Hoping someone can help!! I’ve been plumbing a while and I like neat pipe work, with bends etc. I have tried various benders but the best I find are hilmor only problem is with time it throws sets out of square, more so 22! So annoying having to straighten them by hand! I’ve tried tightening the...

I can see plumbing becoming part of my DIY 'diet' in the next few years, so I've been looking at garnering a few tools together - one of which is a pipe bender. One for 15 and 22mm will do just fine.
The options seem to be:

Hi I have just bought some new hilmor pipe benders that are nicking the pipe on one side of the pipe when I pull a 90 degree bend on 15mm copper. Any one know a cure for this?
Had my Hilmor benders for about 12 years now and they've just started creasing the 15mm pipe... Anyone know why this is? Can i fix it or do i need to buy new?
Hi, just embarking on buying some tools for college I have seen a few pipe benders on the market, can anyone recommend a particular brand please? Regards
Is it me or am I been stupid the angle marks on the bender 22.5 45 90 they don't really seem to line up well with anything particularly the 90 for instance if I bend a 90 and put the mark to the centre of the pipe it's not 90 the angles just look like they don't line up. I was looking at this...
I've used my Hilmor tap wrench quite a few times over the last few years - mainly on basin and sink taps. I've come to the conclusion that it's utter carp.
I offer it up to the tap connector, and have to hold the curved, hinged bit against the side of the nut. More often than not, assoon as I...
Anyone used one of these on site?
Been looking at them on ebay and they can be a reasonable price, are they worth the money though? They do look like they would make life easier, and they do 28mm.

Went into my local Plumbase yesterday and they had a Roberger bender behind the counter, apparently returned because the metal clips that hold the pipes (upside down U shaped hook) was crushing and marking the pipes. Had a look and instead of it being a nice round shape to correspond to the...
My old Hilmor has seen better days (tho it really hasn't lasted that long) and was pricing up a few different makes.
Was looking at a Monument & Rothenberger
Any thoughts ? :confused::confused:
Been searching for ages for this pipe cutter. My mate finally found one on eBay! These seem to be quite rare but they are a great for cutting waste pipe.
Now, it came with the copper cutting wheel but is missing the plastic pipe cutting wheel (larger). Anyone know where I would get wheels for...
