Hey all. I was wondering if anyone had an alternate method to straightening copper tubing other than the KwixUK straightener. They are on backorder currently and I don't want to wait 2 months to get it done.
I thought about attaching one end of the tubing in a vice and the other end with channel locks...then hitting the channel locks with a mallet to force the tube straight ( I saw this on youtube ). I'm concerned that if I do this I will cause the tubing to stretch and warp.
Any advice is appreciated.
