Pipe benders are used to shape pipe such as copper or steel, creating angles and bends to suit your requirements without distortion. I don't need extension pieces anyway, probably would for the 22 mil bender if it's the same length as that. Best purchase by far when it comes to pipe benders, had roberg, hilmor but these new style monuments are f***ing awesome. The 15mm pipe bender also known as tube bender is an essential part of the toolkit for any heating or plumbing engineer. I really like the light weight of the pipe benders and the effort to bend is a lot easier than traditional pipe benders.

When installing plumbing or electrical conduit piping, you might need to bend a pipe around an obstacle. The 15mm XVE with its extended arms gives more mechanical advantage over the 15mm XV, making it even easier to make a bend. This one slides against your pipe work, straight into the hook on the side, and you're just pulling straight down.It's my favourite bender that I've used and I think it's probably the better bender that's on the market completely. It is well documented that soldered fittings and compression fittings interrupt the flow of water around a heating system. It takes a bit of getting used to like all new tools but once you get it they're as easy to use as the old benders. All in all I'd definitely highly recommend them and yeah check it out, thank you Tool Talk, thank you everybody.

It's a real nice piece of kit and great to fit in your tool bag or box, I think it's got a great chance of being bought by the trade. 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. Plus you can screw the extension pieces into large Double radiator vent threads to help carry between two people really easy!

Better sight lines – as the bend is in the same plane as the arms of the bender it is easier to line up by eye.

The former guide is plastic and moves around, plus I don't like that the two arms are detached with no way to lock them together. If you compare to the Bahco 15mm bender at 3x the cost, this is great value for money, doesn't do 180 degree bends but looks just the same if you do two 90 degree bends close together.

The only thing that may be useful to have is some markings to indicate the angles to which you can bend eg.

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.
