JD BrandsLeak Mate – Emergency Pipe Repair Tool – Stop a Leak in Seconds – Leak Sealer

had pinhole in a 15mm copper pipe in a very hard to get to place, carried out a temp repair using this item which held up for over a week till the plumber was able to permantly repair, a very handy piece of kit

I have not used this item but wish that I had it in my toolbox recently. I accidentally drilled a pipe when putting a few extra screws in floorboard to stop them creaking. Fortunately I was able to stop the flow of water with my thumb whilst waiting for a plumber to come and help me, I have therefore purchased this as an emergency item, it is sturdy and certainly more than capable of doing the job. If adding to your emergency kit though you may also want to consider pipe freezing kit, pipe cutter and the necessary pipe fittings to carry out the repair. One observation though, I would say most pipes get burst over the notch in a joist where there is often a second pipe and very little space, this item could be a fraction of the size, made of thin steel to streamline and sold for 15mm pipe specifically, this would enable it to be used in very tight spaces.

What a fantastic piece of equipment this is, so much easier than cutting out the burst pipe section and replacing the piece with a joint or two. Completely stopped the leak, and it can be removed and used again.
