Never used one but want to get one.
Learnt from a previous thread here that Rothernberger ones are considered good. This is their basic kit for £80:
Rothenberger 6.4020 Rofrost Handy Pipe Freezing Kit
On screwfix.com the only one they offer is £40 more expensive.
Commercial Pipe Freezing System - Screwfix.com, Where the Trade Buys
But it comes with more stuff.
My questions is about how necessary/helpful the stuff is and whether it would justify the extra money.
It comes with sleeves for a greater range of pipe sizes (8-35mm instead of 15-28) but 15-28 is all I really want so that fine.
But it says it comes with a weighing scale. Is this to weigh the can and see how much you've got left? It also says it comes with a valve and hose. Presumbaly this is how you attach can to sleeve and get freezing... well the rothernberger one doesn't mention valves and hoses but instead comes with an allen driver and contact foam. What are these for? Do you need to buy other bits to use with the kit?
Bit confused.
