Anyone remember or use the Rothenburger tool that would form a tee in copper pipe ??
 
Re. Rothenberger branch former. I've used the REMS one, but only very occasionally. Also the branch needs to be brazed in, not soft soldered, and that close to a wall the extra temperature would a) scorch the wall, b) probably wreck the joints below.

Could use a wire hacksaw like Silverline Wire Hand Saw 330mm
