Saw a couple of them in germany. Bends slower than a first day apprentice on the job at 16!
most you can do on them is 22mm.
i have the milwaukee pipe slice and like it. Serves a purpose but i do admit i use my pipe slices more. It does save your wrists tbh.
its like marmite.

Do they do a sandwich slinger attachment for a drill. Won't need to stop for a break then.

its true, try having a day without a cordless screwdriver......... wow you soon realise how strong your arms and wrist's were back in the day. I can still remember the first time i worked on heating as an apprentice, my job was to fix all the rads, pipes clips using 2/12 x 10 screws and a 6 inch screwdriver. I was not allowed to use the lads yankee screwdriver's. I had to save to buy a yankee but it made me appreciate good tools.

day one i had an impact.
my friend was slightly silly in his car and i got pretty damn beat up but mainly the joints in my arms and wrists.
two weeks of doing absolutly nothing and then 6 more weeks only light tasks made me seriously weak. Im still amazed how quickly muscle wastes.
next 6 months it was screw drivers and bending springs!
My friends who are gym rats still wince when i give them a hand shake
in those days you were luck to have more than one size screw off the gaffa. In fact your were lucky to get anything at all of him.

that's for air con copper the reason they use that tool is they've trained as sparks and the *****'s cant pull a bend on a manual bender
mark,
Fridge pipe is 3 times thicker than plumbing pipe and I would not like to bend 1.1/8" gas line on any bender that didn't have a pump or a motor. Anyway Mark two different systems, plumbing use as may fittings as you want the good old pump will pump it around, fridge making bends and setts, less to braze, less chance of crap inside the pipe, who worries how much crap is inside a heating system, flux by the tin load, no one knows how much goes into a new system.

you can use as many fittings as you want on fridge pipework as long as it's purged with nitrogen and vacced out properly same with plumbing you need to flush out the flux, I've bent 1 1/8 copper on a manual rachet bender its easier than 28mm copper, air con pipe might be slightly thicker but its softer due to it being purer. copper hope this clears up your confusion?
