joe90 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 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.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CC45 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I never bothered with them - you can push them into celotex. Hand was sore by the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpmiller Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I've one sitting doing nothing at the moment. Something to add to the forum loan scheme? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe90 Posted November 16, 2017 Author Share Posted November 16, 2017 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.

SuperJohnG Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 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....

Gav_P Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 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.

Gav_P Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
