Kibosh Emergency Pipe repair

[CES]

Just been reading about this guys invention for a temporary pipe repair.
Kibosh - emergency pipe repair

Looks quite good, might keep one in the van for when I cut through the central heating pipes with my ripsaw! lol

Think some tweaking s in order , early days

Oi!! Leave it!

On a serious note, I think the OFTEC guys (I'm only saying this as I am one too!!) should get a little banner thingy (whattever you call these new things). As I think good advise on oil burners is just as important.

[Dannypipe]

Well I'm not a sponser. Much as I'd love to be, all my spare money goes on beer and crisps.

[Dannypipe]

I know. Apparently I'm a forum sponser. Its news to me. Hope they don't send the heavies round for a back payment!

 

[PlumbBobBob]

you're not now danny

 

[Barry98]

Opps its a goner

 

[Dannypipe]

You spoil sports!!

Actually phew, I was half expecting to receive a demand in the post for late payment!

Agreed Phil. Better to just get the water isolated and deal with it properly than faff with one of these. Though it wouldnt hurt if people had one at home for emergencies. They need to make a 22mm one. Possibly a 28mm one too, as there is loads of it around.

I won't be buying one anytime soon, I have enough gimmicks. I'd end up lobbing it in the bin after it sat there for five years. I have a tool for toilet seat back nuts.....what was the point in that!!?

echo that!! It looks a waste of time.
If a pipes accessible enough to fit that massive contraption I will sure as hell fix it! In fact I would fix it anyway..
Maybe useful for a DIYer, but I can see this doing most of it's work in the back of the DIY novices tool cupboard...

Theres just too few cases where it would be usable IME
