I'm fed up of trying to cool my brews in a sink of cold water and ice.
Thought I'd get myself a wort chiller.

Does anyone have one of these Benco ones from Amazon?

The seller seems pretty good, happy to adjust dimensions to suit.
Any recommendations or advice much appreciated.

Thanks. Maybe I'll have a look at making one.
My DIY skills bit rubbish and bit worried I'll kink it or something.
 
Coil of copper tubing, pipe bender, cutter, jubilee clips for you hose. You need something of the inside diameter to bend the coils around. There bound to be a YouTube video.
 
I made mine from 10mm copper tube. I wound it by hand into a spiral around a 2.5l emulsion paint tin. You don't need a pipe bender. I can't remember exactly how much tube I used, but you can buy the 10mm pipe in standard length coils of 10m, so I'm pretty sure that I used all of it.
I then soldered a 10mm X 15mm reducer together with a short length of 15mm copper onto each of the tales. I could then fit standard hosepipe fittings. However, if you don't feel confident working with 'Yorkshire' solder fittings then you could buy compression fittings instead.
I've been using mine for years, and it works well.
