I’ve only got the 15 had for around year now and love them nice and light straight forward to use now and again I put little bit of silicon grease on the plastic guide just make it smoother as some copper is just well not great and makes world of difference with the pull. Clip it on and then simply through 90 degrees, bend it round, Just nice and easy to do with the extended arms. The Monument Copper Pipe Bender, 15-22mm, is designed to professionally bend BSEN1057 15mm and 22mm copper pipe and 15mm stainless steel tube.

If you compare to the Bahco 15mm bender at 3x the cost, this is great value for money, doesn't do 180 degree bends but looks just the same if you do two 90 degree bends close together. As you can see, it's not the quickest and easiest to pull bends, but it is still my favourite bender. Ease of use all depends on your personal strength but I find it excellent that I can remain in a kneeling position and use the bender with no problem. But what I love with the Monument benders is even though they're much smaller in size, there are still no problems with bending 15mm pipe.The built in former is a big revolution for me only having to keep the bender without any formers it's mint. A pipe bender applies to the pipe by the former as it passes through the guides to form the desired angle. It is well documented that soldered fittings and compression fittings interrupt the flow of water around a heating system. I don't need extension pieces anyway, probably would for the 22 mil bender if it's the same length as that.

The springs work slightly differently, in that you feed the tube inside the spring and carefully bend using pressure with your knee. You can get your pipe in there, that's sat in there, you don't need another hand then to get your former in so what you do is you put it in, there's plenty of markings around the outside and as you bend, go down a bit further and go a lot tighter.

The Monument 15mm and 22mm Copper Pipe Bender is designed to professionally bend BSEN1057 15mm 22mm copper pipe and 15mm stainless steel tube.Best purchase by far when it comes to pipe bendera, had roberg, hilmor but these new style monuments are f***ing awesome. These benders are much better than the combi benders - easy to carry easy to use and great for close bends.

It's a real nice piece of kit and great to fit in your tool bag or box, I think it's got a great chance of being bought by the trade. And unfortunate a bit of corrosion on the handles, however it’s not effected the performance at all. Just for reference, it does come with these instructions and the angles that are marked are 30, 45, 60, and 90. I've heard a few people say, oh well what about the Former, it's plastic whatever, but it's replaceable.Plus you can screw the extension pieces into large Double radiator vent threads to help carry between two people really easy! Best purchase by far when it comes to pipe benders, had roberg, hilmor but these new style monuments are f***ing awesome.

We got the extension arms, it's got the permanently attached form which I think is a fantastic feature of this. So light in the hand and with the long handled version that I bought it is very easy to pull a bend and match it up to the pre marked angles on the guide.They do exactly what they say, they're very light weight, they pull a tighter bend because the former is actually a lot smaller. I'd of liked to of seen some degree markings cast onto the benders for young apprentices and also a way of storing the two separate parts together.
