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?

 

[RDB85]

I will keep an eye out for one either brand new or used.

Hilmor pipe bender, said I'd post a pic when I painted it so...... - https://www.electriciansforums.co.uk/threads/hilmor-pipe-bender-said-id-post-a-pic-when-i-painted-it-so.121612/
Yeh I bought one for £20 and the thread shows what it became under my loving care.
This thread is what it was so it shows you not to be worried about the condition and there is someone on ebay that supplies at a reasonable cost all the parts.

That is curious the links for ebay don't work and they have a smiley in the middle of them. Don't know where the smiley came from? Maybe forum mods could explain?

The original one I posted went for £75. Which is a great price shame it wasn’t the EL version. I’ve watched a few of the ones that have been posted so hopefully I can get a bargain.

Some say these were the UK manufacturers of Hilmor benders.

These green ones are a bit cheaper:

looks good to me. just buy a tin of smooth hammerite cover up that banana colour.the shorty is a good unit, not too heavy to carry.

Not much good without the vice.

 

[casperLennon]

It hasn’t got a pipe (tube) stop which will cost £27.30 as you’ll not find a second hand one. I was gutted having to spend £27.30 on a cast piece of aluminium but without it - you’ll not bend a tune! or a tube.

I slowly assembled mine from various sites I’ve worked on.
The stop was the first thing I obtained.
