well this didnt go well... Granted the B&Q website states this is for copper only...

@M_V, and all the other rack building pros, can you recommend a tube bender that will bend 10mm stainless (8mm ID)?

Many thanks

That’s the kind of bender I use for 10mm tubing.

It’s usually the other handle that breaks for me.

My current one is bolted to a big bit of brass square bar so I can hold it in the vice.

You definitely got to help the tubing around a bit.

fixed it, then broke it even more...

Maybe I need to build the @Hulsroy version!
