Pipe clipping tool for UFH pipe

[joe90]

I have found a local neighbour/plumber who is going to help with my UFH and he suggested hiring a pipe clipping tool but I have failed to find anyone who hires them out. Any suggestions.?

Staple gun is what you want to search for:

Cheers mate, I have  TP near me in Bude, never thought of them, I traulled all the local hire places to no avail.

They're not cheap are they those guns!

Did find one for £95 or offer on Ebay but £27 a week is better ?

I never bothered with them - you can push them into celotex.  Hand was sore by the end.

I've one sitting doing nothing at the moment. Something to add to the forum loan scheme?

That did cross my mind...

Turns out that even Travis Perkins can’t get one locally and they will only source one for me if I have an account with them ?. dpmiller I have sent you a private message.

Just opening this back up - Wunda delivered me a bunch of staples that go with the gun however I didn't buy the gun. Is it worth getting it? (100 plus VAT I think). They said theyll send me the thumb staples...but I imagine that'll I'll have a really sore thumb after laying 1km of pipe....

@SuperJohnG, there is one for loan from the forum, I know I borrowed it and posted it on (can’t remember who had it next).

I just used my thumb... and after that got sore my toe (in a shoe of course). 
 

it took me longer to get the pipe at the correct angle into the manifold than it took me to lay and staple all the pipe work.

Oh also the is the pipe spinny thing that is part of the ‘pool borrowing’ stash - it helps spool out the pipe... which can bit a bit annoying to do by hand.
