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'm in a similar boat to the OP except I've got to replace both front pipes - the ones that go from the ABS modulator to the
hose unions in the wheel arches. I've got no pipe tools at all so I've nothing to bend or debur with. Do you think I could get away with the scaled down 5000 kit, as opposed to the full 9500 kit?
If I bought the 5000 I'd need to get a separate bending tool (e.g. the
Irwin 210) but I don't know if the one included in the 9500 kit would do a better job.
PS. Drat! That Irwin 210 was £18.99 last time I looked.
