Not me guv.
I wouldn't mind having a go at pyro, but I can't justify the cost of the tools.

No just galv AFAIK.
You don't need any special tools for pyro really, apart from a pot crimper.
There's a stripper and a crimper on ebay for a fiver at the moment. (but you'd need to check it's a 20mm crimper)

Do you think she would know how to terminate pyro though?
Did anyone mention glands ?
you can strip pyro with an adjustable pipe slice and a pair of side cutters! As mentioned, the only bit of kit you have to have is the pot crimper. I found it quicker to strip with the bar with a slit on the end (cant remember the name of it) than any of the fancy tools. Sadly I havent done any in years now 
ah, that's more like it

why would you want them in brass? cant be for corrosion, is it just appearance?
Nothing John likes better than rubbing a box.
we used to use
a) must have pot crimper
b) side cutters or pliers for stripping (I personly find it easier with pliers
c) A ringing tool but I was always made to practice using a stanley knife to score the ring, same technique was encouraged to practice on stripping flex
the older more experienced lads could score a ring with a stanley and strip with pliers/side cutters and get it right without fail every time, and fast too!
the apprentices got to do the ones where you could attempt with a longer length and lose the supplus in a void if when you did it right (when you started to run out of length you holler at the olduns to do it)
made for good practice though
