One winner !

Is it a tool to straighten or bend tubing?

One jaffa cake (special anti-counterfeiting edition no less) !

Been looking for something like this for ages so my copper pipes are straight and easier to mark and thus bend.

 
Score! Today has been a good day :p

Edit: I wish there was an easy way to straighten normal tubing (is there?)

If you mean flexible tubing, yes, chuck it in some hot water to soften it, then hang it from something with a weight on it :) (not too heavy as to stretch it/deform it)

Yeah that's what I meant, I should probably have specified :) That's what I used to do with my PS2 controllers when the cables were twisted. Except without the hot water. Or some extra weight. I'll give it a shot next time I need to, cheers :)

No probs, it just helps make it more malleable you could just weight it, but it will take longer and might not hold it's straightness. But exactly the same thing happens while it's in use anyway, once you've filled your loop, a few weeks in the tubing will be more inclined to do what you tell it to because of it being heat cycled a few times so it will take on the tubing path that you've given it etc, just like with cables and whatnot :)
