Hello
I worked with my mate recently & he has the 15 & 22 benders.
They’re great.
Really good.

I've had a "Record Pipe Bender" almost all my career working as a plumber which I suppose speaks for itself.
However, my favourite pipe bender that I've ever used was owned by my very first boss plumber and was a "Kennedy" bender.
It stood on it's own tripod platform (which was part of the bender itself) and bent 15mm and 22mm very easily.
I've looked for an image on google without any joy but I'll keep looking for a link to the "Kennedy" and post it if I find one.

No, it's not that one battle.
It stood firmly on the floor (like a cantilever) and you mainly put the copper tube to be bent underneath and it was pulled upwards as you pressed down on the handle in order to form the bend.
Although you could swivel the head and also use it upside down/sideways to form sets in the pipe.
I'm still looking for an image of it - It's design was far too good for it to ever be entered into the huge and ever growing museum of "Seemingly Good Ideas In Plumbing" !!

I’ve got the new Monument Benders.
About £100 for both with the extended handles(not needed for the 15mm one). Williams had the best price when I bought them a few months ago,
I thought I’d put up a thread on these & the ‘measure back’ sizes.
They’re very good, but I can see some disadvantages with them.
