Review for Rothenberger Pipe Bender by AJL
13th November 2022

Quite simply not any where near as good as the himor’s. I must admit I like the addition of the guides own little bag/pouch or whatever you want to call it and to be fair it’s something Irwin could do with supplying with the hilmor’s. Don’t get me wrong these will get the job done but not my go to benders.

Replaced my hilmor benders that had the rollers seized up for these, they were on offer in City Plumbing, not impressed with them at all, for the money they do the job but is it worth it for the constantly wrinkling of the copper. If you can spare the extra cash go for the nerrad pipe benders, I’ve since changed to them and they are miles ahead, not once had a crease on pipework.

Only real men choose red benders. If your not a real man go with the yellow ones.
Might be worth grabbing some steel toe caps so you can rest the leg on whilst your hanging off the handle to try bend some 22

Lovely set of pipe benders.
The rubber feet do have a tendency of falling off over time, but so do all the others. Fairly heavy set of benders but I prefer them that way.

A heavy and unwieldy set of benders. The rollers have a tendency to come loose and fall off in the van. There is a lot of play on the pipe grip, and if not located just right puts a dent in the pipe.

Had an issue with some wrinkling on 22mm but a good clean and some scotchbrite sorted that issue.

I have had these benders since i was an apprentice 12 years ago and they are still going strong. They have rippled some bends but with a bit of a clean they work perfectly again!

I like this bit of kit, its fairly priced and does what it meant to do, I have to be honest and say I got this last minute and if I had a choice at the time I would have passed and looked into getting a different set, but saying that they do what they are meant to do

I managed to get this at a reasonable price. Great bender but first time out the box and it left a dent in my pipe so I have to file the guides as a slight mismold had occurred. Writing falls off in no time but this doesn't affect the use. Angles engraved on the bend helps for quick bending of pipe.

I started using this pipe bender from when I first started as an apprentice and when I got enough money I finally brought myself one and have never looked back I have it it for many years and although it no longer looks new it still performs just as good as day one and I still have both the original formers for it too

Needed a robust bender after my cheapo one died in the middle of a job. Yes it's not cheap but the quality justifies this. Love the pouch to store the formers in too. Quality item as normal from Rothenberger.

I used a mates set yesterday when doing a plant room, they weren't bad, but not to my normal standards of my hilmor benders, but to be honest the standard of pipe lately is shocking, I tried a few benders recently and on big bends the pipe ripples on all of them.

Good benders but have rippled the pipe from new from time to time despite cleaning and greasing. Not sure I can blame this on the benders though as copper isn't the quality it used to be.

These were my first set of benders I still have them and at 18st I can use them with ease. They pull a good bend and have rarely ripple the pipe. Allows for good control and tight bending. The problem comes when I hand them to my 12st apprentice he has to put them on the floor and lift himself to bend 22mm so he bought his own set from what shop £20... they are heavier and have slightly longer handles and I hate to admit it but they are easier to use than mine by miles.

Have had mine for 7 years now.

Really good benders, comfortable to use and give consistently good bends.

They do ripple occasionally but yoi just have to give an oil and tighten up some of the bolts to solve this, but that's just a general house keeping issue caused by wear and tear rather than being a fault of the product.

Look after your tools and your tools will look after you!

These have lasted longer than any other pipe bender I've ever had. Use them everyday. They have recently started rippling the pipe but I think it's because they need a good clean. Would highly recommend and by now I would have usually lost and replaced the guide but it's hand having the little bag
