Although like Draper some of it may be OK. I'd try it on both 15 and 22mm and see what it works like. But I'd say you'd get a secondhand Record off Ebay for that sort of price. -- *A day without sunshine is like... night.* Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |

Is this two-handed for copper tube, or heavy duty steel pipe/conduit? £30 is good for a genuine heavy duty pipe bender, or even a good quality light duty one for 15/22mm copper tube. Make sure the formers are still servicable -- if bashed, scratched, or embedded with grit (happens when you bend dirty pipes), then replacing them will probably cost more than a new bender. -- Andrew Gabriel |
