Bargain if you need one

Dare I reccomend benditnow benders. Triple the price, but made in Sheffield. They will really last a lifetime and still pull perfect bends into retirement.

I wouldn't want to suffer silverline tools daily.

I squirt some wd40 on the guides before each bend. helps release them and makes it smoother. does the trick for the price. but if it was my.daily job I would buy a more expensive set.

As an electrician can also recommend hilmor for a pipe vice

Still got my bending springs

Ouch!

Many people report good results with the Silverline pipe bender. Some have had problems that could be resolved with adjustment and lubrication. Some have had problems which are probably related to a lack of skill on the part of the user. A small number of the benders appear to have been badly made.

If you buy one of these and have problems, try lubrication and adjustment. If you are new to pipe bending, do a little research and practice. If you are convinced you have a badly made example, return it and try another.

I had used a spring pipe bender many times but never one of this design. I recently bought one of these and it was fine.

Excellent price and should be fine for occasional use.

I bought one of these about 3 years ago and paid around £24 - best price available at the time - and probably used it no more than 3 or 4 times since. It's worked fine for me but not sure how it would stand up to daily use.

I generally avoid Silverline tools but for one-off or very occasional use, they sometimes make sense. At this price it's a sensible buy to have around should you ever need one.

Bought recently from Amazon, seems well made for the price, although not used yet but will be very soon (renovating a bathroom currently). Considering that Argos is delivery only for this product I would probably buy from Amazon for their customer service, although I guess you might be able to return to Argos directly if it turns out to be faulty.

None anywhere near me. Same price Amazon with free delivery.

"and also comes with guides" pretty useless if the do not!

All that I can think of when seeing the picture; "te bai-by-gizmo. molto molto kin agrophos. Te facilos action-pumpo! te bai-by-gizmo!"

Although this is a good price, I won't buy Silverline tools anymore, very poor quality especially their power tools.
