    ratchet benders



    Already have the usual hand benders in the van but fancied a set of ratchet benders.

    Rothenberger do a nice set but before I go and spend a little over £130 on a set, does anyone recommened a better set. Having searched the internet for the best price I can get, there arnt that many places that come up that do imperial ratchet style benders.

    Paying for these my self, so wondered if anyone had found a good deal on the rothenberger maxi set? Any one already got a set and rate them? I know they arn't ideal ideal but the odd occasion I have wished I had a set.

    Rothenberger Benders are better than most other brands on the market that I have seen.
    Won't go too far wrong in purchasing them, as far as Im concerned.

    I have the imperial hydraulic and think its gereat, maybe would prefer a flat bottom on it so you could rest it on a workbench etc when bending a long length on your own thats my only gripe ! oh and must remember to close the release screw before trying to pump up the next bend
