I have to ask, is there such a thing as a set of 15/22 benders with detachable or telescopic handles.
(Newbie/student on Lvl 2 Plumbing, hence the dumb question).

Not that i know of, besides if they did make them I think they would be rubbish due to the force needed to be exerted when bending 22mm.....

phew big words for a Friday............I think I need a lie down now!!!:speechless:
 
why ? imagine loosing a part !

Oh yeah, very good point there. As to why ... well I just like the idea of compacting things down to the minimum possible for travel on the bus/tube in london; I've not even upgraded my phone since they went big again.

Go get a job with Pimlico then you'll get a van....IMO plumbers need a van far too much gear needed to "carry" begger that on the TUBE aswell!!!

Imagine that one.....yes mr insurance man I need insurance that covers me incase I hit a banker with my pipe benders on the tube..........
 
COLUMBUS, Ohio-Parker Hannifin Corp.'s Tube Fittings Division has developed a new line of tube benders with adjustable handles that make it easy to bend copper, aluminum, steel and stainless steel medium-to-light wall tubing up to 180°.

Features of Tube Benders with Adjustable Handles:
o Forms accurate bends up to 180°
o Ergonomical handle design
o Bends copper, aluminum, steel and stainless steel tube
o Available in 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" sizes
o Vice mountable
o Uses same bend radii as 2829S benders

I'd say, my record benders will last longer.

Bent brackets do for everything from the benders to my multimaster in its bag........tools are the easy part, its when you've stripped out an old open vented system and have to cram in all that lovely but filthy scrap and a cylinder that no matter how long you've had it propped up on its side to drain it,....it STILL manages to spew out green gunky crap all over your best tools cos you've left it till the last thing to go in the van, its dark outside, your tired so it just gets fecked in on top of erything else and sods law dictates it leaks on your best bit of kit....every time..
 
Strap it to the roof rack!! I've done it in the past, but that's cos I drive a vauxhall Combo and don't have the choice if the old man's not around with his Navara.
 
one tip is to get a rubber o ring from a 110mm socket and tie a knot in the middle of it, you then have a figure 8 that slips over the end of your benders arms and stops it swinging open etc..... better for storage and carrying.

patent pending 🙂
