As I said in my post, the link was purely an example of the full kit, I wasn't encouraging the OP to rush out & buy it.
I'm aware that Sykes do 4 kits but the only difference to both the full & basic 4.75mm (3/16in) kits is the additional upgrade tools for 6mm pipes (02726600).
In other words, the full or basic kit with the 6mm upgrade.
If the OP already has the cutting tool, de-burring tool (this tool is for internal & external burrs) & the pipe bending pliers then the basic kit is fine.
Of course, there's always a hacksaw & file. Copper pipe is very soft so the pipe can be shaped by hand to a degree (Kunifer a little harder to work by hand).
I like the above tools in the kit because it gives a nice cut & a nice finish when de-burring which aids a nice tidy flare.
I use mine on a regular basis & just recommended from personal experience.
