I've never used one of these before, so it's hard to compare; but this did everything I expected it to. When choosing a pipe bending machine, it is important to consider the degree of angle required and the diameter of the pipe you are working with. I definitely recommend it for anyone who was looking out for a new pipe bender or to replace an old one. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

These benders should last for years as the build quality is of a high standard so in my opinion they are great value for money. They have aluminium diecast forms, CNC turned steel handles with knurling for improved grip and integral replaceable nylon guides; comes with both 15mm and 22mm guides. I'd of liked to of seen some degree markings cast onto the benders for young apprentices and also a way of storing the two separate parts together. This is literally the first time, I've just taken it out of the box, first time using it and it's so simple.To start off, so there's the former, start off by putting the 15mm like that in and hold, unlike our normal Hilmor where it flips over and you have to keep on guiding it in, it does hold it in. If you want to keep it tidy, as you can see, it slides straight into your bag although it may weigh you down a bit. Clip it on and then simply through 90 degrees, bend it round, Just nice and easy to do with the extended arms. Hey everyone, my name is Mark Edwards, MJE Plumbing and I'm here to review the Monument 15mm pipe benders. However, when I'm working on a job where I've just got 15 mm, it is a bit handier carrying just a small set rather than me big clumpy bending guide.

Plus you can screw the extension pieces into large Double radiator vent threads to help carry between two people really easy!Professional Heavy Duty Plumbers Pipe Bender 15mm and 22mm Pipes This is a professional quality plumbers pipe bender with the extra long handles to give you a lot more leverage to bend copper pipes very easily. I think one of my favourite aspects of it is the fact that it's interchangeable and fits into quite a neat package.

No fiddly guide that you put down then go back to find it to form another bend and can’t find it again. They fit in my tool bag, you don't have to waste time finding and inserting a bender guide, they're light and bend consistently without kinking or rippling copper pipe. Well made, easy to use, like the fact the guide is attached and can be easily carried around in my tool bag. When installing plumbing or electrical conduit piping, you might need to bend a pipe around an obstacle. These benders feel well made, pulls perfect bends with ease, fits in my tool bag and no need to carry a guide as it's all built in.Can't really go wrong with them to be honest, the 4 'degree' indicators are very clear and help a lot.

The built in former is a big revolution for me only having to keep the bender without any formers it's mint.The heavy duty machines consist of a former that the pipe feeds into then using the lever, helps bend it carefully around the former.
