Looking for a good pipe bender

[Mad Axeman]

Hi all

I'm looking for advice on a pipe bender. It'll be for 3/8" SS pipe. I've been looking at a 'RIDGID 606 3/8" Heavy Duty Instrument Bender' at £194.77 inc. VAT. I tried to post a link but doesn't look like I can (@Dan ??) Anyone got any comments on that one or suggestions for a better one, possibly hydraulic ? It's going to be used for oil pipework on dissolved fault gas analysers on transformers at power stations. As mentioned, pipework will be stainless steel with Swagelok style fittings.

Can’t go wrong with either a ridgid or a rems unit

A little update. I went with the Ridgid. I've tried a few practice bends today before I tackle the real thing on site. I was impressed by the ease of the bend and also by the quality of the Ridgid.

You can post a link it will just go in a moderation queue and then I'll approve it. Might do it on the next few too but then will be fine.
