I'm looking at buying a proper set of copper pipe benders instead of
messing with bending springs.

Can anyone reccommend any particular brand, selling near the lower
price end (ie under 50 quid).

I have seen Faithfull for about £35 and Silverline (which are usually
cheapest) are about £25. The Record ones are about £65 so too much to
pay for my occaisional use.

Thanks for any pointers.

How about the mini tube bender?

Toolstation have the Record one for £47.57 which seems a good price
but also sell one for £23, which I think is likely to be by
Silverline.

That's a big difference. Is it worth it?

I bought the cheapo one for £23 from Toolstation and found it bent the pipe okay, but slightly on the skew. No good when you want to put a double bend in a pipe. When released the sodding pipes would fly off in the wrong direction, hence to say ithis bender is now in a safe resting place......

the skip!
