Irwin Hilmor Pipe Benders Advice.

[RDB85]

I’m looking at purchasing a pipe bender, I’ve seen this on eBay: irwin hilmor t620100j | eBay - https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F163536049675

Would it be okay? It doesn’t appear to have the vice. But I’m sure one can be bought online? Or would you leave it and get another one?

It also has the 15, 22 and 28mm formers

 

[Corbs]

its the plumbers version so you would need to buy the sparky formers eg 20,25,32 etc

Price up the individual bits to complete it and compare it to a brand new one.

I think I would go for the EL instead of the CM version as that is made for steel galv. Good price though. The roller part on the steel version is hour glass shaped as opposed to cylindrical as in that one.

You’d need the conduit formers and probably a handle with wheel.

Okay thanks. I will leave it then as I was going to put a bid on it but to buy the formers, guides and the vice is really expensive.

So what version would I need the EL25?

 

[The Ghost]

Yes the EL25 but search for Hilmor conduit bender. I have two of them I am thinking of selling one but I am a long way from Liverpool. You can find them on ebay for about £275 refurbished and more importanly, delivered.

There is two in Machine Mart:

I will have a look on eBay. But as they are quite heavy postage is always quite high.

 

[The Ghost]

Still cheaper than that. Postage is around £28 which still is cheaper

 

[casperLennon]

I got one for £90 last week. New vice jaws and in decent nick. Just needs painting.

It is I will have a look on eBay and a number or different websites. What’s the difference between the two on machine mart?
