Does some lovely bends in 25 & 22mm. For more elaborate work in 15mm I would go for the monument bender, as compound curves in this are a bit compromised in my experience. As a general copper pipe bender though, it works perfectly.
The bend guides marked on the flywheel are a bit of a puzzle to fathom and getting a perfect 90 or 45 is more luck that judgement but that’s a more a user issue, not the tools.
The black part that holds the pipe was damaged and kept putting dents in pipe when I was bending it and the 22mm side was putting extreme ripples in my pipework
Best price I could find and good quality. Made bending easy. Check out the videos online for tips and tricks in how to use
Bought this in order to complete fitting new radiator in the bathroom. After a couple of practice bends it worked perfectly and the result was far neater than the previous mix of compression and solder joints. Well worth it.
Tried a smaller bender before without great success.
Easy to use and makes nice bends. No creasing to the pipe.
It’s a good tool, a little bit tight to get the guide in when new but does work free.
Excellent piece of kit. I did take the rollers off and pop a dab of grease on the pins though.
Novice when it came to bending 15mm copper pipe but this worked really well. Nice smooth bend with no ripples.
Bought to move pipes in my kitchen which I’m refitting. Very well made and did the job and at a good price. Would recommend although one of the more advanced models would be useful if the amount of work justified the extra expense.
I’m a medical gas pipe fitter, a main part of our job is to bend copper pipes , the more bends the less joints , less joints less brazing. I have seen fitters from time to time buying different benders but they always get binned . The first thing I do with a new set is pull them apart and put anti seize on all the moving parts . Best benders by far.
Great tool and reasonably priced, definitely would recommend.
Generally robust pipe bender but the piece that supports the tube was not in line with the copper tube. This resulted in a kink in the bend, returned for refund. Replacement ok and is excellent.
Good tool for the price, would recommend it, for the frinds
Very good quality and price works fab
Excellent very good quality
Superb bit of kit, wish I'd bought one sooner to fit bathroom out
