldn't get the knack of it. I think you have seen the pictures of my chiller...

The coil is mad but that little 90deg bend at the top is spot on.

[LordEoin]

that's not 10mm pipe is it?

[googoomuck]

It's is, it was covered in white plastic. Oil pipe I think it's called. The 90deg bend is my favourite part too!!

[LordEoin]

So it'd be great for making a square chiller, eh?

I very nearly bought one of these. They looked good quality. I need one for 1/2" pipe though. I couldn't see myself having to bend <=10mm often enough to justify it.

exactly my thoughts.
and to mm pipe comes in a roll, so a chiller can be bent around a cornie easy enough.
still want one, but refuse to get one, but want one, so i'll probably get one...

@LordEoin first off, my chiller is ovalish. Secondly, some might say it is easy to bend (and in capable hands it
Might be) but all I had was a bucket of blue paint to form mine with. Small bucket at that.  Go on get one and put it in the shed.
