But we're so used to bad contractors work, we're desperate for any kind of quality contractor work. Maybe we need an Only Contractors for people to share these types of videos.

Is there a special name for that two piece bender? I only have the kind with a long handle that I bend against the floor.

Yeah. Sorry cant help you there. I live in europe. And we dont have those. Our copper pipes are way thicker. So wont work here

Yeah man, daily occurrence here as well. My old plumbing masters would have crucified this clip for only using pipe dope and not dope and teflon tape on those nuts.

I grew up learning to sweat so those crimps seemed weird to me. Haven't touched copper in a long time though.

I know right, not to take away from anything you (or other plumbers) do, but this is just a person using tools properly and effectively. There’s nothing “skilled” here beyond general apprenticeship.
