Hi Matpipe, I think you have done a fantastic job on the tool and i am impressed as i have never seen one before, Ps you are not fat mate
 
Aesthetics are not part of the brief with council housing, not round here anyway. For instance, we are plumbing in hundreds of electric showers at the minute, the housing officer will not allow any channeling, the cable is surface run from the CU in conduit and then chrome piped.

It doesn't really matter what the tenants think of it.

its called a need for future replacement and maintenence. Most council contracts have it written in the design specification that all pipes,fixtures etc... can be easily repair or replaced. There own maintenence engineers are normally multi trades that do compression only plumbing.

hi mate, i think anybody who has ever installed long runs,drops in 10mm copper could identify what a pain it can be to straighten out the pipe. The tool looks very good, congratulations. Now if you can get it in the market place for a decent price i can see it selling, and i would be interested.

if your confident in the tool you could maybe let a few members try it out and post reviews? (we will send it back honest;) ) maybe if anybody has a simular type of tool they could compare them against each other??

Can i ask, why would you ever bother running long microbore runs, that are visible? I can not see a positive reason for doing it, it costs more, takes more time to install and then is much more susceptible to damage once it is there.

I honestly do not think a tool like this, can ever pay for itself.
