I need to bend a mix of 8mm and 10mm copper pipe, I see that one can get pipe bending springs for this (that seem to go outside the pipe) and also simple pipe benders like this:-
Any comments?

The bending tool is far quicker and easier to use, go for it! I have one the same and it is great, or rather it was once I'd filed the 3/8" mandrel out so a 10mm pipe could fit (good old CPC selling cheap junk imperial sized as metric).
Arse, arse, bollocks, arse (not a good day today)
This one might suit you better.

Not used a mini-pipe bender, but 15/22m pipe benders are far superior to bending springs.
With a new tool, you may have to deburr a bit with a file around the pipe entry/exit points from the curved channel, and a little bit of grease in the channel also helps.
A 6/8/10 bender at £10 would be preferable to any spring.
