I have seen Faithfull for about £35 and Silverline (which are usually

to
pay for my occaisional use.

I'd check out Ebay for a Record one secondhand - it's built to last.
Couple of cheaper ones I've used were basically rubbish.

On this topic.

What is the smallest radius of the bending for 15mm and for 22mm that
one can achieve with these benders?


The smallest is also the largest radius.
Approx without measuring - 65mm for 15mm and
100mm for 22mm.

I could say whether that to the inside, centreline or outside of the curve.
