Rothernberger used to supply a 12 mm guide with their 22/15 hand benders for this purpose maybe try the wesite regards Turnpin:rolleyes2:

^^ as above^^
You just need the 12mm guide and bend it in the 15mm wheel.

I have these ridgid benders but for 10 mm.
personally i would get a spring and anneel the pipe, wear gloves thats if your only doing a bit of it.

Aren't all mini benders 8mm,10mm and 12mm? I am sure mine are, just use a pair of grips for leverage, if you are doing a lot this looks like a nice bit of tooling..

I'm fairly certain Bahco do a set of 12mm benders.

Just warm the area up your doing and use your normal 12mm ones
