If you use the word "apparently" before the statement it sounds better.
Apparently, a six inch length of broom handle drilled through lengthways with a 5mm hole works just as well.

Next time I do a MI fire alarm install I will post images.
Both of my broom handle and the MI tool for taking the kinks out of the cable.

Cant see a broomhandle covering the range of pipe sizes that one will cover and how do you get a broom handle on/off a bit of pipe that needs straightening once the fittings are on

Straighten the pipe before fitting the pipe nuts and flaring. I very rarely ever need anything bigger than 3/16” .Cant see a broomhandle covering the range of pipe sizes that one will cover and how do you get a broom handle on/off a bit of pipe that needs straightening once the fittings are on

Last time I did any Pyro was at the foundry in the 70's, some with a dozen cores on the controls & instrumentation circuits.

It is dying art now.
Very few can do it, a sod of a job. But pleasing when done right.

Ours wasn't stored in the best of conditions so you had to meggar it, cut a foot off and meggar it again to make sure you'd removed all the damp powder

I still have the cable drum holder with built in "Kink Remover". Blow me down did that make it hard to pull a length off.
Did you ever meggar a length and find out it was shorted to the out case?
Great for those Norbert Moments.

You can only mock if you haven't done just the same yourself.
