OK. I have a 1 year old Rothenberger pipe bender. I've kept the formers and bending tracks nice and clean with wire wool. It is rippling occasionally on 15mm pipe and almost every time on 22mm pipe.

I am about to throw it in the bin and get another one. Any recommendations for a good quality pipe bender that will last? Don't mind spending decent money on something that people rate highly.
 
I've got the Bahco one but that's silly money and I rarely use it.

Have more trouble with poor quality copper than poor quality benders.
 
Think it must be the copper. had a Record bender for years and never had a problem with 15mm but for last few yearsthe 22 ripples nearly every time. Tried using a hacksaw blade between the former and roller as a shim and this sometimes helps.
 
My rothenbergers ripple occasionally so i've been thinking of treating myself.......might give the bahco ones a go...
 
bend it now make Nerrad benders.
can grab them from pts.

however i haven't tried them or know anyone who's given them a bash yet.

i had hilmor glm but searched ebay for two years and found a still boxed set of records early cranked arm benders. haven't rippled or kinked abit of pipe in a year now with them.
 
mmmmmmm available from an independant suppliers near me Ray?

No, 'fraid not TT. We don't stock them, but I remember others raving about them, so that was a genuinely altruistic post. My one for the year. Maybe decade. Ok, century then. :)

We are rotten beggar stockists. :)
 
Buy direct, they're on offer for £49.99 including delivery. I ordered mine Sunday and bizarrely, they arrived on Monday :s

Well impressed!
