bender

Bender ([benˈder], Moldovan Cyrillic: Бендер) or Bendery (Russian: Бендеры, [bʲɪnˈdɛrɨ], Ukrainian: Бендери), also known as Tighina (Romanian: Tighina), is a city within the internationally recognized borders of Moldova under de facto control of the unrecognized Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic (Transnistria) (PMR) since 1992. It is located on the western bank of the river Dniester in the Romanian historical region of Bessarabia.
Together with its suburb Proteagailovca, the city forms a municipality, which is separate from Transnistria (as an administrative unit of Moldova) according to Moldovan law. Bender is located in the buffer zone established at the end of the 1992 War of Transnistria. While the Joint Control Commission has overriding powers in the city, Transnistria has de facto administrative control.
The fortress of Tighina was one of the important historic fortresses of the Principality of Moldova until 1812.

    Anyone know what type of nut is needed for an Irwin pipe bender?

    My Irwin pipe bender has lost the retaining nut for the central bolt and the 12mm we have on site aren't the right pitch. Does anyone know what type of 12mm nut to get? Irwin don't, I've asked. No replaceable parts on their benders.

    Mini pipe bender

    Just wondering if anyone can recommend a decent mini pipe bender for mostly 10mm pipe. I have a nasty cheap one that just mangles the pipe as much as bends it! I would rather spend a bit and get a decent one as I've started doing a lot of hob installs recently. Thanks for any help.

    Bending offsets - your method

    right, when I'm bending offsets I make the first angled bend, usually 45 degrees then I measure from the straight end section across the distance of the offset I require, then I add an additional 20mm and mark the pipe around. then Its back into the bender to make the offset, I lower the wheel...

    Recommend a decent pipe bender for occasional DIY use?

    I can see plumbing becoming part of my DIY 'diet' in the next few years, so I've been looking at garnering a few tools together - one of which is a pipe bender. One for 15 and 22mm will do just fine. The options seem to be: A brand-new Hilmor or Record 'professional' type, A second-hand...

    Bender woes

    So went to use my bender today and the hook stop has vanished. Can I buy this anywhere at a sensible price ??? The only one I've seen is on ebay for £42 which I think at that price I might as well buy a new bender.
