Bending options

@Nickfromwales @PeterW I've quite a bit of 28mm to do on a forthcoming job and wondered if you have any thoughts on bending machines other than the bog-standard floorstanders? Specifically handheld/ portable. I'm thinking of the crossbow-style ratchet or hydraulic ones in particular, but keep reading that the ratchet ones are only suitable for soft copper and would wrinkle half-hard.

No, can't use Hep before you say, it has to be good for steam service, and we're pretty much limited to compression fittings.

 

As we're only going to be looking at 30-45deg bends for offsets and such rather than pulling 90s, is one of the above units worth the try?
